Knowledge Management and Electronic Information Management in Enabling the Next Generation of Public Services
In this
sharing session, Mr. Stephen Mak will brief the audience about the Knowledge
Management (KM) journey in the Office of the Government Chief Information
Officer (OGCIO) over the past years, as well as some sharing experiences on the
formulation of Electronic Information Management (EIM) strategies and
initiatives in the Government. He will
first talk about the KM Framework, including the KM strategy, KM processes and
KM tools to create a collaborative and innovative culture for driving KM in the
OGCIO. He will relate this to the
Change Programme that OGCIO initiated in November 2009. The Programme aimed at unleashing staff’s
talent, facilitating sustainable development of the Government IT profession,
and empowering them to inspire and support other bureaux/departments in using
and managing information and IT in their policies and programmes. Mr. Mak will finish off by giving his views
on how the Government can ride on KM and EIM to run IT like a business and in
enabling the next generation of public services.
