Next Generation Re-Targeting Successfully Held

We have an amazing evening with Mr. Ravel Lai, Group IT Director of Jardine Restaurant Group on Thursday night, 20th October 2016. It is without a doubt one of the highly memorable sharing we have had!

Speaking with real life examples and occasional humor, Ravel was able to captivate all our attention. He was able to engage with all our guests. Everyone was left with an up-beat mood knowing that Hong Kong is still a place for innovative marketeers. Beginning with an overview of digital marketing, Ravel re-visited the campaign he is heading where, between 2014 and 2015, he single handedly turn around the Pizza Hut loyalty program from negative growth to positive growth at a fraction of the cost of a traditional market program such as TV commercial. The success was not only about his ingenuity market sense and intuition in correctly predicting the behavior of his target customers but it also demonstrated his perseverance on what he believes in. He reminded us the important of the 3 right's, i.e. right target, right moment and right offer and revealed the secret of his success to all marketeers, "Think for the customers". On innovation, Ravel put it this way, many said he is thinking out-of-the-box, in reality, it is the box being too small for him! We can be certain we shall see more successful marketing ideas coming out of the Pizza Hut loyalty program in the coming months.

We are happy to see some new faces and new members that evening! Our sincere thanks to current KMDC members and Corporate members such as Census and Statistics Department and Tung Wah Hospital Group for their un-relentless support for coming to this sharing dinner. KMDC looks forwarding to meeting you in the next event. You can relive the events by click on here.

Creating and Sustaining Community of Practice at Huawei

After the fruitful knowledge exchange at the KMDC Annual Dinner in April, we would like to continue our quest on how a company could develop and create human capital. No ‘process or tool’ is near effective and powerful on our human Capital as building a ‘Community of Practice’. And there are not many international organizations that have shown strong commitment and achieved well-recognized successes in building CoPs as Huawei. It is, therefore, our great delight to have Mr William Liang, Knowledge Management Manager at Huawei, to share with us on the topic,‘Ignite the Trend!’. In this talk, he will showcase his valuable and highly practical experience and techniques on CoP management.

William’s talk will cover: The reasons behind creating a Community of Practice (CoP) and how it relates to the business objective and operations; the reasons why there is a sentiment of lack of participation in many CoPs; and how we can stimulate activities and achieve a branding effect for a CoP

In order to ensure participants to have more in-depth discussion with William, with his colleagues and with KMDC EXCOs, we would like to limit our seats to 30. Priority will be given to the current and renewal members and their guests. This is a great opportunity to learn from a CoP expert and therefore, please register early.
