First President's Challenge networking event brings companies, social enterprises together

SINGAPORE - The first President's Challenge networking event that brought together companies and social enterprises to see how they can work together for the social good went underway on Friday.

Get the full story from The Straits Times.

Here is the speech by President Dr Tony Tan at the President's Challenge Social Enterprise Corporte Networking event at the Grand Copthorne Hotel:

Mr Seah Kian Peng Deputy Speaker and Co-Chairman of the Social Enterprise Association

His Excellency Antony Phillipson High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Singapore

Distinguished Guests

Ladies and Gentlemen

Good afternoon. It is indeed a pleasure for me to join you at the opening of the President's Challenge Social Enterprise Corporate Networking Event.

In 2012, I started the President's Challenge Social Enterprise Award to recognise social enterprises that made impactful contributions to our society. Through the award, the President's Challenge aims to inspire more individuals, particularly our youths, to develop business ventures that also serve social causes.

Social enterprises provide avenues for Singaporeans to address the special needs of disadvantaged groups or to address a social issue proactively. By tapping on the innovative energies, passion and initiative of entrepreneurs, new services addressing social needs can surface through social enterprises.

Healthy knowledge management and social networking

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:

3-Oct-2014

Social network analysis could improve knowledge sharing in the healthcare sector, according to research results published in the International Journal of Collaborative Enterprise.

Elizabeth Cudney, Steven Corns and Suzanna Long in the department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, in Rolla, Missouri, USA, explain how knowledge management systems (KMS) can be critical in capturing, retaining and communicating project results and staff knowledge. They can prevent knowledge drain and provide training as "lessons learned" following specific occurrences and the resolution of particular problems the staff face.

The team has focused on the development of a KMS using social network analysis (SNA) to see how this combination might improve methods for organizing and sharing knowledge within a large government healthcare organization. They identified the key people involved using a narrative approach to interview in focus groups formed from those who were early adopters of process improvement methods. This allowed them to understand how changes to the work environment and procedures were perceived. The results from this preliminary work then allowed the team to devise a Likert-style questionnaire, named for American administrator and organizational psychologist Rensis Likert who worked at the US Department of Agriculture in the 1940s. This questionnaire was then given to all users to help the team assimilate a broad perspective on how social networking affects knowledge sharing.

They performed a social networking mapping and analysis to characterize the relationships between the various players and the knowledge links between them. They found that improvements could be made if individuals identified by many members of staff were to form a tight, core, network of their own. This would rapidly increase the ability to disseminate information on projects because this core of individuals would all have many people in their own networks.

They also found that improvements in KMS abound if the "early adopters" also form a core network as they could disseminate new ideas much more rapidly too. An additional conclusion from the work is that if technical assistance is provided early this better facilitates the creation of connections for sharing information and networking opportunities. The team adds that as with education, a higher level of engagement and stimulation makes the system that much easier for the personnel involved to benefit from the information in the system.

"While these recommendations apply specifically to this healthcare organization, these recommendations are applicable for improving knowledge sharing in any large organization regardless of industry," the team concludes.
