Knowledge and Innovation are the new forces of our Economy
Singapore is one city that is driven by the knowledge economy. It is a city in which both the private and the public sectors value knowledge, nurture knowledge, spend money on supporting knowledge dissemination & discovery (i.e. learning and innovation) and harness knowledge to create high value-added products and services created . To stay ahead of the competition and drive advantage enterprises must embrace technology, capital, knowledge and talent to create opportunities for people to participate and contribute to the value chain and economic survival.
Within organizations, knowledge workers tend to be closely aligned with the organization's growth prospects. In management they come up with new strategies; in R&D and engineering they create new products and in marketing they package products in ways that appeal to customers. Without knowledge workers there would be no new products and services, and no growth. To be successful enterprises must “stay ahead of the curve, ” thinking beyond the paradigms of the past, operating within high performance cultures and developing the agility to new technology advancements and changing business models. Management must cultivate environments for this to happen. In this unique conference, IKMS brings together a network of government, private sector, institutions and civil society to think about the consequences of the knowledge economy on its critical resource, its knowledge workers.
Together we will explore and how to respond as individuals, as enterprises and as a society. Join us for presentations from a carefully selected panel of speakers, practical case studies, dialogues to explore ways to foster and cultivate a climate for knowledge workers (and their companies) to stimulate innovation and stay ahead in the new economy.
