Overview
There is a real opportunity for NTU to become the premier centre for KM in Asia. The Singapore Government is recognised internationally for embracing KM, ahead of most countries, especially in Asia. The tie up with CSC puts NTU’s KM programme one step ahead of all other KM programmes in Singapore, whether from NUS, SIM or SMU. We have a great faculty who is passionate about KM and its potential. The biggest challenge is to raise the profile of the programme. Otherwise it will suffer the fate of the Nanyang Business School where the design of the course is great but lacks the profile of the other MBA programmes in Singapore and in the region.
The key is getting NTU itself to become an educational institution that practices KM
- NTU has a lot of intelligent people but as an organisation, it is not intelligent as it does not encourage knowledge reuse
- For example, once the semester is over, we are switched off from online course repository. All the effort put in was gone! Instead we should build up on what has been established and only kill it when it has not been active for 3 months.
