Broadening global horizon and building up rich friendship(9)

Broadening global horizon and building up rich friendship

Thanks to precious friends, I carved enormous valuable memories deep in my heart. In some way, more than EWKLP curriculum itself, from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate spending 3 months with 19 wonderful and splendid friends. 

Looking back on, there are things which I hope to be improved or fixed in the near future. For example, I still can’t fully understand why students have to submit a key learning report per each class. Some class lasted only 2 or 3 hours and contents were not clear as well. 

Under this circumstance, requiring a key learning report is asking too much. Students may have strong temptation of cooking up stories. Additionally, a couple of outdoor activities such as visits to Swap Meet and Honolulu Zoo were way from expectation. 

Knowledge Network is Power(10)

'Global Mando', Knowledge Network is Power

One of the distinguished aspects of the Mando’s knowledge management is the unique performance evaluation indexes. Mando came up with its own evaluation tools which measure how much knowledge management contributed to the corporate performance.

Starting in 2006, Mando designated knowledge asset assessment and management system as the top priority of CKO (Chief Knowledge Officer). Consequently, Mando set up the overt goal and evaluated the performance of knowledge management, which brought the active participation of the employee and never-ending commitment of the management.

On top of that, Mando has changed the corporate culture so that employees can freely use the community of practice into works. For example, through community of practice activities, employees define what Mando’s core competency is in terms of competitive advantage and recreate core knowledge. 

Additionally, in pursuit of global communities of practice between oversea investors and partners, Mando widens knowledge management activities even outside the company.
