The Deputy Commissioner of Police (Management), Mr Ma Wai-luk today (February 21) led a Force delegation to receive the award at the Forum on "Raising Productivity through Knowledge Management (KM)" cum Global and Hong Kong MAKE Awards Presentation Ceremony 2013.
This is the first time a Hong Kong organisation has been recognised as a "Global MAKE Award" winner and the Force is the only police service named amongst this year's winners. In addition, the Force is also the winner of the "2013 Hong Kong MAKE Award" and "2013 Asian MAKE Award".
The MAKE Award is an annual competition organised by the Teleos and Knowledge Management Innovation and Research Centre of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to recognise the achievements of outstanding enterprises and organisations in successfully implementing corporate-wide KM programmes.
The 2013 Global MAKE Award adjudicating panel comprised senior executives of "Global Fortune 500" companies and KM experts.
During the Ceremony, Senior Superintendent Dr Cheng Tak-ming delivered a presentation on the Force KM practices.
Dr Cheng pointed that the implementation of KM in the Force greatly enhanced organisational capacity and performance, which was one of the keys to its success in keeping Hong Kong as one of the safest and most stable societies in the world.
