| 18/02/2012 | PMA + Project Sharing Session In order to get the IGDS qualification, there are two very important gates to pass. First, the PMA (post-module assignments) and second, the PROJECT. For the PMA, students must get a minimum pass mark, or it will lead to a re-take of module. Failed students will take months to re-take and re-do the PMA. Moreover, there is a loss of HKD10,000 on each re-take module. According to past records, the estimated time for students to get the PMA results from the department will be about 4 to 6 months. Therefore, students will have difficulties to access their own abilities and have no idea on how to improve their performance. The PMA sharing session is designed by alumni who were graduated in recent years, they will share with current students on below areas: - Preparation of PMA - Common mistakes on PMA - What is plagiarism, what is the penalties and how to avoid it - How to get high marks in PMA After the presentation, there will be a Q&A session for students who are having further difficulties on PMA. Or, for students who are determined to get distinction. After the PMA session, there will be the PROJECT session. We will go through all the basics of PROJECT and share experience on tackling it. Fees: Free of Charge for IGDS students or IGDSAA members. |

| 26/05/2012 | How to improve Business / Project Performance Seminar on “How to improve Business / Project Performance – Partnership, Risk Management and Value Management” Synopsis: In this world of ever-changing and full of new technologies, the management model in all business should also change to meet the customers’ increasing demands and expectations. As a result of traditional hierarchy management approach, there are many examples in cost and time overruns, and even disputes resolved in the Court. What are the reasons behind? Numerous research studies concluded that lack of team spirit, no sense of crisis and no encouragement of creativities are the key factors. Nowadays, Partnering, Risk Management and Value Management are promoted and being implemented in all major infrastructure projects and some large-scale private developments in order to improve the team and the Project performance. The essences of NEC (New Engineering Contract), which will be fully implemented by the Government of HKSAR in the near future, are also based in these three areas. The speaker will share his experiences and best practices in these areas with the participants and hopes that the sharing will enhance each other's business in a much smoother manner. About the Speaker: Mr. KH Fok fulfilled various roles in the Civil and Foundation engineering industry for nearly 30 years. His thorough grasp of the NEC3 and other forms of contract have helped in his successful management of more than 50 construction projects including the Tin Shui Wai Site Formation, the 155m deep large diameter bored pile in Tung Chung and the piling works for the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. KH is a highly experienced and popular facilitator with an astute understanding of the cross-cultural working environment in Hong Kong, has been facilitating more than 400 workshops in partnering, value management and risk management. KH was appointed by the Housing Authority for a series of partnering workshops and post completion review workshops from 2005 to 2010. He is currently appointed as the partnering lead facilitator for all MTR WIL and SIL(E) contracts and the Risk Manager for some large scale infrastructure projects. |
