ASQ InfVoices – Knowledge Transfer Through Technology “Social Media”

The July Topic of ASQ Influential Voice was a guest post by Manu Vora (Chairman and President of Business Excellence, Inc USA) and topic named "The Gift of Knowledge Transfer Through Technology". Mr. Manu Vora recommended using simple technology such as “Google Hangout on Air” and concluded that knowledge can be transferred globally leveraging technology in the 21st century. Finally, he raised the following question for discussion.
i) What kind of resources are you using in your organization or your personal life to share information?
ii) Do you experiment with new platforms or do you prefer traditional means of transferring knowledge?
For HKSQ, we established LinkedIn Group in 2009, Facebook Group & Twitter Group in 2010. But the twitter is not so popular in Hong Kong.

 

My personal life used “Blog” to share quality related activities such as seminar, visit, study mission and conference through HKSQ LinkedIn & Facebook platform. I had written an ASQ Influential Voice article on 24 July 2013 named “My Journey of Social Media” and the distribution strategies mentioned as follows:
i) Links in HKSQ website and ASQ Influential Voice website
ii) News posted into the blog and distributed to members / quality professionals through my own email list (about two thousands email)
iii) Blog article posted in Social Media such as HKSQ Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn discussion groups.

I prefer to share knowledge using both new and traditional platform. Seminar should be held physically because we have chance to discuss face to face but distributing the seminar content, promotion and review articles would be used social media because of their penetration power.
