MANAGING KNOWLEDGE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD
A Seminar with Hubert Saint-Onge -- Delivered Live via the InternetSept 9, noon – 12:30 - Online Introduction and Survey of Member Interest (no charge)
Sept 21, noon – 1:15 - Online Seminar ($75)APEGGA, in collaboration with the CEO Quality Network, is providing an opportunity to use the Internet to receive further professional development. Our first session is on the topic of Knowledge Management - led by one of North America's most noted experts Hubert Saint-Onge.
The Topic: As organizations start to compete more and more on the basis of Knowledge, they realize that many of their corporate systems and approaches are woefully inadequate for the challenge. Knowledge flows electronically around the world in seconds and Knowledge Networks are now more powerful than organizational position or status. Organizations that marshal their resources through "Knowledge" must have an approach that emphasizes and manages human and intellectual capital.
Learning Objectives: What is Knowledge Management?, Why is this important?, Is this just another management fad?, What approaches work best?, What are some of the key issues?, Where do we start?
Our Globally Recognized Expert: Hubert Saint-Onge has been described as Canada's answer to Peter Drucker. Fortune Magazine described him as a leader in the field of levering knowledge capital and featured his successes.
Hubert has developed a comprehensive strategy for building organizational and corporate capability through Knowledge Management. His insights have helped illuminate thousands of people around the world.
Sponsors The CEO Quality Network is operated by Instigo - an online learning company that is dedicated to providing the best professional development sessions via the Internet. The CEO Quality Network is guided by leading CEOs and is dedicated to having the best management development sessions available on the Internet
This event will use an award winning technology called CyberSessions.

Topic: Keeping the Lights OnTransAlta recognizes the importance of electricity to the consumer. That’s why we’ve committed significant resources to manage the year 2000 issue. You’ve probably heard a great deal about Y2K and its potential to disrupt information systems and business operations globally. For the electric power industry, a huge effect was required due to the widespread use of electronic technology and the complexity of an interconnected power grid.
TransAlta's Focus is on keeping the power system and internal busines processes intact. The scope of the project is company-wide, and includes control and automation systesm used throughout our operations.
By June 30th, TransAlta had fixed or replaced and tested all major systesm that generate and deliver elecricity, meeting the standard set by the North American Reliability Council. Further testing has been done at all gnerating plants where clocks were advanced to Dec. 31, 1999 and monitored as they successfull passed through critical Y2K dates. TransAlta's generating plants continue to operate in the year 2000 today.
TransAlta is working with key customers, suppliers and business partners to minimize the risk of unexpected events. We have contingency plans in place to restore service quickly in the unlikely event of a year 2000-related power outage.
