McMaster Word Congress on Intellectual Capital and Innovation
Okay, with this, my first post of the year, I am back in the blogosphere 
Back in 2003, I studied for 3 months at the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management as an MBA exchange student. In that time, I swapped a course so I could study Knowledge Management at the Michael G. DeGroote’s School of Business, the management school of McMaster University, Hamilton under Professor Nick Bontis. And it was because of that course that I heard of McMaster’s World Congress, which caught my attention because of the stream on Intellectual Capital and Innovation.
Innovation and Intellectual Capital are central to the concerns of every CEO in the world. Knowledge Management is recognized by the Economist as a core enabler of those goals. And I personally have solid conviction in the case for wikis and web 2.0 to radically impact how companies grow their intellectual capital base and to innovate.
This year the congress has three streams:
- 9th World Congress on Intellectual Capital and Innovation
- 4th World Congress on Corporate Governance
- 1st World Congress on Strategic Business Valuation
Here’s the agenda: http://worldcongress.mcmaster.ca/2007/agenda.pdf
I plan to do at least a couple of write-ups during the next three days. I am in Hamilton from Weds-Friday. I’ll be staying at the Staybridge Suites at 111 Market Street.
If your coming along, I look forward to meeting with you: if you are there, and a blogger, do get in touch!
