About the Academy
The Academy is a non-profit- making organisation, which aims to be a leading lifelong learning community for professionals and citizens in Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific Region.
In view of changing information and computing technologies, nowadays, we live in a fast- changing world. Management guru, Peter Drucker, has predicted the rise of knowledge society. Hence, learning and acquisition of knowledge are of utmost importance. Lifelong learning has, therefore, become a key for citizens to enter the age of knowledge.
To meet the changing societal needs coupled with diverse environmental issues, developing economic and business models, we need to embrace lifelong learning, which helps to raise our horizons for better decision-making, and to nurture our problem-solving skills. We should aim to integrate work, life and knowledge – enhancing knowledge capital, productivity and quality of life. To prepare for our future, we need to develop critical thinking skills, to embrace spirit of innovation, to improve communication skills, to hone leadership skills, to work harmoniously in teams, and to grasp technological trends – to ride the turbulent market forces.
To master our challenges ahead, the Academy aims to offer lifelong learning programmes to help business executives and the community. We aim to nurture business leaders and citizens with professional and general knowledge in cross-disciplinary manner, at various levels – to nurture talents who embrace innovation, and enhance competitiveness of Hong Kong.
