Highlight:

In collaboration with the PolyU SPEED Alumni Association (SAA), HKMS will present a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshop led by Dr. Roger So, a distinguished expert in mediation and dispute resolution. This program focuses on building practical skills for resolving building management disputes, while also demonstrating how mediation principles extend beyond industry into everyday life. For the first time, the CPD program will be delivered in a hybrid format, supporting both live and online participation to broaden accessibility and engagement. By bringing together professionals in the field alongside master's and bachelor's students from PolyU SPEED, the program creates a unique platform for cross generational and cross sector interaction.
Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the nature and scope of building management disputes in Hong Kong.

  • Learn effective communication and negotiation techniques to de escalate conflicts.

  • Explore mediation strategies that foster collaboration among stakeholders.

  • Gain insights into legal and regulatory frameworks relevant to property disputes.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Roger So for sharing his expertise and to the PolyU SPEED Alumni Association for their collaboration in making this CPD program possible. This initiative underscores our commitment to equipping both professionals and students with the tools to resolve disputes constructively, while also promoting mediation as a life skill that enhances resilience, empathy, and harmony in everyday interactions.
