Construction Industry Council - Annual Report 2024

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY COUNCIL 140 OPERATIONAL REVIEW Recognition from 2024 HKMA Quality Award C-SECT coordinated the CIC’s participation in the 2024 HKMA Quality Award. The CIC was awarded the Excellence Award for demonstrating organisational excellence in total quality management, contributing to the sustainable success of the construction industry in Hong Kong. With the achievement of this prestigious award, the CIC remains committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and continuously improving CIC services. Improving Stakeholder Relationship The Stakeholder Relationship Management System was revamped to further optimise the management of appointment records of various entities under the CIC, providing a more holistic view of appointment records and facilitating more efficient reporting. The improved system has significantly enhanced CIC’s ability to manage stakeholder relationships effectively. Way Forward In 2025, C-SECT will persist in its supportive roles for the Council, the Executive Committee, and the CIC Fellows, emphasising the enhancement of secretarial service quality and the maintenance of high corporate governance standards within the CIC. To enable the Council to concentrate on strategic development directions, C-SECT will assist in reviewing Corporate Governance. Additionally, C-SECT is currently organising an orientation for new Council Members and plans to publish the bilingual CIC 2025 Work Plans in early 2025. 2024 HKMA Quality Award Updates on the CIC Fellows C-SECT continued to provide staunch support to the CIC Fellows and committed to operating initiatives of the CIC Fellows including the CIC Members cum Fellows Visit (MFV) Programme and the CIC Fellows Sharing. Three MFV visits to various CIC premises or facilities were held in 2024 covering the HKIC Sheung Shui Campus (SSC), the CIC-Zero Carbon Park together with the Construction Innovation and Technology Application Centre, and the HKIC Kowloon Bay Campus (KBC). The valuable improvement suggestions made by the visiting groups helped to enhance the operation of various departments or business units and also contributed to strengthening the governance and service quality of the CIC. Four CIC Fellows Sharing sessions were conducted on HKIC campuses in 2024. The sharing sessions aimed to provide HKIC students with the opportunity to learn from the experiences and insights of the CIC Fellows who have made significant contributions to the construction industry. The first sharing session was conducted at KBC with Ms. Eliza WONG as the guest speaker, followed by sharing sessions conducted at SSC with Ir CHAN Chi-chiu and Ir Rocky POON respectively, and at KBC with Sr YU Kam-hung. The CIC Fellows would continue to contribute to the holistic development of HKIC students through such sessions. In addition, in the Annual Event of the CIC Follows, the CIC Fellows enjoyed the sharing from tech ventures in the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks (HKSTP) and a guided tour to another tech venture located in HKSTP.
