Ms Baroness Sue MILLER

President
Instiute of Value Management, United Kingdom

Thank you for notifying me of your conference, with its theme “Why Re-Invent the Wheel?”

I can certainly see a great deal of value in finding ways to steer a course through the perennial issues of managing organisations: solving problems, ensuring all information and expertise needed is present and avoiding loss of time and effort are surely relevant to all. Your programme comprehensively discusses a variety of applications of VM, all achieving clarity in finding the right solution to a given problem.

On behalf of the Institute of Value Management, I congratulate you on the construction of this event and wish you every success.

Congratulations on the holding of the International Value Conference organised in conjunction with the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors to be held on June 2 and 3, 2005 at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Hong Kong.

As seen in the conference programme, your conference organisers have done a wonderful job in providing such an excellent technical programme for conference attendees. It seems that the contents of your conference programme really reflect the challenges which all of us are facing in this global and highly competitive business world. I believe that the application of VM can be widely promoted in Hong Kong and other countries around the world through this event.

I am sure that your interesting conference programme will attract many value practitioners in government and private sectors both domestic and international. I hope that the attendees take advantage of this conference to further improve their knowledge and skills of VM practice. I wish you and all the attendees a successful conference.

Mr Ashok PANDIT

President
Indian Value Engineering Society

I am very pleased to learn about the organisation of the International Value Conference during 2nd & 3rd June 2005 in Hong Kong where VE practitioners from all over the world are expected to share their experience and learning on value engineering.

Ever since its inception in the late 1940s at GE, the concept of value engineering has secured an inimitable place in leading organisations worldwide by establishing itself as a quick and innovative scientific tool to add value to any system’s working & output by crafting the optimum mix of performance and cost. I am sure, such an international meet on value engineering shall further promote this unique discipline world over and provide a wider platform for its participants to reap several benefits from the proceedings scheduled during the 2-day conference.

I take this opportunity to congratulate the organisers and to compliment all participants and also to convey my best wishes for a fruitful interaction.
