The 2nd Cohort of DLEP Programme in CEBHK

By

Once again, users at all levels across departments demonstrated that they can make good use of data to create real impact to their customers and companies. We witnessed it once more in the China Everbright Bank Hong Kong Branch #CEBHK today.

Colleagues from different front, middle and back offices at CEBHK have gone through our Data Literacy Empowerment Programme #DLEP organized by Hong Kong Institute of Bankers #HKIB and OpenCertHub Academy #OCHA in the last few months. This was the 2nd cohort already at CEBHK. They were required to do a team project to pick a pain point in the company and use data to tackle the problem.

Today, they presented their projects to the CEBHK’s senior management Nancy Wu, Stephen Chang, Fanny Chan, Carrie Leung #HKIB, Dr. Victor Ng and myself from #OCHA. It was really impressive on not just the business impact created from their data initiatives but also the cross-team collaboration. Thank you so much for the team’s effort and the support from all senior management of CEBHK and Carrie.

In the last few months, Victor, Patrick Tsoi and I have provided a series of data literacy training, shared industry best practices, conducted hands-on workshops and provided mentorship for their team projects to the participants. We are so grateful to see that teams today can apply them so well in solving their real problems. From mindset, skillset to everyday use of data is our goal and we have seen this happening in CEBHK.

Special thanks to Fanny, Elaine and their teammates for their effort and trust to my team from the day 1 of our collaboration. Look forward to co-creating even more impact and values to CEBHK throughout our data literacy empowerment journey at CEBHK.

My First Class In The Year Of The Rabbit

By

My first class in the Year of the Rabbit was a demo class for CUHK EMBA. Really felt warm to see so many knowledge seekers f2f in our classroom. Good thing was that we kept it a hybrid mode where hundreds attended it online in parallel. That is our new normal for the future so more people can learn together even though they are still working or back home with their families.

In my capacity of CUHK EMBA Associate Director and Founding Chairman of Data Literacy Association, I talked about “Stay ahead of Your Conpetition: Treat Data as Your 2nd Business Language”. My key message is that business leaders need to use data daily as how they use English and Chinese for effective and compelling communication. Data is the Voice of our Customers and it is business through data monetization. Business users need to not just be data literate but also treat it as your competitive edge. Own it yourselves instead of just getting help from IT and Data teams. Building a sustainable data culture and empowering every employee with high Data Literacy are the secret sauce of leading enterprises in today’s Digital Economy.

Thanks for my EMBA student Chris So to have shared his learning experience as well as Rendy Ng. Appreciate all participants to have joined our session last night. Thanks to my EMBA colleagues to organize it as well Professor Pong Yuen, Howard Lam, Chun So, Ken Lin and many others.

HKIB Spring Lunch 春茗 for the Year of the Rabbit

By

What a way to start the Year of the Rabbit with most of the bankers in Hong Kong! Thanks Hong Kong Institute of Bankers to organize such a great Spring Lunch 春茗 today in the Grand Hyatt Hotel. We used to have many CNY spring lunches or dinners in the banking industry but it was gone zero in the Covid period. We all enjoyed the f2f gathering again.

Appreciate the effort from Carrie Leung, Philip Kam and their teammates of #HKIB. Also, thanks to the great leadership from Mr David Kwok. Great to meet and have a chat with Legco Councillor (Financial Services) Hon Ronick Chan JP there as well.

As a strategic partner of HKIB on our Data Literacy Empowerment Programme or DLEP, we were so grateful to have a table there to host friends and partners of OpenCertHub Academy. Really feel warm to see many friends there and thanks for their presence in our table Kenny Au, Doris Tong, Barry Chan, Jacob Wai, FRM, FFA FIPA, FCMA, CSDP, MHKCS, LLM, MBA, 鄭嘉泓, Sunny Cheung, Patrick Khong, Jack NG, Edmund Lam and certainly my teammates Andy Kwok and Victor Ng. Also grateful to meet many friends in person and with joy Fanny Chan, Cheng Burton, Charlotte Wong, Michael Leung, Sammy Ho, Angela Lee, Ryan Fung and many more. It was cold outside but we had a warm gathering. Thank you.

HairCoSys Spring Dinner for the Year of Rabbit

By

“Spring Dinner 春茗” is back. In our Chinese New Year #CNY tradition, companies will organize Spring Dinners to host their colleagues, close customers and partners, at the beginning of the lunar year. It aims to kick off a new year and welcome all their colleagues back to work after their CNY holiday. Unfortunately, because of the Covid, most of the companies haven’t done it for the last three years. In the Year of the Rabbit, most companies have started doing it. We are really pleased to have all these back.

Thanks 黃創安 of HairAgain 髮再生 Haspero 桂圓美 and Michael Wong of HairCoSys to invite me to join their Spring Dinner. We all had fun with professional artists and their colleagues to sing good songs, experience sharings, lucky draws, etc. Hong Kong local start-up, XOXO Beverages, was there to serve personalized cocktails to us. Their innovation was not just an ordering system. We can mix and match different ingredients for the cocktails ourselves through their app and a spider chart shows the result of the mix. And the robot makes it for you. That was the green drink in my photo with Mr. Wong. What an innovation! Thanks XOXO Beverages.

It is my first Spring Dinner in the Year of the Rabbit. I will have many more to come in the coming weeks. Good news is that we can see friends and partners f2f in great atmosphere. The bad news is that I have to be on a serious diet after all these to lose some weight after taken all these tasty food. Enjoy your Spring Dinners. I’ll see you in some of those.

Both Ivan Ng and I were grateful to be advisors of HairCoSys. It is so impactful and meaningful to use AI to add values to a very successful traditional leader like Hair Again. Let’s use #innovation and #technology to transform more incumbent companies to stay relevant in today’s digital age.

Best HR Awards 2022

By

Congratulations to all the winners of the Best HR Awards 2022 organized by CTGoodJobs. Grateful being one of the judges and speakers for the Awards again. My OpenCertHub Academy team fully supported the ceremony this year. Thanks Vivienne Wong, Shirley Pi, William Ho, Reo Lam and their teammates to organize such a great award ceremony. We enjoyed our great collaboration and teamwork with the CTGoodJobs team.

I particularly appreciate this Awards because it has pioneered quite a few award categories to encourage HR leaders to cultivate digital transformation and innovation initiatives and talent to their organizations.

In this year, Data Literacy Association #DaLa www.DaLaHK.org , which was founded by a number of data leaders and I to nurture data culture in large to small organizations, jointly with CTGoodJobs created a new category called Data Literacy Award. It aims to encourage establishing data culture and enabling pervasive use of data in organizations to unleash the power of data to every employee. Congratulations to The Bank of East Asia #BEA to receive the 1st ever Grand Award of this category in Hong Kong. Really appreciate the great team effort from their FinTech, Data and Training and Development teams. Congratulations Stephen L. Kenny Au, and Doris Tong. My OpenCertHub teammates are so fortune to collaborate with the BEA team to empower their colleagues at all levels of the bank to speak the language of data.

Also happy for many HR leaders in town like Fanny Chan from China Everbright Bank Hong Kong #CEBHK, Eliza Ng #HKPC, Edmund Lam #FubonBank, Derek Wu #LKK, and many others for their amazing achievement. Also good to see young leaders like CY Chan #ECHealthCare, Bobo Wong, Michelle Chan #Microsoft, Mingo Tsang #Bowtie and more. They are with bright minds and our future as well.

As I mentioned in my talk on “Data Literacy – Build Future-proof Workforce with Second Business Language”, Digital Transformation not only needs digital experts but also HR experts as change management and culture play a pivot role in its success. Teamwork between digital teammates and HR teammates are super important. Had a very good chat with Kandy Lui #iHRM and learnt a lot from her on the HR profession and it’s latest development. Also learnt from José Carlos Bezanilla on how to make Hong Kong a Great Place to Work #GPTW.

DLEP Programme @Bank of East Asia

By

My belief is that empowering people to do fishing is always better than serving them fish all the time. Our data and IT professionals have been doing a great job to help busness users to prepare reports and analytics so that the users can make better decisions, actions and even predictions. In the highly competitive envirnoment in the digital economy, doing this is simply not good enough to stay relevant.

That’s why we OpenCertHub Academy #OCHA www.ochacademy.com, a passionate and experienced team on data science and data culture, design our Data Literacy Empowerment Programme #DLEP to empower leaders and users at all levels across the whole organizations in major industries, such as financial services, property, transportation, utility, retail and so on, to speak the 2nd business language – Data. What it means is that everyone communicates, argues and wins with data as a habit in their daily conversation, meetings and tasks. We understand customers, seize opportunities and tackle problems through the smart use of data.

We aim to nurture and change the data culture of the organizations through training, data forums with industry experts and startups, cross-team data projects, community and more. Really grateful and thankful to see BEA to have a visionary leadership to go along with us in this journey of data culture transformation. We cultivated a group of Citizen Data Scientists (CDS) as the change agents to drive data culture change in their respective departments. We also have trained over hundreds of Data Citizens (DC) who now have the data mindset to use data more often in their daily jobs. The journey continues and more to come.

We thank for the trust from BEA senior management to us and have us as their trusted companion in the Data Literacy Empowerment journey. Really appreciate the collaboration and teamwork from BEA’s Data Team Kenny Au, FinTech & IT Team Stephen L. and Training & Development Team Doris Tong, and their bright teammates. Thank you! With their effort and support, we did build a very solid foundation and mutual trust to grow better and faster in 2023 and beyond. Look forward to sharing more experience with you all next year.

MIT Prgram Completion: “Data Monetization Strategy: Creating Value Through Data”

By

Finally completed the “Data Monetization Strategy: Creating Value Through Data” program organized by MIT Sloan School of Management 美國麻省理工大學斯隆商學院. It was one of the best data strategy programs in the recent few years. Even I have solid experience and background on AI and Big Data, I found that this program provides very relevant practices to monetize our data asset.

Big thanks to Dr. Barb Wixom‘s sharing and effort to put together this insightful program for us. My classmates or learning partners were from all over the world but we have a common goal to find the best way to monetize data. We formed a cross-country, cross-company and cross-function community and had lots of forums in the program to exchange views on relevant topics. That was one of the best parts in the program.

The course was not that easy as we might think of. It took me a few months to go through a series of modules and assignments. However, it is worth spending effort on this course out of my already-packed schedule.

The program had quite strict requirement to grant the certification to the participants and really tested my knowledge and persistence. My drive is that we are not just learning a new technology. To stay relevant in today’s digitally-disruptive world, we got to have the mindset to keep learning and innovating. Grateful that I did it and was granted the certificate.

My key takeaway is that it takes more than data and technology to monetize data effectively. Democratizing data literacy to everyone at all business levels and empowering them with data mindset are critical for data monetization success. That is what my team and I at OpenCertHub Academy have been empowering quite a few enterprises in Asia to do so.

If you would like to know more about this MIT program, here is a good video for it https://lnkd.in/gVZcdnuq

Enjoy learning and innovating!
