(Hong Kong) Two Mega and Rapidly Growing Markets Nearby Hong Kong

By

#GBA (80+ million people in 11 cities of South China) and #ASEAN (650+ million people in 10 countries of SE Asia) are the two biggest and rapidly growing markets nearby Hong Kong. Enterprises, #SMEs and #Startups in Hong Kong are finding ways to seize these unprecedented opportunities for them.

Today, I was so grateful to have experts on GBA and ASEAN to share their experience in 2 consecutive forums. I moderated one forum on GBA in #SunLife in the morning and moderated another forum on ASEAN in #HKPC in the afternoon.

Appreciate King Leung #InvestHK, Peter Mok #HKSTP, Jennifer Tan #AntGroup, Keith Ip #SFExpress, Dick Fong and Thomson Ho #10Life to share their experience on the ecosystem collaboration in GBA.

Thanks Joseph Chan #AsiaPay, Stanley Sy CCRA #Sanomics, wun chi lam #Spaceship, Sunny Chau #HKTDC, Gary Lam #AsiaCEOCommunity and Sunny Chow from Leading Star Vietnam to share about their market entry strategy to ASEAN, consumer behaviors, partnership models and talents management for ASEAN markets.

Heartfelt thank to Clement Lam, Cynthia Sit, and Alice Chuck #SunLife, Karen F. Marius Chow #HKPC and my #CUHK teammates to make these 2 forums a successful learning opportunity for everyone.

I believe Hong Kong can reach another peak in the next 5 to 10 years by leveraging on #innovation, #entrepreneurship #intrapreneurship and #technology to capture the arising opportunities in GBA and ASEAN. Creating synergy through the collaboration of two regions is critical for our success. That is what I have been working on as well. Let’s add oil 大家加油!

(Hong Kong) Leadership and Workforce Transformation in the Digital Era

By

It was the first time for me to teach under the typhoon signal #3 in my life. Really appreciate all of our executive students’ heart to learn and join our class on <Leadership and Workforce Transformation in the Digital Era> yesterday. It is a part of the #CUHK #APIB <Digital Leadership Series for Executives> programme that I introduced and designed. https://lnkd.in/gU8AzDJ

We had leaders and executives from various industries such as #FinancialServices, #Retail, #Energy, #Pharmaceutical, #Technologies, etc. to join the class yesterday. It indicated that leaders from these industries are keen on learning more about the soft side of digital transformation.

Appreciate Teddy Liu to co-teach this class with me. In fact, Teddy is the master mind of this course. He is an expert on the people side of digital transformation. Teddy shared his experience and wisdom on this subject matter. In my part, I explored a few digital transformation real-life cases with our students.

It was our honour to have Stephen Leung, Country Manager of #Pfizer Hong Kong and Indonesia, to share his wisdom on leadership, people and change management. It was very valuable and insightful. I was also impressed by his way to share his thoughts. He made good use of interesting stories and fantastic analogies.

Thank you, Stephen. I will remember to drink more water H2O. Healthy, Happy and Optimistic. Thank you, Teddy, to empower me and our students to master the change management and talents strategy in the digital era. Appreciate the great effort behind the scene from my CUHK APIB teammates.

One more day to go for this course. We will have another enlightening leader Joe Wan, CEO of #Tricor, to share his wisdom. Stay tuned.

(Hong Kong) Panel Discussion with Elite Digital Leaders @CUHK MBA Alumni Association 

By

Amazing f2f panel discussion today with 5 elite digital leaders. Thanks for Ian Chan #Octopus, Adrian Toy #Google, Kevin Huang #Carousell, Ralph Szeto #AIM & Frankie Ng #Shopify.

We discussed 2 key questions.

1. What are the hurdles of #DigitalTransformation?

2. What are the impacts of the pandemic on Digital Transformation?

My key takeaways are:

1. Sense of urgency is critical to drive change including digital tranformation.

2. Great potential of our #Entrepreneurship were unleashed when people have more time with themselves during the pandemic.

3. Culture is key as political and functional silos causing lots of hurdles without alignment.

4. The pandemic drives not only digital adoption of users but also #CustomerExperience #innovation from the providers.

5. Some great visions of the panelist: Carousell wants to make 2nd hand products as people’s first choice. It brings #Sustainability & #SocialImpact to the society while Shopify aims to be the platform of all commerce at all touchpoints instead of just #Ecommerce.

More..

Appreciate CUHK MBA Alumni Association Alexandra Lo, EMBA and Armstrong Lee & #CUHKMBA and #CUHKEMBA colleagues to make this amazing forum possible. Thanks to all f2f and online participants & their active participation. See you next time.

(Hong Kong) CPA Australia Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey 2020-2021

By

#CPAAustralia has released their annual survey “CPA Australia Asia-Pacific Small Business Survey 2020-2021”. It covers 11 economies in the APAC including Hong Kong.

Thanks for Janssen Chan FCPA (Aust.) & my #CUHKMBA student Carmen Pan to invite Ryan Fung from #PAOB & I to join a forum to discuss about technology adoption & applications in HK based on the survey. Close to 500 participants joined the online forum.

Hong Kong SMEs are behind some Asia’s economy in terms of #eCommerce, #SocialMedia and #Innovation. However, those in HK who used #technology in their business & operation have seen significant growth even under the #Covid19.

Apart on leveraging government funding & support on #SME #Digitalization, SME management should not be afraid of technology & think it is a big investment. In today’s digital world, tools are easier to use & learn and it is affordable. More importantly, it is a mindset change & how we adopt changes.

Technology is a new way to solve customer pain points. Knowing & keeping update on what’s available opening up different ways to solve these problems. Good use of technologies can in fact empower SMEs to beat the big guys with rich supply of traditional asset as proven by the #unicorn.
