DataGovernance

Grateful to have a chat with good friend Herbert Chia #車品覺 in my office. We are both enthusiastic and have like minds on data. Both of us have been in the data industry for many years and have been collaborating with lots of synergy.

We discussed plans for 2023 on how we can collaborate even closer to energize Hong Kong on data transformation from talents, data science to data literacy, data culture and data governance.

Herbert has formed the Hong Kong Data Club to empower more data experts and geeks while I founded Data Literacy Association to empower more business and operation leaders, professionals and executives to speak the language of data. We are perfectly synergetic and complementary to each other with a common goal to grow the data economy in Hong Kong.

Herbert has finished another great book called Data-driven Transformation with Allen Yeung. Thanks for giving me a copy with Herbert’s autograph. Both Andy Kwok and I learned a lot from Herbert’s previous books on data. This new one is in English. Lots of great and new inspiration there.

It was a very fruitful discussion. Stay tuned for our joint collaboration on empowering Hong Kong to be a data leader in 2023 and beyond.

In the meantime, we wish you a healthy, happy and successful Year of the Rabbit. Cheers.

I was impressed by #ICBC Asia in the way how their senior management took #AI, #BigData and #FinTech seriously. Usually, most of the senior leaders will only stay for 30 minutes of a training class and will excuse themselves from it. This time was very different.
All their top and senior management, including Chairman and Executive Director, actively participated in my AI and Big Data class. Guess what? They stayed till the very end of my class and actively participated in the whole day.

Really appreciate their leadership to demonstrate and lead by example. Their top management believe that continuous learning is the way to stay relevant and competitive in their financial services industry. By doing it themselves, it brings culture change to their colleagues.

My class today was on the Power Duo of AI and Big Data. It is a part of the Digital Leadership Series that I designed and led for the Asia Pacific Institute of Business #APIB of the #CUHK Business School.

I started my class today with a clear message to the ICBC team that they need to speak one more language on the top of Chinese and English in the digital economy. That is #Data. In order to be a #AIFirst and #DataDriven bank, everyone in the company has to have basic to advanced #DataLiteracy. Reskilling them on data is not an option but a necessity.

We then explained the AI and #MachineLearning technologies, business models and data monetization concepts to them. We also explored new AI applications in #FinancialServices and #DataGovernance with them. “Seeing Is Believing It”. I invited Patrick Tsoi, a veteran in #DataScience to use real data to demonstrate the power of Big Data in financial services. Thank you Patrick, ICBC team and CUHK team.

It is just a good start for the #DigitalTransformation for ICBC Asia. It is a journey and we are happy to contribute along with the team.
