Visit Dr Edmund Lee at Gold Peak Technology Group (GP)

By

Happy to visit Dr. Edmund Lee at the Gold Peak Technology Group today. Edmund has started a new journey in #GoldPeak after serving as CEO of Hong Kong Design Centre for years.

Gold Peak is not just a king in the battery market worldwide, but also an elite leader in the sound systems and technologies. Famous brands like #KEF #CELESTION just name a few. My visit and tour today really opened my eyes on how advanced and how far the quality, design and engineering of the #sound systems go especially their #speakers. Impressive! https://www.goldpeak.com/

Learned a lot from Edmund on bringing in ESG, Design and Innovation to the Group. With Edmund’s years of experience on product design, innovation and technology, I am sure the Gold Peak Group will reach another peak with his and GP’s C-suite leadership.

We also shared how important for leaders these days to empower everyone in the organization to be data literate. Edmund said, “Who in the world don’t need data literacy these days”. Edmund and his teammates have been changing their data mindset. Rather than just communicating using their expertise, they have also asked and used data to back things up. That really endorsed what we have been doing to empower enterprises in Hong Kong to speak, think and act on #data. Thanks Edmund to endorse our belief.

Look forward to collaborating with him and the Group in particular the crossovers of #ESG, #Design #Digital and certainly #DataLiteracy.

(Hong Kong) The BODW 2021 – “Navigating a New World Order of Electric Vehicles”

By

What car should I buy next? Is that your question too? That was my first question to ask Frederik Gollob, an veteran in automobile industry, in one of the panels in the annual global #BODW conference organized by #HKDC Hong Kong Design Centre 香港設計中心. #GlobalDesignReset is the main theme of BODW this year. Find out more https://2021.bodw.com/en.

Fredrick and I had a very trendy and interesting fireside chat on the crossover of #Design and #Digital. Our topic was “Navigating a New World Order of Electric Vehicles”. Innovative design of the interior and exterior of the new #EV cars, digital empowerment on the car making it not just smart but also connected everything around to create unprecedented experience for our living and working in the city.

We also talked about other interesting topics like the trend of EV. The Empire like #BMW, #Mercedes, is striking back. Traditional leaders will provide more choices and different EV models are expected from all major brands. #Tesla is not their only competitor. Several emerging EV brands #Li, #Nio, #XPeng from China are doing well with great design and digital features. They are also growing aggressively to the global markets. We will see more competitions ahead.

Another good one is that, “Will rich people buy EVs as they need prestigious image and have peer group pressure?”. An analog is that I am wearing a smart watch because of it’s cool, for health and friends community. I am not chasing after Rolex watch. Frederick said that it is getting there as EV car makers are launching high end luxurious cars. Really learnt a lot about #cars and #electrification from Fredrick. Thank you.

Appreciate Eric Yim, Edmund Lee, Dr. Joseph F Wong, Jillian Lee and their great #HKDC teammates to organize such an insightful conference. Thank you for having me as a part of it.

Thanks Thomson Lai AECOM’s Asia Digital Leader for inviting me as a keynote speaker to get the passionate participants even more inspired for the hackathon. I chose the topic – “#Entrepreneurs: From Good to Great”. The participants are all good entrepreneurs already but what could differentiate them from good to great entrepreneurs. Solving the right problems right is the key. Appreciate #AECOMHK organizing such an impactful hackathon for Hong Kong and the great support from Madison Wai of Hill+Knowlton Strategies.

(Hong Kong) TECH & DESIGN Crossover – Panel Sharing in BODW 2020

By

#TECH * #DESIGN Crossover was the main theme of the panel that I moderated for the #BODW 2020. My honour having experienced serial entrepreneurs Jason Chiu and Fred Ngan together with design expert Amy Ip joined my panel today at the #ViuTV Studio in Hong Kong.

My key takeaway to get the best out of Design and Tech to create values for customers was that we need to build and cultivate a team with a diversity of background like Design, Tech, professionals, domain or subject matter experts, and more.

Most importantly, how to make them work together even under lots of challenges and differences. One of the best ways to do that is to leverage on customers as the focal point to validate different ideas and do it as often as we need. That can bring teammates with different views to align and co-create values for the sake of customers.

Well done, team. We all learned a lot from each other tonight.

Appreciate 香港設計中心 Eric Yim Edmund Lee and their teammates to lead and organize such an impressive international conferences with many renowned local and overseas speakers. Not easy for such under the Covid-19. Thank you.

(Hong Kong) How We Can Make Use of Technologies to Save Lives and Do Social Good

By

Thanks for Edmund Lee and his teammates at #HKDC Hong Kong Design Centre to organize this year’s #KODW Knowledge of Design Week with theme on Designing Digital Future. It is a hybrid of virtual and physical conference with renowed #design and #digital experts around the globe as speakers.

Edmund’s team really gave us an excellent example of what the HK Design Centre always empowers us i.e. #CustomerCentricity. I can feel the details and processes that his team has been putting together to run this conference and helping every speaker and panelist in such a difficult period under Covid-19. Well done and appreciate it, team.

My discussion with Romeo Durscher from #DJI was very fruitful. One of the key takeaways for me is how his company connects many experts in #Drone, #AI, #MachineLearning and #BigData around the world through #Crowdsourcing and #SharingEconomy to build innovative models, technologies and applications to solve lots of problems in natural disasters, safety, health, etc.

For all #innovators and #entrepreneurs, while we may make money from our innovations, it is more important how we can make use of technologies to save lives and do social good. Great lesson today. Thanks Romeo.
