Empowering Corporate Leaders and Entrepreneurs: Insights from Fubon Bank’s CUHK Mini MBA Journey

By

Really grateful that we can bring Fubon Bank’s core team back to school to start their CUHK Mini MBA journey. I initiated and designed this CUHK Mini MBA programme a few years ago. We aim to empower the participants, either corporate leaders or startup enterprenurs, with the necessary mindset and skillset in the VUCA*Digital era. Since then, quite a few of corporates and startups have joined the programme.

It has been a great experience on empowering and re-energising corporate leaders and startup entrepreneurs to get them ready to seize emerging opportunities and manage the unprecedented challenges.

The participants take a series of modules on corporate innovation, digital transformation, branding and marketing, leadership and culture, financial management, and some modules tailored for participating corporates, such as, GBA, Regulation and Compilance, Artificial Intelligence. The students need to participate team discussions, discuss case studies, join study trip, and do group projects to apply what they have learned in all the taken modules.

Thanks for the support from the senior management of Fubon Bank especially Edmund Lam for his effort with my colleagues to make this happen.

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.

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

By

#DigitalTransformation is a must for almost every large or small company these days. Most of the failure cases of digital transformation is on the soft side of the journey. The soft side includes #leadership, #culture, #talent and most importantly #ChangeManagement.

I am so grateful to partner with one of the most experienced enterprise transformation leaders in #DigitalEra in Hong Kong, Teddy Liu, to co-create, co-design and co-deliver a course on the soft side of the Digital Transformation. We called the course “Leadership & Workforce Transformation in the Digital Era”. Really appreciate Teddy’s contribution. This course is a part of #CUHK #APIB #DigitalLeadershipSeries designed by a number of #digital experts and myself.

We also invited two top leaders, Stephen Leung #Pfizer and Joe Wan #Tricor in Hong Kong to share their experience in their digital leadership. Special thanks to Stephen and Joe, and look forward to learning from them.

We highly recommend corporate leaders, #HR practitioners, digital transformation professionals, innovation leaders and change agents to join the course. The upcoming class will be on Oct 12 and 13. Be HURRY to enroll if you are interested. More information and enrollment link can be found here.

(Hong Kong) “The Golden 10 Years of Hong Kong Startups”

By

“The Golden 10 Years of Hong Kong #Startups” or “香港初創黃金十年” – That was the main theme of my interview with Hong Kong #ITPro IT PRO, Giant Media 炬傳媒 – a leading IT magazine for #digital and #corporate leaders in Hong Kong. The whole article was published on the latest volume vol 173. https://lnkd.in/g-wj3FDp

I was so grateful to study #ComputerScience and start my career 30 years ago in #SiliconValley in the US.  Then, lots of ups and downs throughout my career. In the interview, I shared my career experience from the US to Asia and from the corporate world to recently startups.

The 1st “5 Golden Years of Hong Kong Startups”:
I have been heavily engaging in the startups ecosystem since I joined Cyberport as the 1st Chief Public Mission Officer. My mission in Cyberport was to cultivate not just over 1,000 startups but also an ecosystem to connect all key stakeholders so new and existing startups can leverage on it to grow.

Glad to see that we have established a vibrant international #ecosystem for our start-ups to grow and for our corporates to co-innovate with in the last 5 years. With the joint effort from the key stakeholders in our ecosystem like #Entrepreneurs, #Investors, #CorporateLeaders, #Incubators, #Professors, #Regulators, #PolicyMakers, #Professionals, and more, we not only have created 10+ #Unicorns for Hong Kong but also have empowered quite a few influential #B2B collaborations.

The 2nd “Golden 5 Years of Hong Kong Startups”:
With the establishment of a competitive startup ecosystem in Hong Kong, we need to leverage and capitalize on this foundation in the next 5 years to grow Hong Kong to be the leading #innovation and #technology hub in the world. We do have 2 big markets, #GBA and #ASEAN, just next door. Let’s join hands to seize these unprecedented opportunities.

As a professor, an entrepreneur, an investor, and advisors to both startups and corporates, I am continuing my effort to contribute, empower and engage with this ecosystem, and further extend it to GBA and ASEAN in coming 5 golden years for HK startups. To find out more, please read my sharing in this issue of ITPRO. Let me know if you cannot access a copy of it.

Special thanks to ITPRO teammates to interview me and put together this edition. I have been lucky having a supportive family and met many great mentors, partners and friends in my career. Appreciate all of you who have helped me grow in my journey.

(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.
