(Mainland China) Great Learning Attitude

By

Just finished a 2 days intensive class on “Strategic Management * Digital Transformation” for a group of elite executives in mainland China. Really appreciate their great learning attitude.

In particular, the excellent quote that one of my students showed in her photo – “今天不学习，明天变垃圾”. It means that, “If we don’t learn today, we will become garbage tomorrow.”

Though I had to conduct the class on Zoom from Hong Kong, all my students gathered physically in Shenzhen and engaged well with me. It worked fine and was much better for individual student to login in Zoom separately. You may want to try this setting.

Excellent teaching and learning experience in this weekend. Thank you so much for my students’ active participation and the amazing technologies.

(Hong Kong) InnoPreneur Forum: F&B Technology under the New Normal 

By

The 2nd episode of our #FoodTech Series was done today in #HKPC. It is a part of our #Innopreneur Forum Series. It aims to bring leaders from Hong Kong to share their experiences to use #Innovation & #Technology to empower their business & solve problems. #SMEs can learn from them to accelerate their #DigitalTransformation.

Today, we had 4 leaders on my panel to share their experiences. Really appreciate their contribution.
Ryan Lai #Foodpanda
Jason C. #和田便當 Wada Bento
Calvin Tse #金記控股
Polly L. #Xero

Here are my key takeaways:
1. Pick the right staff with a passion for transformation to lead innovation projects.

2. Benchmark units with innovation & those who are behind, reward those who have tried.

3. Collaboration with #ecosystem is in fact a key competitive advantage especially sharing & integrating data to co-create values for customers.

4. Make use of algorithms and big data to drive customer experience and engagement

5. Patience is vital as digital transformation takes longer than we planned but we have to start now or it is too late.

More…

Please refer to https://lnkd.in/gHMn3HV on the 1st episode of our Food Tech forum. Our 3rd forum will be on #MarketingTech in July. Stay tuned. Thanks HKPC Karen F. Marius Chow Kylie Lau & others to make this happen.

By

The 3rd Annual Digital Transformation Award called #鼎革奖 #Dingge is open for application. It is organized by #HarvardBusinessReview #HBR, #TsinghuaUniversity #清华大学 Institute for Global Industry #IGI, and #SAP.

For the first 2 years, the Award only accepted applications from mainland #China. Great companies from different industries joined and shared their #DigitalTransformation experience.

The good news is that it will accept applications from #HongKong and #Taiwan this year. For Hong Kong companies, it is a good platform to learn more about how Chinese and multinational companies have been doing digital transformation in the mainland. It is also a great opportunity to build the brands and networks of the participating HK companies in the mainland market.

I am so gratitude and honoured that I will be representing Hong Kong to be one of the judges for this award. I encourage more Hong Kong companies to apply for this award to share our experience and learn more from others.

Please find out more and apply for this award on or before Aug 31, 2021. See you there.

(Hong Kong) 中小企數字化升級轉型網絡分享會

By

#SMEs are keen on picking up technologies but don’t have confidence on it. I had a chance to share my experience with the SMEs in a forum on #SME #Digitalization. It was an interactive discussion and the SMEs asked quite a lot of sensible questions. Fortunately, we could do it in a hybrid mode with #f2f and #online participants.

One of the questions from the particpants was which technology they should start with. My answer was that starting with a customer pain point and then look for new ways to solve it. If #technology helps, then use it. #Empathy on customers is the key for any successful business for many decades and it has no difference in today’s #DigitalEconomy.

Thanks for Hong Kong Commerce and Industry Associations #HKCNIA and #IOTHK to invite me to share my experience. I have talked about some of the key insights from my book #數碼力大提升 and gave a few of the books to the participants. #DBS #PAOB #HKPC also shared their experiences how to help SMEs on #DigitalTransformation and #Cybersecurity.

Heartfelt thanks to #全港各區工商聯 #香港物聯網 Wilson Chong and Sam Wu for organizing such a great forum.

(Hong Kong) How to Prepare Yourself to Suit for Digital Transformation?

By

#DigitalTransformation is on the top of the list for many leaders across different industries. How #HR should formulate their digital workforce to suit for this transformation? How individuals should prepare themselves to become marketable talents in the #DigitalEconomy? I have shared my views with #CTgoodjobs HR Guru recently.

I also used my journey as an example when I started my #innovation and #technology #career 30 years ago in the #SiliconValley. Hope that gives you some inspiration no matters you are HR professionals, IT and non IT executives, #enterpreneurs and certainly bosses.

(Hong Kong) Secret Skills of Today’s Digital Leaders – HKPC’s Sharing

By

I have experienced a #LearningOrganization in Hong Kong today. #HKPC 香港生產力促進局 runs an internal forum every month to gather all colleagues together to learn relevant topics from external and internal experts. I love the tag #growth in the amazing new work space in HKPC. Great #culture!

Today, it was my honour to be invited by HKPC to share my view on #FutureSkills. Over 300 colleagues participated. Thanks Mohamed Butt Karen F. Marius Chow for their arrangement and their #talents #leadership at HKPC.

Top three future skills in my view are:
1. #DigitalLiteracy
2. #Intrapreneurship
3. #Ecosystem #Collaboration

These skills are the secret sauce of today’s digital leaders including #TechGiants, #Unicorns and even #incumbents who have transformed successfully. More importantly, they have democratized these skills to every single colleague, tech and non-tech, in their companies.

I have talked about these skills and how they helped individuals and leaders in their #DigitalTransformation in my book #數碼力大提升。Read on..
