Congratulations to my mentee, ex-colleague and good friend, Dr. Tenny Lam, CEO and Co-founder of Grand Rise Technology Limited, on receiving the Excellence in Research Application Award of the 1st ever Hong Kong Innopreneur Awards organised by #FHKI and sponsored by #HSBC.

Really proud of Dr. Lam not just receiving the award but also demonstrating how a corporate leader was successfully transformed to an elite entrepreneur. When Tenny and I worked in the corporate world, he had already demonstrated his #intrapreneurship and #innovativeness. He often brought in new business and ideas to solve tough problems. Well done, Tenny as I always believe your #enterpreneurship. You now found the right path to excel. Add oil.

Dr. Lam received the award from Professor Sun Dong, the Secretary of the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau #ITIB of HKSAR Government today in front of almost all key stakeholders of Hong Kong #Innovation and #Technology #Ecosystem.

Appreciate Rico Lau from LAWSGROUP to introduce and show me and my teammates Andy KwokVictor Ng and Derek Leung from OpenCertHub Academy about the Group’s creativity in various areas. It has really opened our eyes on how a traditional apparel manufacturing leader has successfully transformed themselves and been making a huge impact to the community. Impressive.

LAWSGROUP has turned the traditional buildings in old district Lai Chi Kok into vibrant and popular shopping, dining and entertainment co-creation spaces called “D2 Place” https://lnkd.in/g3MUvnpi with young #enterpreneurs. It empowers many young innovators to test out their products, pivot and scale up to real shops. I can feel the passion from not only the enterpreneurs but also the young customers there. Thank you Rico to have shown us around. I am sure there are a lot more to explore in these spaces and it is still evolving. Really appreciate the team effort from Rico, Leslie FokMiko Cheung and many others from LAWSGROUP to revitalize these spaces, empower #entrepreneurship and made many impossible to possible.

Rico also brought us to the Laws Knitters Studio 羅氏針織工作室 which not only shows the history of knitting but also provides a co-creation space for designers and manufacturers.
Riding on their ecosystem creativity, knitting products now have many varieties as shown on the photos. It can be personalized as well.

When I saw the traditional “#Singer #勝家” sewing home machine, it triggered a lot of memories on how my mom made clothes for me by her own hands from scratch when I was young while the economy has not taken off. Thank you mom and thank you Laws Group to build this studio for our collective memory.

Rico and I exchanged many good ideas on #Innovation#DataLiteracy#MetaVerse#ESG#SocialImpact#Community #Cocreation, and more. Look forward to having even more collaboration with him and his teammates at LAWSGROUP in different areas in the Year of the Rabbit and beyond.

#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.
