Just finished conducting a 4 days intensive and fruitful EMBA course on Innovation and Intrapreneurship Management for CUHK. On one hand, I am exhausted. On the other hand, I am very grateful as 83 top executives from the mainland China participated my class on Zoom even under the pandemic situation. Engaging 83 executive students for 4 full days on Zoom (plus conducted in Putonghua) was not easy as you could imagine but we did have a joyful and valuable learning experience together.
Not only the number of students has broken my record of teaching EMBA class, the quality of the students were very impressive. They came from different industries like property, professional services, design, manufacturing, engineering, technology and even agriculture. At the beginning, I had some doubt on how much they wanted to learn innovation and how much effort they would put on a course as they are all busy and uprising bosses and top executives. To my surprise, they were serious and really put lots of effort to learn. Really appreciate their passion and perservance to learn.
Apart from going through core concepts and models, we learned corporate innovations and intrapreneurship by exploring 10 influential and inspiring internationl and Chinese cases. We discussed, debated and learned through this process. It was also my honour to have three elite leaders as my guest speakers to share how they innovate as a startup (Sum Wong from #EventX), a tech giant (Jacqueline Chong from #Amazon#AWS) and a traditional enterprise (Damien Wu#ChinaChem). We all learned a lot from them. Really appreciate it.
Now, I need to relax a bit and get a good sleep. Enjoy the Easter Holiday!

I had a joyful and meaningful evening with my City University of Hong Kong (CityU) Doctor of Business Adminstration (DBA) alumni and learning partners from cohort 2006 to 2021. I shared my experience to prepare, write and publish a business case on a global basis.
I am so grateful that I have successfully published my case for #HSBC in the world’s largest business case publisher – Ivey Publishing. The case is now globally accessible by all major business schools worldwide through #Ivey Publishing and #Harvard Business Publishing networks.
The topic of my case is – HSBC: Embracing Open Innovation for SMEs. Please find out more here https://lnkd.in/eYUHfTFp. Thank you so much for HSBC teams, my mentor Professor Hubert Pun and many others to fully support this case and make this dream of mine realized.
My drive to share my experience with my fellow DBA friends was that I would like to encourage them to write more cases so that our valuable experience from Hong Kong can be shared with our new generations as well as all executives worldwide.
We do not have enough local cases for our next generation to learn from. Also, not too many leaders in other countries know our Hong Kong best practices and stories. If every DBA, not just DBA from CityU but also PolyU, HKUST, etc. writes a case, we will have hundreds of cases known to the world in a few years. Let’s action, learning partners.
Appreciate all my learning partners joined my sharing session on site and online tonight. We should do more and I will be the audiences of yours next. Thanks Queenie from CityU and Candi from my team to make all arrangements.
