Reviving Offline Conferences: Highlights from Google Cloud Summit Hong Kong 2023

By

Finally, we could physically join the Google Cloud Summit Hong Kong after the 3 years long pandemic. Over thousand of guests attended the event today. The vibrant and engaging atmosphere was very impressive and full of passion. Thanks the great leadership from Kathy Lee and Disaree (DiDi) Wong to make this happen again in Hong Kong.

Today, we have witnessed many new offerings from Google. Needless to say, it was all about AI. Google really makes AI easier for every one from IT to business users. Impressive demos from June Yang on their innovation and applications on Generative AI. It was eye opener for me. Google and several renowed speakers also talked about democratizing data analytics and AI to users at all levels. Data culture again comes to the top of the list.

I delivered a talk in today’s summit on our experience how we collaborated with Google to empower business users in private and public sectors to make use of data every day as their habits through our Data Literacy Empowerment Programme #DLEP. Thanks for Owen Chong Michael Yung and Ricky Lau from Google for their support. More can be found here https://ochacademy.com/.

One after one offline huge conferences have been coming back to Hong Kong. Pumped into friends whom we have not met for years in these occasions. Really felt warm and happy especially seeing old friends Dave Chen, Suk-Wah Kwok, Alex Zhang, Kenny Au, Leo Tsang, CPA, LLM, MSc. Charles Hung, Chris Shum, Eric Or, Charleston Sin, Fuller Yu, Pascal Tse, Allan Wong, Justy Yuen, Derry Fong, Adela Lau and many others.

Also, it is always joyful to see our founding fellows of DaLa – Data Literacy Association #DaLa in any occasions. Today we had Ravel Lai Herman Cheng Stephen L. Andy Kwok Victor Ng Dr. Lana Lo Matthew Chan Jacob Wai, FRM, FFA FIPA, FCMA, CSDP, MHKCS, LLM, MBA Michael Yung, joined the Summit on different capacities.

See you and more in our next event. You are welcome to join our next DaLa event on June 20 and happy hours afterwards. Topic is Power of Data in Driving Sustainability and Operational Resilience. Find out more here:

Digital Strategy and Transformation at MTR: Insights from Elite Digital Leaders in Hong Kong

By

Grateful to have a fruitful discussion with 3 elite digital leaders in Hong Kong and share our experience with a group of senior executives of MTR. Thank you to my panel guests:
Wai-yin Wan #MTR
Matthew Chan #JardineRestaurantGroup
Michael Yung #Google #GoogleCloud

Our main theme was Digital Strategy: Lead and Execute Your Digital Vision. It was really inspiring to many participants including myself indeed.

My 3 key takeaways are:

1. Digital Strategy should be seen as Strategy in Digital Era; Digital Transformation should be thought as Transformation in Digital Era; and certainly Digital Leader should transform themselves into Leaders in Digital Era. If we have no Strategy and cannot get transformation working, there is no place for Digital and certainly no place for Digital Leaders.

2. Cascading Strategy down is one of the major challenges for any companies. Just townhall communication is far from enough. Treat every employee differently just like how we are doing for customers. What does our Strategy mean to every single one of employees? Rather than just “Segment of One” for customer (customer centric or customer obsessed), can we do “Workforce of One” (employee centric or employee obsessed)?

3. Innovation will just become a threatre and showroom if we don’t understand the first 2 points. Even you got a fancy innovation head title, it doesn’t mean you can overcome all challenges in Transformation including Digital Transformation. Eventually you lose your passion and leave your company voluntarily or involuntarily.

Thank you to MTR Learning and Development team and my CUHK teammates to make this meaningful panel discussion happen. Appreciate it.

Empowering Data Literacy in Macau: DaLa’s First Study Visit

By

1st DaLa Macau Trip (May 5-6, 2023)

Our Data Literacy Association DaLa had a very fruitful and enjoyable study visit to #Macau in the last two days. We have previewed the impressive Galaxy International Convention Centre GICC, visited ICBC Macau, University of Macau Smart City Lab 澳门智慧城市物联网国家重点实验室, and Macau Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT).

Over 50 people including DaLa’s Founding fellows, tech leaders from Hong Kong, and local IT leaders from Macau, joined our journey. We also hosted a DaLa dinner (Yes, DaLa dinner, not Gala Dinner) in the fabulous venue of Galaxy Macau and invited key leaders from Macau to join it. It was our honour to have senior management from Macau SAR Government, Galaxy, #Wynn, #Melco, #SJM, #澳觅 and more participated our dinner. We all learned a lot from these visits and we also all had fun to have an opportunity to meet new friends and catch up with old friends.

I am so grateful to have all of us being able to join this fruitful and joyful trip with good health after such a long 3 years of pandemic. Heartfelt thank to #Galaxy Macau, #ICBC Macau, University of Macau #UM, and Macau #FDCT for not just hosting us but sharing openly with us. Also, thank you for our sponsors #Google Cloud, #Checkpoint and #Veeam to support and join our study visit.

Special thanks to the Talent Development Committee of Macau SAR Government, and friends in Macau including Will Fu, David Ho, Keyvin Bi, 江海涛 and Lawrence Lau for their support.

Certainly, it couldn’t happen without my Founding Fellows and Secretariate Office teammates. My heartfelt thank to all of them. We do have a passionate and professional team. Our DaLa teammates will surely share more on their insights and experiences from this trip in these few days. Stay tuned.
