HKEX

Change Starts With “YOU”. What a quote posted on the wall of the Agile Culture Transformation #ACT room in the China CITIC Bank International #CNCBI 中信銀行(國際) in Hong Kong. The Bank really understands how important culture is to make any change work. It is so inspiring and a perfect place for us to hold our forum there with the main theme on Data Literacy: From Data Insight to Data Monetization.

The secret sauce of monetizing data asset effectively is in fact Data Culture of the organization. Our audiences were from different business units of the Bank. They also agreed with us that data culture is the top challenge to monetize data asset of the bank.

Frazer Lam, CIO of CNCBI, and I have delivered our speeches to set the scene. We then had a fruitful discussion with Patrick Khong #HKEX, Michael Yung #Google and Victor Ng #OpenCertHubAcademy #OCHA. Really grateful having them in my panel. We all learnt a lot from their sharing. Thank you.

My 3 key takeaways on monetizing data effectively are as follows:

1. Collaboration across business units, IT and Data teams are super important to capitalize data asset.

2. Users at all levels should speak the language of data as their habit to solve problems, seize opportunities and communicate/agrue with stakeholders.

3. Building a sustainable data culture is the most critical success factor for data monetization rather than talent, data, technology, financial support and business cases.

Victor Ng and I have been empowering quite a few enterprises with our Data Literacy Empowerment Programme #DLEP. It is a data culture change programme and is a journey instead of a project. Please find out more https://ochacademy.com/

Really appreciate Denny Woo, CPFinT(M), Salina C., Sunny So, Joel Tse and many others from CNCBI and my OpenCertHub Academy’s colleagues to make this happen. Thanks for all participants on site and online today and their sensible questions. Happy to catch up with good friends Benedict Lau, CSM, CSPO, Lam Holly, Hongming Hu,CFA FRM and a few more now with the Bank there after the long Covid time.

Change Starts With “YOU”. Let’s empower ourselves to be a data citizen and speak the language of data every day.

#Recover #Rebuild #Reborn (3Rs) was the main theme of 2021 #HongKongEconomicSummit. #CE Carrie Lam, #FS Paul Chan #HKMA Eddie Yu & #HKEX Laura Cha presented in the summit.

I was so grateful that every top leader from different industries presented in the summit talked about how companies from large to small have been using technologies to achieve these 3 Rs.

I was impressed by the guest speakers in the panel that I was moderating in the summit. They are more resilient & innovative than I thought. They have done a lot not just for their companies but also empowering many merchants and SMEs to overcome their challenges in the Covid-19 period. Ecosystem collaboration is the key for the 3Rs. Thank you Kenny Koo #HutchisomTelecom, CK Chan #TMall & Chairman Chen #Bonjour. Appreciate🙏 Alaric Chu 朱子昭 & his colleagues from #MetroFinance & #HKEJ for inviting me as the moderator & organizing such a great summit.

Thanks for Mr. Alfred Sit, Secretary for #ITB, & Albert Wong, CEO #HKSTP, to share their vision & effort to empower Hong Kong to be a leading digital hub in the world & how we can leverage the opportunities in the #GBA.

Glad to see good friends in the summit Daniel Chan #HSBC, Dr. Haywood Cheung #CGSE, daniel yip #FHKI, Martin Szeto #ASTRI. All are healthy🤗👍.
