GS1 Hong Kong Summit 2022

By

Joined the GS1 Hong Kong Summit 2022 today in my capacity as the President of Internet of Things #IoT Industry Advisory Council https://lnkd.in/gZ3M-NrZ. Thanks for Anna Lin‘s invitation.

Really like the main theme “Enabling Growth through #IDD“. Guess what IDD means? We may recall the old memory of IDD which means the International Direct Dialing. IDD today means #Innovation, #Disruption and #DigitalTransformation. I learned a lot more about ESG, Digital Transformation, New Retail, Data Analytics, eCommerce, Trade Finance, and MetaVerse from many speakers and panelists like Rico Lau#Lawsgroup, Louis Mah#Maxims, Samuel lau#KerryLogistics, Anson Bailey (eMBA)#KPMG, Nelson Chow#HKMA, Sandy Tan#DBS, and many others today.

More importantly, met many good friends f2f whom we haven’t seen each other physically for the last 3 years. Really felt great and warm to see many bright entrepreneurs and leaders such as Dr. Michael Chan #CafeDeCoral, Lucia Cheung#HKIM, Danny Shum#Ztore#TVB, Keith Wu#Fulum, Crystal Pang#Pickups, Vincent SoHenry Yeung#RTIA.

I am also very happy to see my elite #CUHK#EMBA students like Vincent Wong, Edmund Chan, Mae Chen there. Really grateful that my students have started engaging more with the #innovation and #technology#ecosystem as I often encourage them to do more. Well done.

Thank you so much to May Chung, FACKM, Anna Lin, Mignone Cheng, Dr. Stephen Lam, Corinna Fung and many others from GS1 Hong Kong team #GS1HK to organize such a fruitful summit.

Don’t forget to download the excellent report “Retail Recharged: Engaging consumers with technology, purpose and trust – 2022 Survey” from GS1HK and KPMG. Thanks the perfect Duo Anna Lin and Anson Bailey (eMBA) to present its key findings on stage. Brilliant and insightful performance.

Hong Kong Institute of Marketing (HKIM) Symposium 2022

By

Congratulations to the great success of the Hong Kong Institute of Marketing #HKIM Symposium 2022. The main theme this year is The New Frontier of Marketing – Connecting the dots of #MetaVerse. I have moderated 5 forums on MetaVerse in the last 2 months. This is the 6th one and it was inspiring and impressive. MetaVerse experts were there today to share their experience to empower large to small companies to ride on this huge MetaVerse wave. #Sandbox Erich Wong was there as the last speaker to connect all the dots in the space. Other speakers did a great job too. Kevin K T Lee #Redspots, Gabriel K. #AiRMetaVerse, and Peter Lin #BlueArk were all very passionate on what they are doing on MetaVerse. Really thank to HKIM’s invitation to me to moderate such a great panel discussion there. Thanks Dr. Michael Chan, Ivan Wong, Dr. Angus Ho, Lucia Cheung and their teammates to organize such a great event. Appreciate all my panel guests for their insightful sharing Sally Chue #EventX, Rick Woo #LOST, Becky Wong #IndexGame and Jack Lau #Artcoin. Dare to try and transition from Web2 to Web2.5 then Web3 were some key ways to get us engage in this MetaVerse revolution. Do need to consider the social, people and environmental side of the MetaVerse before it becomes uncontrollable. From today’s insight, I start feeling that the Sky is the Only Limit for what we can innovate and achieve in the MetaVerse. A real revolution and tsunami is coming. We had better embrace and capitalize it, and make good use of it as well.

HKPC Innopreneur vForum: All About MetaVerse Series

By

Learned a lot today from the #MetaVerse practitioners in town in the 2nd forum of our “All About MetaVerse Series”. The main theme today was MetaVerse Strategies for #Brands, #SMEs and #Entrepreneurs. I am so grateful to be the moderator of this series. More episodes will come shortly. Stay tuned with HKPC #Innopreneur vForum. My post on the 1st episode of this series can be found here. https://lnkd.in/dusKJYeA

Big thanks to our guest speakers Lorraine Cheung #Yahoo, Chris Wang #AWS, Kevin K T Lee #Redspots and Henry Chu #PillnPillow. Two of them are entrepreneurs and the other two are platform providers. That enabled us to discuss this topic from a more balanced perspective.

We discussed from MetaVerse opportunities, challenges to technologies, platforms, talents requirement and future skills. MetaVerse is not a hype but the direction is still being shaped. It is very early so everyone gets a chance but we need to keep learning and be open minded.

In essence, there are a few things that we need to strike a balance in order to make the best out of this unprecdented opportunity for the decade – MetaVerse.

1. The next 5 to 10 years will have lots of opportunities. By 2030, the market is going to reach 5 trillion USD globally. At same time, lots of regulations and governance needed to be in place to balance the opportunities and potential problems.

2. We have more opportunities from scalability to the global markets but at the same time competitions from global players.

3. New digital skills will be required but soft skills, like problem solving, communication, project management are equally important.

4. #Data analytics, #MachineLearning and #AI are crucial now and even more pivotal in the MetaVerse for customer experience and engagement.

5. SMEs are lack of resources and talents but lots of good partners in the MetaVerse ecosystem that they can leverage on.

6. Keep trying and learning to get started but be aware of the risks like losing Crypto from your hot wallets.

Lots more to come. See you in our 3rd MetaVerse episode soon. Have a good ride in your MetaVerse journey.

Thanks to Karen F., Elly Yip and their teammates #HKPC, Dr. Angus Ho #HKIM and Annie Yeung #Vootprint for their great effort to make this forum happened.
