Congratulations to the Hong Kong Digital Asset Society #HKDAS Inauguration Ceremony today at Cyberport. It was also a showcase of their hackathon winners. The award winners were so impressive. The youngest awardee was only 14 years old. It was an excellent start to nurture our next generation of digital asset talents for Hong Kong. Appreciate the great effort from the HKDAS’ leaders Fonia Wong 黃仰芳, Alex Au, and their committee members including the well-known artist Hanjin Tan, Celia Lok. Thanks for inviting Edmund Lee, Vincent So and me to be the DAS’s industry advisors. It was our pleasure to join today’s ceremony. As more and more events back to f2f, I am really glad to see friends again. I am very pleased to see Sunny Lee, #ASTRI Chairman, Simon Chan, #Cyberport Chairman, Peter Yan Cyberport CEO, David Chung #ITB, Joseph HL Chan #FSTB, Allen Yeung, Duncan Wong, Kenneth Chau, Priscilla Yeung, Joseph C.

Back to the RTHK station today for recording another episode of New Management Thinking 管理新思維. Found a classical radio in 1950 there powered by Vaccum Tube. Oh, WOW! That actually made me think about my childhood with my whole family around a radio like this. It was as advanced and luxurious as what we have a 8k TV today. More importantly, a much more warmth and intimacy with my family back then. What a memory! Transforming a city from an old model to a smart city is like improving from a vintage radio to a 8K TV. Let’s talk about Smart City this time and why every citizen in Hong Kong should care about it. Grateful to have Thomson Lai, the Asia Digital Head of AECOM, as my guest for another fruitful episode in the RTHK’s New Management Thinking 管理新思維. #AECOM is one of key contributors in planning and building our city of Hong Kong in the last 60+ years. Received a book from Thomson called “Hong Kong Created Together”. Lots of Hong Kong’s history from nobody to one of the top cities with world-class infrastructure. Thanks the contribution from Thomson and his AECOM 艾奕康 colleagues. We started talking about what a smart city is. Then we discussed what Hong Kong has been doing in the journey of becoming a smart city, how other leading cities are doing, what key stakeholders are in a smart city and how they are empowering our city as a smart city. Certainly we talked about how emerging #technologies and #data are impacting smart cities. Very interesting. You don’t want to miss it. Really appreciate Thomson’s sharing and my RTHK partner Phoebe. My key takeaways are: 1. Citizen centricity 2. Innovation and entrepreneurship 3. Pan-city digital infrastructure If you would like to learn more from Thomson on Smart City now and the future, please tune in RTHK1 on Jun 19 at 2pm. https://lnkd.in/f-X8RaN For previous episodes of the programme, please visit here. https://lnkd.in/dWRkD_x7 #SmartCity #DigitalCity #RTHK #RTHK1 #FM94 #NewManagementThinking #管理新思維 #CUHK #CitizenJourney #MomentsOfLife #Data #BIM #DigitalTwins #AI #IOT #5G #MetaVerse #VR #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Startups
Starting from the Year of the Tiger, I will co-host the signature programme New Management Thinking 管理新思維 of #RTHK. I will invite top leaders in town to share their experience on digital transformation and corporate innovation.
I am so grateful that I had Ravel Lai, a veteran in #RetailTech industry, to be my 1st guest of this series. More top leaders will share their experience with us. Stay tuned.
Ravel has been applying technologies for retailers in all kinds from shoes, grocery, electronics to restaurants and shopping malls. He is a perfect expert to learn from on how retailers have been making use of technologies to solve problems, seize opportunities and handle crisis like the Covid-19.
We talked about technologies being used to overcome the pandemic. We explored the use of #BigData and #AI in #membership, #logistics, #eCommerce, #O2O, #NewRetail, #SocialCRM, and more. We also shared on various collaboration examples with startups. Then, we discussed the future of retail and the impact of emerging tech like #MetaVerse and #XR on retail industry.
