(Hong Kong) Newly Launched Data Literacy Empowerment Programme by Hang Seng Bank

By

Grateful that Hang Seng Bank, one of the major banks in Hong Kong, is determined to become a data-driven leader in the financial services. Appreciate the vision and leadership from the bank’s senior management to make this happen. It really sets a great example for Hong Kong companies to treat data as their strategic asset and how data play a game changer role in the Digital Economy.

Apart from data and technology parts, Data Literacy is equally critical for the success of a data-driven enterprise. Apart from English and Chinese, do you speak #Data? According to Gartner, Data is the second business language in the Digital Economy. Every employee, not just data team and IT team, needs to speak data to communicate with, argue with and persuade customers, colleagues, bosses, investors, partners, literally everyone around you. This is one of the top Future Skills ranked by almost all leading research firms.

It is my pleasure and honour having this opportunity to lead and deliver our Data Literacy Empowerment Programme #DLEP to the bank. DLEP aims to democratise data literacy to the majority of the workforce through a series of data literacy executive roundtables, experiential workshops, group projects, mentoring sessions, hackathons and more for the bank. It emphasizes on data mindset and culture, data storytelling, machine learning applications and hands-on experience. Thanks to the trust and support from Hang Seng Bank’s senior management especially the leadership from Patrick Khong, CDO of HASE, my CUHK’s teammates and OpenCertHub Academy’s data experts.

Higher customer expectations on digital experience and keen competition from data savvy banks and FinTech startups are some of key drivers for us to create this DLEP programme. In fact, it happened in not just financial services but also most of the major traditional industries.

If you would like to know more about our DLEP to ride on the journey of becoming a data-driven enterprise, I am happy to share my thoughts with you.

(Hong Kong) What is the Secret Sauce of the Leading Enterprises in New Economy?

By

What is the secret sauce of Coca-Cola in the old economy? How about the secret sauce of the leading enterprises in today’s new economy? The answer is customer centricity. How did these enterprises make it? The answer is #Data. These companies are capable of turning data into their customer voice. That differentiates the leaders from the laggards in the digital economy.

Thanks for Hong Kong Association for Customer Service Excellence #HKACE to invite me to share my experience with their members. My main theme was “Turn Data into Our Customer Voice”. I have explained the core relationship of Customer Centricity and Data Literacy using the Left-Right Circle framework. I also introduced how we used our Data Literacy Empowerment Programme #DLEP to empower enterprises to democratize data literacy (data culture, mindset and skills) to the majority of their workforce. Find out more from our OpenCertHub Academy https://lnkd.in/gi6y9mJE

Benson Kwong #Fairwood#大快活, one of the largest fast food chains in Asia, also shared how they made use of data to help their internal customers (colleagues) to solve pain points in the front line. For instance, they used data to find the most effective way to deliver training to different levels of employees. Excellent examples of making use of data for customer excellence.

Appreciate Annie LeungCharles Ho from #HKACE#MTR effort to organize this forum. I hope I have given some insights to them and their members how to leverage on data in their customer services businesses and operations.
