(Shanghai) Cultivating Data Talents for Financial Services

By

Two of the world’s top business cities,  HongKong and Shanghai have a lot of things similar and in common. They are both strong in FinancialServices & play a pivotal role in the global financial services market.

It was my pleasure to join a forum on “Cultivating Data Talents in Financial Services 打造金融数据人才” in Shanghai. I shared the global trend on FinTech & BigData and discussed with experts from Shanghai financial services industry in a panel. Thanks for the valuable sharing from the speakers from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, China Construction Bank, East West Bank, Deutsche Bank. I learned a lot from them.

The forum also launched a cooperation for Hong Kong & Shanghai to join hands to reskill FinancialServices leaders & practitioners in the mainland China with BigData and AI competence. OpenCertHub from Hong Kong is a certification & an examination platform for AI & Big Data talents while 鴻覽金融研究院 from Shanghai is a leading training institute specialized in financial services training. Together, we launched a new series of training programs to help financial services get ready for the AI Era.

Special thanks to Carrie Ma from 上海鴻覧 & Francois Lee Tony Woo 胡宗显from OpenCertHub. Find out more about the collaboration: https://lnkd.in/fNbk6Nh

Sharing in HK TownGas TechTalks on Citizen Data Scientists

By
Towngas is a great learning organization with open culture to keep their teams innovative in the Digital Economy. They have been organizing Techtalks regularly on topics like IOT AI 5G MachineLearning to educate their colleagues at all levels updated on Innovation. They made use of lunch time & Skype to make these available to most staff in different locations. Great effort there. It was my honour to share my experience on BigData with them. Thanks for GM of Corporate IT Susanna Shen inviting me for such a great sharing session. We talked about a few key innovations to make use of big data including Philips,  Michelin, Siemens, Amazon and Alibaba. I use life examples to make this topic understandable to audiences with different backgrounds. I believe it is the key as TechTaks do not have to be RocketScience. Rather, it should bring out how technology relates to what the audiences care like customer experience. Everyone needs to be Citizen Data Scientist and high DataQuotient to make intelligent use of data to compete in today’s digital world. We also discuss Preventive Maintenance on stoves, pipes, Smart Meters to do Smart City AlgorithmaticTrading.  Great to have the discussion to trigger more inspirations. Keep it going TownGas to create more values to us. Thank you.
