D2Place – How Traditional Manufacturing Leader Transformed Itself

By

Appreciate Rico Lau from LAWSGROUP to introduce and show me and my teammates Andy Kwok, Victor Ng and Derek Leung from OpenCertHub Academy about the Group’s creativity in various areas. It has really opened our eyes on how a traditional apparel manufacturing leader has successfully transformed themselves and been making a huge impact to the community. Impressive.

LAWSGROUP has turned the traditional buildings in old district Lai Chi Kok into vibrant and popular shopping, dining and entertainment co-creation spaces called “D2 Place” https://lnkd.in/g3MUvnpi with young #enterpreneurs. It empowers many young innovators to test out their products, pivot and scale up to real shops. I can feel the passion from not only the enterpreneurs but also the young customers there. Thank you Rico to have shown us around. I am sure there are a lot more to explore in these spaces and it is still evolving. Really appreciate the team effort from Rico, Leslie Fok, Miko Cheung and many others from LAWSGROUP to revitalize these spaces, empower #entrepreneurship and made many impossible to possible.

Rico also brought us to the Laws Knitters Studio 羅氏針織工作室 which not only shows the history of knitting but also provides a co-creation space for designers and manufacturers.
Riding on their ecosystem creativity, knitting products now have many varieties as shown on the photos. It can be personalized as well.

When I saw the traditional “#Singer #勝家” sewing home machine, it triggered a lot of memories on how my mom made clothes for me by her own hands from scratch when I was young while the economy has not taken off. Thank you mom and thank you Laws Group to build this studio for our collective memory.

Rico and I exchanged many good ideas on #Innovation, #DataLiteracy, #MetaVerse, #ESG, #SocialImpact, #Community #Cocreation, and more. Look forward to having even more collaboration with him and his teammates at LAWSGROUP in different areas in the Year of the Rabbit and beyond.

(Hong Kong) Panel Discussion with Elite Digital Leaders @CUHK MBA Alumni Association 

By

Amazing f2f panel discussion today with 5 elite digital leaders. Thanks for Ian Chan #Octopus, Adrian Toy #Google, Kevin Huang #Carousell, Ralph Szeto #AIM & Frankie Ng #Shopify.

We discussed 2 key questions.

1. What are the hurdles of #DigitalTransformation?

2. What are the impacts of the pandemic on Digital Transformation?

My key takeaways are:

1. Sense of urgency is critical to drive change including digital tranformation.

2. Great potential of our #Entrepreneurship were unleashed when people have more time with themselves during the pandemic.

3. Culture is key as political and functional silos causing lots of hurdles without alignment.

4. The pandemic drives not only digital adoption of users but also #CustomerExperience #innovation from the providers.

5. Some great visions of the panelist: Carousell wants to make 2nd hand products as people’s first choice. It brings #Sustainability & #SocialImpact to the society while Shopify aims to be the platform of all commerce at all touchpoints instead of just #Ecommerce.

Appreciate CUHK MBA Alumni Association Alexandra Lo, EMBA and Armstrong Lee & #CUHKMBA and #CUHKEMBA colleagues to make this amazing forum possible. Thanks to all f2f and online participants & their active participation. See you next time.
