The Executive Education Office ran the third cohort of Digital Transformation Program for HKSAR Government Officers for a group of 28 senior government officers from six bureaus and departments in April. The program aims to provide a comprehensive overview of key digital transformation topics and foster a digital mindset among government officers.

The program covered a wide range of topics, including Overview of the Digital Transformation and Disruptive Technologies by Prof. HUI Kai-lung, Overview of Big Data & Artificial Intelligence by Prof. Jean WANG, Digital Mindset by Prof. KOH Tat Koon, Leverage Social Media on Public Good by Prof. HONG Jiewen, and Compliance Essentials in Digital Transformation by Prof. Henry CHANG. Meanwhile, Prof. HE Chao, Founder & CEO of AIVI Technologies Limited, gave a talk on Empowering Business and Social Analytics with AI.

To apply the learning, the participants worked in groups to brainstorm a creative application using the emerging technologies and presented it at the end of the program. They expressed that the concepts and skills learned on the latest technologies can help improve public services and highly recommend this program to their colleagues. Stay tuned for the next cohort which has been scheduled for this August.
