Unlike anything in recent history, the global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social and economic disruption called the way today’s enterprises operate into intense and far reaching question. This panel, which includes representatives from an internationally-famous textile and garment manufacturer, a global insurance and asset management provider, and one of the world’s most efficient metro railway operators, will discuss the strengths and lay out the weaknesses of current business approaches. The session will wrap up with views on how digital transformation can enable sustainable growth, and what this all means for the “future of work” in a post-pandemic world.

One of the most interesting outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic is the way it has accelerated the use of technology among Hong Kong companies. Few people are better placed to observe and comment on this development than the representatives of some of the world’s biggest technology providers, a selection of whom will be members of the Partner Panel session at SAPPHIRE Now Vision Hong Kong 2020. They will share first-hand their experiences with the growing number of companies adopting cloud technology to overcome business and operational disruptions. The panel will wrap up with an audience Q&A aimed at getting to the heart of what matters to local companies and how they can be better prepared to withstand future business disruptions.

Digital transformation has already helped many firms keep ahead of competitors. Amid the uncertainty of a global pandemic, the question now being asked is how new technology-driven business models can create, distribute and sustain long-term value increasingly unpredictable markets.

At this year’s SAPPHIRE NOW Vision Executive Dialogue, business leaders will share their perspectives on the impact of COVID-19 on their companies. They’ll showcase the effect of sudden behavior shifts – both internal and external – and how they have responded to this crisis.
