Keynote Speech: Digital transformation empowering MNC’s to drive innovation and generate new value in China
Alain Crozier

We are experiencing a paradigm shift, where localized computing together with a connective and responsive cloud is making it possible to do things that were simply never possible before. Streams of data, when captured and harnessed with applied intelligence are enabling better decisions and transformative processes so organizations can do things differently, create new experiences, enable new ways of working and generate new business value. Multinational organizations are applying this new breed of digital technologies in China, experimenting with new products, services and business models in China, for China, and ultimately for their ecosystems of customers, partners, employees and other stakeholders around the world.

Parallel Personal Skill Workshop 1 • Design Thinking Bootcamp
Richard Robinson

Coming up with an idea is easy. Coming up with the right one takes work. With design thinking, throwing out what you think you know and starting from scratch opens up all kinds of possibilities. Apple, Google, Samsung and GE, have already adopted the Design Thinking approach. Design Thinking is being taught at leading universities around the world, including d.school, Stanford, Harvard and MIT. But do you know what Design Thinking is? And why it’s so popular? Join this workshop to get a taste of DT and how it can be relevant for your company and your career.

In this hour and half session, Peking University Adjunct Professor and serial entrepreneur, Richard Robinson, will lead the group through a high-energy and insightful crash course with fun, hands-on and interactive prototyping.
