HKPC X OpenCertHub – Webinar on Data Literacy and Digital Transformation

Dr. Toa Charm as Speaker of HKPC’s Webinar on 4th March

As Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads all over the world, some Hong Kong corporations are still adopting the “Work From Home” policy and advise their staff to stay home. Staying at home, however, doesn’t mean staying idle. This is the opportunity for the talents to utilize their free time to study online, which most of us may not have time to do so in ordinary times.

In the last week, Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) has launched a free webinar with the topic of “The Most Wanted Data Technology Talent: Reskill Everyone with Big Data Literacy in the Digital Economy.” Hundreds of audiences from diverse backgrounds, who have started aware of the importance of data literacy, have joined the online forum.

Dr. Toa Charm, Chairman of OpenCertHub, was invited as a speaker of the webinar. During the webinar, he shared the importance of DQ (Data Quotient) and data literacy. Dr. Toa Charm stated that “Every business leader & executive needs to boost their DQ in order to be able to create data-driven business models and monetize their data. It is a common language like English that we use for our business worldwide.”

Corporations from any industry are eager to search for data talent with high data literacy, who is capable of leading the process of digital transformation. Therefore, reskilling to be a Citizen Data Scientist has become an urgent need for talent in different backgrounds.
