Imagine I will read it in 5 years(part II)

It is a war and those who fight and survive might become heroes of tomorrow.

Top inspirations I learned from this crisis are as follows:

1. As a company or a government, risk management is super important. Those who manage the risks well and planned ahead could possibly overcome hard times and survive strong.

One of the key principles for risk management is to distribute the risks over multiple buckets. To a B2B business or country, the key competitiveness would lie in supply chain management, getting the right suppliers and deliver to the end buyers. In the past, the key decision will be primarily influenced by the cost factor. In a low-risk environment, it would be fine. However, in a high-risk environment, this may break, and cost could be much less a factor than the following two factors:

  • The reliability of the supplier
  • The alternative choices in case of the supply chain breakdown.

This reminds me of the fruits suppliers in SG's supermarkets. Even for oranges, it could come from different sources, in SA, U.S., Egypt, etc.

This also applies to Fooyo's businesses, not only the consulting businesses, but also smart tourism products. The end buyers for our consulting services would be the MNCs, government agencies and entrepreneurs who need to get a project developed. To them, they could have chosen other suppliers out of the prices, however, they choose Fooyo and weigh other factors more than prices.

  • The reliability(mainly the experiences, and past project deliveries)
  • Risk of breakdown(This still could improve. We also optimize our own suppliers: own staff in SG and Chengdu, and other freelance partners.)
This is also part of the competitiveness for SG/German companies, to provide value-added benefits to end customers with additional values on top of the raw product.

  1. When reflecting on decisions with a five-year outlook, governance plays a central role in shaping outcomes. Policies enacted today directly affect tomorrow’s opportunities. Leaders equipped with skills from a Government Leadership Training Course are more capable of planning for the future, anticipating challenges, and delivering long-term stability and prosperity for their people.

  2. Reflecting on the future, reading current issues five years from now may reveal missed opportunities or wise decisions. Preparing leaders to anticipate change is vital. A Government Leadership Executive Program trains professionals to think critically, adapt policies, and lead with foresight, ensuring governments make sustainable choices that positively shape their nations over time.

IPAD/FB Seminar- Thoughts on Pulse News

Monday's presentation was full of interesting sparks. Of all the eleven teams, only one chose to present FB app, which is Sims Social. The others all chose to present ipad apps. That's not so surprising as Ipad(Tablets) is the most recent platform and there are a lot of blank spaces for us to fill in. The ten ipad apps shared in the seminar covers various fields like e-payment, news-media, education. What surprised me most is that many of us find education a very promising area for mobile app development...As ipads are being utilized as an educational tools in various educational levels, education is really going to be a great pie. Wait, I need to finish comments for my assigned app first. Pulse News, a news media app with good social features. News media are getting more social and mobile and probably "cloudy" in the recently years. Organizing news media contents can be a promising area since there are always interesting things happening around and people just have...

Pause and Retrospect

I recently enjoyed a swift lunch with an old friend, who was once my roommate during our school years. We had an in-depth conversation about life and career. To my mind, his thought process is far more mature than mine, and his decisions seem more future-oriented. Although our conversation was private, I believe certain insights should be shared with a broader audience. 1. The Role of Luck in Life.  His life experiences have significantly highlighted the impact of luck. While I'm not ready to accept this fully, similar sentiments have been echoed by other successful and wise individuals I've interacted with. I also recently watched an informative video that lucidly explains the 80/20 rule and the principle of luck. The video demonstrates through "agent-based modelling" how the wealthiest person isn't necessarily the most talented but is usually someone of average talent who encounters multiple lucky events in life.  I agreed that luck indeed plays a vital role and...
