The Hong Kong Polytechnic University's Centre for Leadership & Innovation (CLI) successfully concluded the Symposium on Decision Making in an Uncertain Environment. This event brought together renowned scholars, C-suite executives, and business leaders to dissect the complexities of risk, AI-driven decisions, hiring, talent management, and leadership in the era of AI.
Paul Loo shared using Lalamove's international expansion as an example, the potential risks companies face as they expand globally and how these leaders can be prepared to mitigate these international expansion risks.
Carol Zheng shared how Deloitte China strategically aims to utilize the benefits while being cognizant of the challenges generative AI and machine learning pose
Shuping Li shared her research on CEO's risk of getting fired and their likelihood of engaging in corporate social responsibility (a moderate risk maximizes their CSR).
Man-Nok Wong shared his research on how companies can use AI-based video assessments to catch interviewees trying to game the system.
Krishna Savani shared his research on psychological traits (such as creativity, cognitive flexibility, and risk-taking) that distinguish humans from generative AI and how we can measure them using non-fakeable tests.
Finally, Trent Lilienthal shared that the current era is no different from the past 30 years (e.g., the Dot-com bubble, Y2K, the financial crisis, Brexit). Businesses that learn to deal with constant uncertainty and unpredictability succeed.
Overall the talks fostered thought-provoking discussions to discover actionable insights while the networking sessions enabled professionals to share actionable insights in a relaxing environment.
We sincerely thank all speakers, attendees, and the CLI Advisory Board for making this event memorable and insightful. Together, we've paved the way for strategies that turn uncertainty into opportunity.
