TRACK C: Hack Your Habits (Challenge of Disruption) {8/f Room 2}
Did you know that our habits help us do tasks automatically allowing us to use our time and energy efficiently? By regularly repeating behaviour that requires little or no thought we can operate on autopilot. Habits can become deeply ingrained, sometimes creating more problems than it solves. Small changes in habits, when done at scale, can have transformational change. Have you wanted to adopt “green” habits and be a changemaker? Join this interactive workshop and let’s hack those habits!

Benjamin Chu, Corporate Citizenship Lead, Accenture Hong Kong
