About panel
Explore the transformative power of purpose and get a glimpse of success in a dynamic business landscape.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have been enlightened by the significance of purpose and shared value in achieving long-term success. Syed Asim Hussain, a leader in the Hong Kong high-end restaurant industry, was among the hardest hit. In this panel, he will share his group’s journey of instilling purpose in driving resilience within their workforce and bouncing back with strength. Joining him is Francois-Xavier Guiot from HSBC, offering insights on the institution’s responsive initiatives to adapt to the changing customer needs based on human-centric design, embracing disruptions, and forging innovative strategies for post-pandemic prosperity.
