Mr Danny Wan, Associate Partner, FSI Business Consulting Asia
Ms Kriti Gupta, Senior Consultant, Advisory (Consulting & Transformation)
Ms Corrine Tso, Consultant, Advisory (Consulting & Transformation)

Company NTT China Hong Kong Limited

Almost every large organisation in Asia now has an AI ambition — far fewer have AI in production at scale. Drawing on NTT DATA's APAC Advisory work with banks, insurers and other enterprises across Hong Kong and the region, this seminar looks at what separates the pilots that stall from the programmes that deliver measurable value. We will cover the shift from generative to agentic AI, the data and governance foundations that make it possible, the realities of deploying AI in a regulated environment, and the operating-model and talent changes that follow. The session closes with a candid view of the skills and career paths that technology consulting in Asia is hiring for today, followed by open Q&A.

Agenda:

  • Welcome and introduction to NTT DATA
  • The state of enterprise AI in APAC: ambition vs. reality
  • Case perspectives from financial services and regulated industries in Hong Kong
  • Careers in technology advisory: what we look for in graduates
  • Q & A Session

This is definitely a seminar not to be missed! See you all there!
