Last day in Hong Kong!
The Omnium group is ready to go home, but before that - God put the last assignment - THE ACTION MEMO. Within an our we had the task to consult a tech company and their CEO on issues we had looked at in class. This was a perfect way to sum up all the discussions and teaching we had in this class!
Thanks Chris Wagner for all the innovative and up to date information provided. I gave me a great insight on whats hot and whats not!!!
Hopefully you got my assignments???? If not just send me a mail!
DONE!
A personal note at the end.
The last night in Hong Kong we spend in style...
First the Golder Rulers and Lucas went to the JW Marriott Hotel and its Chinese Restaurant. That was the prize for winning the Marriott competition in Macau! HUA Golder Rulers!
After that we went to the KEE Club, hot spot, great chef and good Vodka... Thanks Alexa and Patrick for organizing!!!!!!!!
Volar was our final destination that night - It ended in style!

Day 9 in Hong Kong
The last hot topic in innovation right now is virtual worlds. The class had the chance to go on " SecondLife" and visit the Cirquent Island. Some employees from Cirquent were online and so we had the chance to experience this virtual connection and talk in real time and shown on the big screens in teaching room! What a fun experience! I think it also helped to educate and connect people in the group better to this innovative platform!
Last but not least was the information about Mashing up services! This was very interesting session, which talked about the possibilities of bundling services on the web. This will again transform the WWW, as we know it today.
Important sides to look at:
zillow.com
zoominfo.com
But there are also privacy issues as well! The www can be very dangerous in terms of supplying and distributing private information, which is not supposed to get into the hands of everybody.

Wednesday morning was "Quiz Day" - everybody was up all night to study for the Finance exam in the morning! Some of the group used the time wisely to get an Iphone.
By the way I can highly recommend the Sushi in the Eaton Hotel - service was bad, but the food rocked!!! I mean nothing compared to ZUMA, but hey there is no comparison to ZUMA....
The Quiz went ok, we will see what the results will be!
In the afternoon it was Innovation Technology again - In this session we analyzed successful products, as enablers of better processes, or better process integration.
Bundling products together means a great additional value for the customer. But, and there is a big but to this - it adds complexity to your development function. A good axample for this is the Ipod - ability of most if the BMWs nowadays. But you have know our processes and integrate them with the product development process at the partnering firm.
Day 7 in Hong Kong
Tuesday - sweet Tuesday!!!
After having interesting Finance in the morning, the best came at last - Innovation Technology!
Disruptive technologies - this class showed me, how working on shared documents provide a source for inapproprate use of the tool. I dont want to go deeper into this. It showed me that everybody working online on the same document should have the same goals and attitude. Culture and different kind of humor will disturb this working environment very quickly - so watch out!!! Smile

Day 5 in Hong Kong
Sunday - I would call the suit day! I left the Eaton hotel rather late... But then again it was the weekend!!! It was warm outside and the sun was shining!!!
Since good friends had told me that Jack is the guy to get a suit from - I HAD TO GO!
Thanks to Paul, who volunteered to take me to the place in the Penisula Centre (has nothing to do with the Peninsula Hotel!
Marvelous fabriques Jack had there! I enjoyed myself...
Then the Iphone search began... we went to stores checked the phone out. Amazing - there is a Hiphone - which is almost a clone to the REAL thing! Please also see this movie at youtube about it on the right hand side!!!
The Quest goes on...

Day 4 in Hong Kong
After a rather hard night out, Hong Kong visit including shopping was on the schedule! By the way, we went to Zuma to eat first, then Halo followed by a night out at the one of the best clubs in Hong Kong - Volar...
Zuma is the best place for Sushi outside of Japan! Taste Buds we in total delight!
Shoppen in Hong Kong is crazy. There are certain areas dedicated for certain things to buy, like Mong Kok for electronics. So many people on the street!
I enjoyed myself very much and bought a couple things...smile
Dinner was at ZEST, some nice Filet... Awesome! And the garlic mash with it - delicious!!!
Home at the Eaton - early, but hey...
