In this new episode, our coaches discuss – among other things – the topic of this year’s International Coaching Week: “Reimagine the Future”. 

Digital Transformation is often a challenge in any organisation, large or small.  Everyone agrees that it must be done, but often, no one wants to take the bull by the horns and own that responsibility.  On the contrary, this episode’s guest did take the lead and was successful in making that change within the very restrictive sector of public health in Hong Kong. Raphael Hui, former Head of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Institute of Health IT and current Fellow at the Australasian Institute of Digital Health, joins us to discuss his path to public sector success, and his book on the subject “When Digital Done Right: Leading Digital Transformation in the Public Sector”.
