On July 10th, 2020 HBS Executive Education hosted the first hybrid event after COVID-19, which was the start of SELP China Alum Experience Sharing series. Over 80 alumni attended each of the first two sharing events, with about 30 at Harvard Center Shanghai and the rest attending on Zoom. The hybrid model allowed alumni to meet with one another and to participate from a distance. Speakers of the events are experts in their field and shared business insights on a variety of topics including strategies to cope with the crisis and business recovery. Charlie Liu (SELP8) addressed the current China executive talent pool, business trends post-COVID in China, and new leadership competencies for the VUCA age. Jimmy Qian (SELP8) presented challenges and opportunities in the semiconductor industry for Chinese companies to move towards self-reliance in computer chips.
