Cody畢業於香港中文大學,主修數據科學與政策研究,副修城市研究。在學期間,受到油旺重建啟發,繼而投身香港城市議題倡議,涉足市區重建、社區規劃、公營街市管理等領域。過程中他深感香港土地問題經常被固有論述壟斷,因此他積極探索各種方式推動知識普及和促進民間連結,包括導賞團、講座和媒體製作。他深信推動改變就需要集結民間的智慧和創新思維,為城市開拓新的想像。

工作以外,Cody喜歡攀石、烹飪和閱讀,他享受與身體、食物和文字連結的時刻。

正如城市理論家Jane Jacob所主張「一個能夠提供所有人一些價值的城市,只會是因為她是由所有人一同創造。」因此Pun堅信城市中每個人都有能力想像並實踐更美好的城市和公共生活。

Pun畢業於香港中文大學,主修城市研究,副修社會學,及後取得香港大學城市規劃理學碩士。在加入Good Lab前,Pun曾參與有關基層醫療的倡議;亦在公營機構參與過規劃工作,關注城市可持續發展。在此過程中,Pun理解到新科技、概念與大環境正衝擊著人們理解與改造城市的固有方法。因此,Pun致力於探索城市及空間發展的新途徑和可能性,促進更具包容性和可持續性的城市發展與規劃方式在香港發生。Pun相信,只有當每個市民都有機會備受尊重地參與其中,我們才能創造足夠的韌性回應正在到來的城市挑戰。

工作以外,Pun喜歡攝影、散步與寫詩,在相片和文字中感受與梳理對世界的想像。

知是行之始,Erica於香港大學修讀城市研究、並為倫敦政治經濟學院城市化與發展理學碩士,在學期間接觸到發展史及政策移植,開始反思政策對空間發展的影響。

行是知之成。到底甚麼是一個好的規劃?帶著這條問題,Erica投身本地大型文化場所,策劃文化節目,編寫藝術教學材料,積極推廣參與式藝術及藝術教育。她亦在公營機構參與規劃工作,協助公眾諮詢,設計及建設公共設施。穎晴在當中體會到良好的跨界溝通的重要性,更看見以人為本的方案,是結構快樂的城市重要一環。

陳澤浩

  • 創新助理

香港詩人也斯提出的著名難題:「香港的故事,為甚麼這麼難說?」就如Tom正爲這段自我介紹而苦惱,不知從何說起,不知該說甚麼。正因如此,在這個城市裏,Tom相信每個願意被分享的故事,不論大小長短,都是難能可貴的。而這些故事並非未曾寫下,只是尚未揭開而已。

Tom畢業於浸會大學中文系,這四年學習生涯使其萌生對人文精神的憧憬,加上過往的編採經歷,令他期待加入Good Lab後能收集大衆的聲音,讓彼此的意見共鳴,建立互信的基礎,解決未來的問題。

另外,Tom喜歡欣賞各類文化作品及討論相關議題,從文本、音樂到電影,有時間可以多多推薦!

英國人類學家 Tim Ingold 認為,世界的紋理都是由線所組成。人的生命也是一樣,我們彼此糾纏編織成結。Ellis 渴望在如今疏離的社會,透過微細的創造,重新建立人與人之間互信的羈絆。

Ellis 畢業於香港中文大學文化研究學士課程。中大的學習經歷和記者的工作經驗,讓他更能夠同理社會的不同個體。及後,Ellis 到國立臺灣大學建築與城鄉研究所修讀碩士課程,研讀都市空間有關的議題,包括性別友善、文化遺產、參與式規劃等。兩年臺灣的經驗,讓他領會到異質多元的社會,更需要眾人用心努力維繫。

Ellis 加入 Good Lab 後,期待與更多同路人,營造出更好的香港。

Project Officer (Research)

About Good Lab

Good Lab is an award-winning, non-profit social innovation consultancy in Hong Kong dedicated to inspiring and fostering positive social change through human-centered design and cross-sector collaboration.

As a think-and-do tank, our mission is to connect diverse minds and actions to bring innovative ideas to life. We design and implement social innovation projects and training programs to build capacity for change and address complex social issues faced by our society, particularly in community design, youth empowerment, civic participation, service innovation, environmental sustainability, and social venture incubation.

Since 2012, we have been working at the intersection of civil society, NGOs, government, and businesses to facilitate innovative co-creation by leveraging Design Thinking. Prioritising people and fostering dialogue is at the core of our work, as we believe this is the key to co-creating a more sustainable and improved future.

We are currently seeking a Project Officer (Research), on a contract basis, to support our expanding and exciting range of new projects and partnerships.

About The Role – Project Officer (Research)

As a social researcher at Good Lab, your typical day can involve the following—researching on the subjects of museum management and social innovation, providing the project team with insights into the areas and identifying, outreaching to and conducting research at external information sources, including but not limited to scholars and community members…most probably not sequentially but simultaneously. But that also means you will have the opportunities to get very hands-on in every stage of the project and that work is rarely boring. Every day here, we as changemakers, learn a little something new about our city and how it can be better designed and run for the people living and working here.

We are now looking for someone who already looked up the definition of social innovation and is keen to experiment with it here in Hong Kong. Specifically, we want someone comfortable working within small teams to drive the delivery of consulting projects in the social and public sectors. This person gets to compile and maintain research findings as written reports, briefing notes and related documentation to support the project team in making informed decisions. Most importantly, we need this person to be a changemaker with a collaborative mindset who is always willing to flex the creative muscles to design innovative, user-centred, and grounded solutions in response to the needs of communities and people.

Your Responsibilities as Project Officer – Our Social Researcher

  • Assist in research on the subjects of museum management and social innovation to develop actionable and innovative recommendations;

  • Support in research tasks, including but not limited to data collection, desktop research, community outreach, and stakeholder engagement;

  • Support the project team to deliver high-quality research deliverables, such as reports, presentations, prototype experiments, and public engagement activities to articulate and illustrate insights and recommended solutions;

  • Assist community research activities including, for instance, stakeholder engagement planning and execution, workshop design and facilitation, data capture and analysis;

  • Comprehend and stay abreast of industry trends, leading perspectives, and best practices in museum management and social innovation, and make connections across the disciplines; and

  • Collaborate with small teams of high-performing, passionate social consultants to collectively achieve purposeful goals in creating social value.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in cultural studies, cultural management, museum studies, social sciences, humanities or related disciplines;

Phoebe 生活在香港這個大城市,眼見社會充斥著各種問題,卻不知道該如何著手解決。

然而,大學為她打開了一扇尋找答案的窗口。Phoebe 於香港浸會大學主修人文及創作系,在學期間得以廣泛閱讀、學習和反思,其學習範圍涵蓋文學、哲學、藝術、性別、媒體理論、文化論述、城市空間及設計等。

她覺悟到,要為社會帶來真正的改變,必先跳出書本和理論框架,親身投入和參與社區工作。為此,Phoebe 曾於媒體機構中擔任實習編輯,探究世界各地值得反思和討論的議題。她亦於不同文化藝術機構實習。由始至終,她緊抱一個信念:有人生活的地方就一定有解決問題的方法,社會才會在大家的合作和創變中成為我們理想的模樣。

Phoebe希望在未來能夠繼續本著「以人為本」的精神,活用創意改變社會。她提醒自己要努力成為一個身體力行、樂於面對挑戰的人,在堅持自己的信念中繼續向前行。

社會有時候會令人洩氣,她是一組無情的機械、自私的森林、會吃人的家庭。Leo 向來樂於抱怨,他總覺得,責罵一輪之後心情就會舒暢了。在新聞系裡翻書好幾年後,他發現自己可以為這個討人厭的社會做更多。

Leo 驚覺社會創新與設計思維可能就是讓市民喜愛上這社區的關鍵。問題並不是一日間湧現的,社區問題難以解決但不至無可救藥,對付老毛病可以靠新方法。要改善社區上不友善之處,最好能夠親身聆聽市民訴苦,從他們的罵聲中,找出能喚起社區各種可能的語句;如果他們願意的話,何不讓他們也共同執起繪畫社會的畫筆?社會正是如此不完美,才值得我們共同去托展邊界。Leo 公餘喜歡看電影,讀漫畫,近日正苦惱該如何學好攝影。

Project Manager

About Good Lab

Good Lab is a non-profit and award-winning social innovation consultancy in Hong Kong dedicated to inspiring and fostering positive social change through human-centred design and cross-sector collaboration.

As a think-and-do tank, our mission is to connect different minds and actions to bring innovative ideas to life. We design and implement social innovation projects and training programmes to build capacity for change and tackle complex social issues faced by our society–particularly around community design, youth empowerment, civic participation, service innovation, environmental sustainability, and social venture incubation.

Since 2012, we have been working at the intersection of civil society, NGOs, government, and businesses to facilitate innovative co-creation leveraging Design Thinking. Putting people first and facilitating dialogues are the DNA of our work, as we believe this is the answer to co-creating a more sustainable and better tomorrow.

We are now looking for a Project Manager to manage our growing and exciting array of new projects and partnerships.

About The Role – Project Manager

As a social innovation consultant at Good Lab, your typical day can involve the following—making phone calls to community members, dissecting information gathered from public engagement activities you designed and facilitated, researching new trends and perspectives in social innovation, co-creating actionable solutions with stakeholders to address community issues…most probably not sequentially but simultaneously. But that also means you will have the opportunities to get very hands-on in every stage of the projects and that work is rarely boring. Every day here, we as changemakers, learn a little something new about our city and how it can be better designed and run for the people living and working here.

We are now looking for someone who already looked up the definition of social innovation and is keen to experiment it here in Hong Kong. Specifically, we want a person who is comfortable with managing small teams to plan and deliver consulting projects with a focus on the public and social sectors. This person gets to set the tone of how the project team engages with its stakeholders, ranging from youth and elderly to government agencies, as well as professional and NGO collaborators. Most importantly, we need this person to be able to articulate Good Lab’s vision for the project and flex creative muscles to implement it with the aim to design innovative, user-centred, and grounded solutions in response to the needs of communities and people.

Your Role as Project Manager

  • Lead social innovation projects in collaboration with cross-sector project partners to co-create solutions and deliver lasting impact for local communities;
  • Build empathy with stakeholders and guide them through an innovative process of co-creation underpinned by Design Thinking;
  • Assume project management responsibilities including, for instance, project approach formulation, scoping, public engagement planning, budgeting, co-creation workshop design, data capture and analysis, as well as partner & stakeholder management;
  • Manage and coach teams of high-performing, passionate social consultants to align priorities, set directions, and collectively achieve purposeful goals in creating social value;
  • Identify aspirations and pain points of stakeholders through ethnographic research and community outreach; co-create novel solutions to community challenges based on analysis, experience, and judgement;
  • Produce high-quality deliverables—such as reports, presentations, design prototypes, and events—to articulate and illustrate insights and recommendations of actionable solutions;
  • Build relationships and instil confidence in project partners and stakeholders as their trusted collaborator and advisor;
  • Comprehend and stay abreast of industry trends in social innovation, leading perspectives and practices, as well as local and international cases; and
  • Identify new partnership opportunities and develop innovative forms of collaboration to tackle pressing issues in the social and public sectors of Hong Kong.

Requirements

  • Minimum five (5) years of experience in social and/or innovation project management in a leading position along with external partners and/or community stakeholders;
  • Experience in innovation and/or consulting, user research, community engagement, public administration, youth empowerment, training, coaching or related fields would be a strong advantage;
  • Bachelor’s degree or above in social sciences, management, humanities, arts or related disciplines;
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving competence with a commitment to high-quality service delivery;
  • Demonstrate the ability to juggle multiple work priorities, attention to detail, and outstanding organisational skills;
  • Excellent communications and interpersonal skills with the capacity to motivate and lead with enthusiasm, drive, and effectiveness;
  • Demonstrate the ability to collaborate and interact professionally with stakeholders of diverse backgrounds and interests;
  • Excellent proficiency in both spoken and written English and Cantonese (Traditional Chinese); fluency in Mandarin would be an advantage;
  • Excellent command of MS PowerPoint and Word;
  • A motivated team player with the ability to take self-initiatives in a dynamic and collaborative project environment;
  • An outgoing character with a proven track record of partnership development would be an advantage; and
  • Be able to work on weekends and flexible hours for specific Good Lab functions when required.

Candidates with less experience may be considered for a Project Officer position.

To Applicants: please send your Cover Letter and Resume with current and expected salary to hr@goodlab.hk. Application with missing information will not be considered. Only short-listed candidates will be notified. Data collected will be used for recruitment purposes only and personal data of unsuccessful applicants will be destroyed after 12 months.

About The Role – Project Manager (Public Sector Innovation)

As a social consultant at Good Lab, your typical day can involve the following—making phone calls to community members, dissecting information gathered from public engagement activities you designed and facilitated, researching new trends and perspectives in social innovation, co-creating actionable solutions with stakeholders to address community issues…most probably not sequentially but simultaneously. But that also means you will have the opportunities to get very hands on in every stage of the projects and that work is rarely boring.

You will be engaging directly with our partners to design and implement impact-driven programmes targeted at youth from all walks of life, and coordinate dialogues between multiple stakeholders in different communities. You will also get to inspire and develop young changemakers by arranging bespoke and engaging workshops, seminars and coaching sessions to build their capacities as caring, community-centred individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit. In addition, there will be opportunities to engage with and advise early-stage social start-ups, help them navigate their growth paths, and support their innovation journeys.

Your Role as Project Manager – Our Project Leader

  • Lead social innovation projects to facilitate the co-creation of impactful solutions with partners and collaborators for the local communities;
  • Build empathy with stakeholders and lead them through an innovative process of co-creation and mindset change underpinned by Design Thinking;

Project Officer

About Good Lab

Good Lab is a non-profit social innovation consultancy in Hong Kong dedicated to inspiring and fostering positive social change through human-centred design and cross-sector collaboration.

As a think-and-do tank, our mission is to connect different minds and actions to bring innovative ideas to life. We design and implement social innovation projects and training programmes to raise awareness of and tackle some of the most complex social issues faced by our society nowadays, particularly in the areas of community design, youth empowerment, civic participation, service innovation, environmental sustainability, and social venture incubation.

Since 2012, we have been working at the intersection of civil society, NGOs, Government, and businesses to facilitate innovative co-creation leveraging Design Thinking. Putting people first and facilitating dialogues are the DNA of our work, as we believe this is the answer to co-creating a more sustainable and better tomorrow.

We are now looking for a Project Officer to support our growing and exciting array of new projects and partnerships.

About The Role

As a social consultant at Good Lab, your typical day can involve the following—making phone calls to community members, dissecting information gathered from public engagement activities you designed and facilitated, researching new trends and perspectives in social innovation, co-creating actionable solutions with stakeholders to address community issues…most probably not sequentially but simultaneously. But that also means you will have the opportunities to get very hands on in every stage of the projects and that work is rarely boring. Every day here, we as changemakers, learn a little something new about our city of Hong Kong and how it can be better designed and run for the people in it.

We are now looking for someone who already looked up the definition of social innovation and is keen to experiment it here in Hong Kong. Specifically, we want a person who is comfortable with working within small teams to drive the delivery of consulting projects in the social and public sectors. This person gets to manage and engage with stakeholders, ranging from community members to design professionals, as well as partner organisations and collaborators. Most importantly, we need this person to be a changemaker with a collaborative mindset who is always willing to flex the creative muscles to design innovative, user-centred, and grounded solutions in response to the needs of communities and people.

Your Responsibilities as Project Officer—Our Social Consultant

  • Implement and support social innovation projects to facilitate the co-creation of impactful solutions with partners and collaborators for the local communities;
  • Build empathy with stakeholders and lead them through an innovative process of co-creation and mindset change underpinned by Design Thinking;
  • Assist project management activities including, for instance, project scoping & planning, engagement planning & execution, budgeting, workshop design & facilitation, event coordination, data analysis, as well as partner & stakeholder management;
  • Collaborate within small teams of high-performing, passionate social consultants to collectively achieve purposeful goals in creating social value;
  • Identify pain points and aspirations of stakeholders through research, dialogues and community outreach; co-create grounded solutions to challenges based on analysis, experience, and judgement;
  • Produce high-quality deliverables—such as reports, presentations, prototypes and events—to articulate and illustrate insights and recommendations of actionable solutions;
  • Build relationships and instil confidence in project partners and stakeholders as their trusted collaborator and advisor;
  • Comprehend and keep up-to-date on industry trends of social innovation, leading perspectives and best practices, as well as local and international cases; and
  • Support partnership development and new collaborations to tackle pressing issues in the social and public sectors of Hong Kong.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in social sciences, management, humanities, arts or related disciplines;
  • Minimum two (2) years of experience in social and/or innovation project delivery in collaboration with external partners and/or community stakeholders;
  • Experience in innovation and/or business consulting, user research, community engagement, public administration, service design, social entrepreneurship, youth empowerment or related fields would be a strong advantage;
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving competence with a commitment to high-quality service delivery; solid skills in quantitative and/or qualitative research;
  • Demonstrate the ability to juggle multiple work priorities, attention to details, and outstanding organisational skills;
  • Excellent communications and interpersonal skills with enthusiasm, drive and effectiveness;
  • Demonstrate the ability to collaborate and interact professionally with stakeholders of diverse backgrounds and interests;
  • Excellent proficiency in both spoken and written English and Cantonese (Traditional Chinese); fluency in Mandarin would be an advantage;
  • Excellent command on MS PowerPoint and Word;
  • A motivated team player with ability to take self-initiatives in a dynamic and collaborative project environment; and
  • Be able to work on weekends and flexible hours for Good Lab functions when required.

Candidates with more than five (5) years of relevant experience may be considered for a Project Manager position.

Senior Project Manager

About Good Lab

Good Lab is a leading social innovation consultancy in Hong Kong. We are a think-and-do-tank and focus on the social and public sectors – with a mission to bring different minds and actions together for change. Since 2012, we have been working at the intersection of civil society, NGOs, government, and businesses to foster cross-sector collaboration and facilitate co-creation through design thinking. We design and implement social innovation projects and training programmes to raise awareness and tackle some of the most complex social issues faced by our society nowadays, particularly in the areas of youth empowerment, social and community design, civic engagement, service innovation, environmental sustainability, and social venture incubation.

We are now looking for a Senior Project Manager to strategise and lead our growing and exciting array of new projects and partnerships.

About Senior Project Manager

As a social consultant at Good Lab, your typical day can involve the following – making phone calls to community members, dissecting information gathered from public engagement activities you designed and facilitated, researching new trends and perspectives in social innovation, co-creating actionable solutions with stakeholders to address community issues…most probably not sequentially but simultaneously. But that also means you will have the opportunities to get very hands-on in every stage of the projects and that work is rarely boring. Every day here, we as changemakers, learn a little something new about our city of Hong Kong and how it can be better designed and run for the people in it.

We are now looking for someone who already looked up the definition of social innovation and is keen to experiment it here in Hong Kong. Specifically, we want a person who is comfortable with managing small teams to plan and deliver consulting projects in the social and public sectors. This person gets to set the tone of how the project team engages with its stakeholders, ranging from youth and elderly to government agencies, as well as organisational partners. Most importantly, we need this person to be able to articulate Good Lab’s vision for the project and flex creative muscles to implement it with the aim to design innovative, user-centred, and grounded solutions in response to the needs of communities and people.

Your Role as Senior Project Manager – Our Project Leader

  • Design and lead large-scale social innovation projects with project partners and collaborators to co-create solutions and deliver lasting impact for local communities;
  • Build empathy with stakeholders and lead them through an innovative process of co-creation underpinned by design thinking;
  • Assume project management responsibilities including, for instance, project scoping, public engagement planning, budgeting, co-creation workshop design, data capture and analysis, as well as partner & stakeholder management;
  • Lead and coach teams of high-performing, passionate social consultants to align priorities, set directions, and collectively achieve purposeful goals in creating social value;
  • Identify pain points and aspirations of stakeholders through ethnographic research and community outreach; co-create grounded solutions to social problems based on analysis, experience, and judgement;
  • Produce high-quality deliverables – such as reports, presentations, design prototypes, and events – to articulate and illustrate insights and recommendations of actionable solutions;
  • Build relationships and instil confidence in project partners and stakeholders as their trusted collaborator and advisor;
  • Comprehend and keep up-to-date on industry trends of social innovation, leading perspectives and practices, as well as local and international cases; and
  • Identify new partnership opportunities and develop innovative forms of collaboration to tackle pressing issues in the social and public sectors of Hong Kong.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in social sciences, arts, management, humanities, or related disciplines;
  • Minimum six (6) years of experience in project and/or programme management in a leader capacity; experienced in managing collaboration with external partners, organisational clients, and/or community stakeholders;
  • Experience in innovation and/or business consulting, user research, community engagement, public service and administration, social entrepreneurship, or related work would be a strong advantage;
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving competence with a commitment to high-quality service delivery;
  • Demonstrate the ability to juggle multiple work priorities, attention to details, and outstanding organisational skills;
  • Excellent communications and interpersonal skills with the capacity to motivate and lead with enthusiasm, drive, and effectiveness;
  • Demonstrate the ability to partner and interact professionally with stakeholders of diverse backgrounds and interests;
  • Excellent proficiency in both spoken and written English and Cantonese (Traditional Chinese); fluency in Mandarin would be an advantage;
  • Experience in digital marketing, social media management, and/or copywriting would be a strong advantage;
  • Excellent command on MS PowerPoint and Word;
  • A motivated team player with the ability to take initiatives in a dynamic and collaborative project environment;
  • An outgoing character with a proven track record of partnership development would be an advantage; and
  • Be able to work on weekends and flexible hours for specific Good Lab functions when required.

Hedda Ngan

Hedda began her social impact journey as a volunteer in Sweden tutoring refugee students. Through hearing these young people’s stories of leaving home to seek safety in a foreign country, she learnt that regardless of the different backgrounds we come from, what we’re seeking is the same. Such also, is the beauty of social innovation – although the problems each society faces may be similar, there is a spectrum of possibilities in how we tackle them when we work with different people to co-create solutions. After working in the asylum seeker space for six years, Hedda journeyed on to explore other ways of looking at societal challenges and is currently coordinating the design thinking training program at Good Lab. When she’s not building PowerPoint decks, she’ll be pretending to be a hipster at the local café or trying to convince friends to binge watch a Scandinavian detective series.

Hedda holds a BA (Linguistics) from The University of Melbourne and is currently studying a Masters in Social Impact.

Douglas熱衷跨文化的對話交流。畢業於香港浸會大學傳理學院,喜愛與來自不同文化和界別的人,一起激盪出嶄新的社會項目——夥拍聾人和健聽的年輕人,創作色彩繽紛的氣球工藝;聯同專家和村民,構思別開生面的社區計劃。

Douglas是一個旅行家,希望遊遍世界每一個角落。走入陌生的地方,摸索著不熟悉的語言,與當地尋常人家分享交流,這些點滴時光,最令人回味(比起在海灘喝一杯的快感,有過之而無不及,雖然這也是人生一大快事)。他相信人與人之間的連結,從賣烤肉的小販,到搭上同一班火車的旅客,他遇上的每一個人,也會帶來啟發。

他也是個長跑好手,可以連跑數小時而不覺厭倦,因為從中他學到最重要的一課:只要相信夢想,永不言棄,堅持下來便有轉機。

「你能想像到的一切都是真實的。」

Lydia覺得社會創新可以拉闊想像,總是能夠促成別開生面的跨界協作,實踐過去難以想像的事情。藉著這種協同效應,有助開發不同界別的資源,為本地以至世界各地的社會政治僵局,帶來嶄新的解決方案。

Lydia的職業生涯是一趟充滿挑戰、瞬息萬變的旅程。加入Good Lab 好單位之前,她曾在一所媒體新聞部工作了兩年,擔任記者及電視節目監制,參與製作聚焦時事的專題報導,包括民間閒置空間的運用、有特殊學習需要的低收入家庭兒童等。她畢業後的首份工作是在政府擔任公職人員,初涉公共行政。

在大學時期,Lydia已對都市主義和建築環境產生興趣。對於城市景觀、不同社群和城市重要持份者之間的互動,她感到相當好奇,不禁要問:到底需要什麼條件,才能創造有趣的城市?而更重要的是,如何通過改變本地的都市空間,讓香港這個家成為更宜居的城市?2016年,她和香港大學的朋友共同創辦了「未來城市峰會」,現時為年度大會,旨在召集本地和各區域的創變夥伴,通過交流對話,創造更好的城市。 

工作以外,Lydia享受在香港的大街小巷散步,閱讀大量小說和短篇故事,愛好美食,歡迎來問她有什麼心水餐廳!

Etienne, with her training in History at Lingnan University, regards innovation as crucial in all time – as we witness the failure of the old fashioned and the success of the innovators throughout the course of history. She believes social innovation can transform the society with a positive impact through collaborations and dialogues in the communities, and everyone can take initiatives to be a changemaker while influencing each other. She is also concerned about a range of social problems, particularly human rights and environmental issues.

Before joining Good Lab, Etienne developed her career in the non-profit sector of Hong Kong and had spent two years working at a retail business in London. She enjoys travelling, going to the theatre and gym for leisure.

Vincent Wong

  • Founder & CEO, Solution-On-Wheels

Innovation is the reconciliation of opposing forces. In a city full of dilemmas, Vincent believes social innovation is the only way out, and “solution journalism” is what he is passionately advocating for.

He founded Solution-On-Wheels, a social enterprise promoting solution journalism in Asia, to explore and analyse solutions in the news to solve complex, often intractable, social issues. He aspires to create a positive mindset shift for news professionals – to present social issues through a “solution frame” rather than a “problem frame”, focusing on the practical and human elements of social innovation to allow some of the most divisive views to co-exist in harmony, facilitating constructive dialogues in the community.

Vincent has been trained to think creatively and critically ever since he was young, and he is dedicated to galvanising public, corporate and non-profit partners with the spirit of social innovation. He started his career at Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, and joined the HKSAR Government until 2000. As Administrative Officer, he worked on issues around town planning and social welfare, and had a deep understanding of contending interests across sectors.

Vincent was the Director of Strategic Planning at Hong Kong Commercial Broadcasting Company. He is currently hosting the radio programme “Our Way Out” on Commercial Radio One and television programme “Open Mind” on Open TV. His book, Macro-creativity, was recognised as “Hong Kong Good Book” in 2005, followed by the launch of The Transformation of Hong Kong in 2012. Vincent received his MBA from the University of Cambridge and an LL.B. from the University of London.

蘇啟龍先生

  • 前效率促進組專員

「如果科技繼續按照現時的方向發展,忽視窮人的需要,助長富人的利益,窮人遲早會起來推翻科技的霸權,轉投非理性和暴力的手段,以改弦易轍。」科學家和思想家弗里曼‧戴森(Freeman Dyson)在1997年寫下這個洞見。Kim 對戴森的話有很深的體會,尤其喚起他在英、美的成長經驗,以及其後在香港長達40年的生活和工作生涯所帶來的省思。戴森的話更是一個叩問:我們能否引領科技的潮流,導向改善市民生活的方向發展,為我們的社會帶來希望?答案在於創新。創新不是指技術層面,而是社會各界攜手合作的方式。在這個問題上,Kim 最喜愛的作家戴森帶來啟廸:「在各行各業中,業餘愛好者享有更多實驗和創新的自由。業餘愛好者所佔的人口比例,正好標誌著社會的自由度」。由此,我們不需要專業的社會創新者,因為每個人都可以成為社創人才。

在英國的歲月,Kim 曾經做過酒保、造船工人、工廠工人、倉務員和考古學家。1980年來港,擔任公務員長達 37 年,在公職生涯中,曾任職效率促進辦公室,並協助成立社會創新及創業發展基金。退休後,Kim 持續關注城市和社會議題,以及各界組織如何分享知識,聆聽社會需要,不斷學習改進。他好讀不倦,愛好歷史研究和偵探小說,閒時喜歡為他收藏的迷你玩具士兵上色。
