It can help individuals, businesses, organizations or governments make internal decisions and provide the basis for a wide range of policy making.

Over the past two and a half years, companies in South China have been dealt a series of hardships stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic that has put additional pressure on them. At the same time, with the development of the COVID-19, people's accustomed working ways and thinking patterns are constantly being subverted, and their concerns and expectations for the workplace are also changing unprecedentedly. For a long time, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as a highly developed economic region in China, has been very attractive to local and international talents. The government has introduced a series of talent policies in the GBA, but these policies are affected by the epidemic and face many challenges.

Data security and cross-border transfers of data are essential for of business activities and encourage innovation. Companies constantly use data generated from R&D or collected from customers in different locations to improve their products or develop new ones, often relying on teams based across the world.

Over the past years, China has considerably strengthened cybersecurity, data, and personal information protection governance. In 2017, the Cybersecurity Law (CSL) came to force outlining various obligations to network operators and internet service providers. In 2021, the CSL was complemented by Data Security Law (DSL) and the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), stipulating a series of obligations not only for actors based in China but also for those based elsewhere yet processing data or personal information generated in China. When doing business in China, SMEs need to be aware of the regulations they must follow to be compliant with cybersecurity and data protection system.

The operation and development of an enterprise is a series of process of solving problems. The effect of solving problems will directly determine the efficiency of an enterprise. Solving problems does not rely solely on experience, let alone on a flash of inspiration to solve, there must be a set of methods that can be replicated. Because in the industrial age, a few "smart people" made decisions and other "robots" followed the instructions. However, in the current era of VUCA, each team member is a "wisdom cloud", far smarter than us, and they need more participation. In the process of solving problems, there is no consensus without participation, no commitment without consensus, no responsibility without commitment, no responsibility without implementation, and no result without implementation.

企业的运营与发展就是一系列解决问题的过程，问题解决的效果将直接决定着企业的效益；解决问题不是单单依靠经验，更不是靠拍脑袋、灵光一现来解决，一定需要一套可以复制的方法。因为在工业时代，少数“聪明人”决策，其他“机器人”按照指令执行。而在当下这个 VUCA 时代，每位团队成员都是一朵“智慧云”，远比我们聪明，他们要更多的参与，在解决问题的过程中，没有参与就没有共识，没有共识就没有承诺，没有承诺就没有责任，没有责任就没有执行，没有执行就没有结果。
