Families are a type of teams, and as a Master programme in Family Wealth Management, learning how to collaborate with others is an integral part of our curriculum. As part of our student induction, newly admitted HKU Master of Family Wealth Management (“FWM”) students attended an Offsite Retreat from August 29 to 30, 2024 to explore the importance of group dynamics. Through team games, lectures, and discussions, our students got to know each other better and, more importantly, learned how to collaborate in teams.
During the Retreat, we were honoured to have Prof. Bonnie Hayden Cheng, Associate Professor of HKU Business School and expert on organizational behaviour, deliver insightful lectures on team theories, conflict management and working with different personality types to our FWM students.
Moreover, we want to express our special thanks for the words of wisdom from our distinguished faculty panel: Prof. Zhiwu Chen, Prof. John Wong, Prof. Chicheng Ma, Prof. Ghassan Moazzin and Ms. Maggie Chen to our students.
Thank you all for your participation! We are confident that our student teams are now well-equipped to explore the dynamic world of family wealth in the year ahead.
