So on 22 Mar 2017, being one of the few rare free days that I have, I attend the Business Times’ Leaders’ Forum on Disruption and Transformation. Simply because I badly needed to do some non-wine networking and I was interested to find out what ideas could be generated for a small-timer like me.

So the theme of the day really was about digital disruption and transformation. The implication is continuous life-long learning and skilling. For me the biggest take-away was to always think about value-add, leveraging on technology and never be afraid to be humble and learn.

How about this thought for wine collectors – all your wine bottles tagged with RFID chips that contain detailed information about each bottle. One wave of the RFID wand and stock-taking is done. The results are sent to a cloud and synchronised with a customised mobile app, no more manual input. The app futher syncs with CellarTracker / Wine Market Journal and wine values are also updated.
