# Gaining Full Visibility of Operations and Carbon Costs Seminar Rising costs, fluctuating delivery schedules, and increasingly complex cross-regional operations—together with ESG requirements such as the EU’s introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP)—have made carbon emissions and carbon costs a growing pressure. These factors are continuously eroding the profitability and competitiveness of Hong Kong manufacturers. If companies continue to rely on manual processes and fragmented systems, management will find it difficult to gain a timely and holistic view of both operational and carbon costs, establish effective management practices, and make critical decisions. In this seminar, the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), together with Epicor, will focus on new quality productive forces, exploring how enterprises can enhance supply chain transparency and predictability through data-driven management. The session will also demonstrate how to strengthen cost control, stabilise delivery, and address ESG requirements and global competitive challenges.\ Register Here: [LINK](https://campaigns.hkpc.org/gaining-full-visibility-of-operations-and-carbon-costs-1)

This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
