In a panel session, Lung explained operators have traditionally struggled to build and generate revenue from new sectors \u201cat least in a short period of time\u201d. They also face \u201cchallenges in incubating and developing new talents\u201d.<\/p>\n
He advised operators to transform their internal structures to \u201coperate in an agile manner while focusing on the right skill sets that are needed\u201d including data scientists.<\/p>\n
