The Head of Government affirmed that digital transformation is a new, difficult, and complicated issue, requiring the absorption of international achievements and experiences and creative application, suitable to Vietnam's specific conditions and circumstances; must have breakthrough thinking, strategic vision, promote the spirit of self-reliance, solidarity, initiative, creativity, dare to think, dare to do for the common good; innovate the way of doing things associated with the responsibility of the leader.
According to the Prime Minister, digital transformation is a key task that must be carried out regularly and continuously at all levels, sectors and localities, with the active participation of all people; implemented in all fields and professions but must have a focus and key points, avoiding the situation of "a hundred flowers blooming", avoiding overlap, scattered investment and waste.
Vice Chairman of the National Committee on Digital Transformation, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung also said: "Digital transformation is comprehensive digitalization and then changing the way the organization operates. If the leader does not directly participate, does not directly direct, does not directly do, does not directly use, does not directly transform himself, it will not be successful."
Explaining the role of the leader in determining the success of digital transformation, the Minister of Information and Communications analyzed that digital transformation is a revolution of change rather than a revolution of technology: 70% is change, 30% is technology. Therefore, if digital transformation wants to be successful, the decision is that the leader wants to change. To change an organization, only the leader has enough authority, prestige and power to direct resources to implement. Only the leader has the ability to break old habits to transform digitally.
The leader must not only direct but also directly do and use. Digital transformation is an experience, if the leader does not use digital tools in daily work, it will be very difficult to direct digital transformation.
All three elements, really wanting to do it, doing it directly, and mastering it, are equally important and decisive.
According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung's assessment, after 4 years of digital transformation in our country, the technological factors to implement digital transformation are basically ready, there have been some very encouraging initial successes, now the decision to decide the success of the national digital transformation will be the leaders at all levels, especially the Ministers and Chairmen of Provincial People's Committees.
To assist Ministries, sectors and localities in implementing the goals assigned by the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Information and Communications has established an address to announce successful experiments, Ministries, sectors and localities that have done it successfully, or international Case Studies, how they did it, successful lessons, which companies did it, how long it took, and possibly even the price and effectiveness achieved.
Sharing some initial results of the digital transformation process of Hanoi City, Mr. Ha Minh Hai, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee, Deputy Head of the Steering Committee for administrative reform, digital transformation of Hanoi City and Project 06 said that in nearly 2 years, the city has achieved many positive results in the digital transformation process and implementation of Project 06 of the Government.
In particular, Hanoi has successfully piloted electronic health records and issued criminal records via VNeID in the area, serving as a basis for the Government to deploy nationwide; social security payment services and non-cash pension payments have also been deployed synchronously, effectively and basically reached over 90% so far.
Models such as piloting cashless parking and paying for public services via dynamic QR codes have brought efficiency and many conveniences to people.
In particular, Hanoi has built and put into use the app 'Digital Capital Citizen iHaNoi'; to date iHaNoi has had more than 1 million users, becoming an effective online interaction channel between people, businesses and the city government. The deployment of the iHaNoi app not only helps to reduce administrative procedures but also enhances transparency and efficiency in management and service to the people.
Statistics show that the city currently has nearly 5,000 digital technology enterprises; e-commerce has grown strongly with revenue increasing by 40% over the same period in 2023; electronic tax declaration and payment in Hanoi reached 99%; more than 90% of large enterprises in Hanoi have switched to cashless payments, contributing to improving management and business efficiency.
Regarding digital society, nearly 5,000 community digital transformation teams with more than 30,000 members have been actively working, bringing digital transformation to every corner, knocking on every door, helping people grasp and experience digital services. More than 60% of the working-age population has been trained in basic digital skills, creating a solid foundation for building a generation of smart digital citizens.
It can be said that the Prime Minister's recent direct work with the heads of ministries, branches and localities has demonstrated the high determination of the head of the Government on digital transformation. Considering digital transformation as the main content of science and technology and innovation. Considering digital transformation as high-quality development. Considering digital transformation as the main driving force for growth. Considering data as the main production factor of the digital economy. Considering digital transformation as the main solution for rapid and sustainable growth. Considering digital transformation as a new method of national governance. Considering digital transformation as a national competitive advantage. If it is so important, the leader must get involved. The leader must really want to do it, do it directly and be proficient in using it, which is a decisive factor for success.
