Also attending were Deputy Ministers of Information and Communications; leaders of units under the Ministry of Information and Communications; representatives of leaders of a number of central press agencies; representatives of enterprises operating in the field of information and communications technology (ICT)... The most important keyword of the digital transformation era is "cooperation". Speaking at the conference, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung shared deeply about digital transformation, saying that in digital transformation, it is necessary to focus on piloting and then popularizing. Piloting should be focused, focusing on where breakthroughs can be made, with attention to how it is done, policy support and evaluation.

Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung speaks at the conference.

After a successful pilot, it is necessary to quickly popularize it nationwide. This stage needs to set goals, quality standards... and only manage according to goals, and this is also the stage to evaluate cadres on implementation capacity. "The value of digital transformation increases exponentially, only when it is popularized can the success of digital transformation and the value brought by digital transformation be determined," Minister Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized. The Minister especially noted the important role of the leader in the success of digital transformation when change accounts for 70% and technology accounts for 30%. For digital transformation to be successful, the decision is made by the leader. The leader must be the one who wants to change, only the leader has enough prestige, authority and power to direct resources for implementation, only the leader has the ability to break the old. "The leader must not only direct but also directly do and directly use digital tools. Digital transformation is an experience. If the leader does not use digital technologies, it will be difficult to direct digital transformation work," the Minister stated, citing China's view on digital transformation: "The leader must really want to do it, the leader must do it directly, and the leader must be proficient in using it."

For digital transformation to be successful, the leader must decide. The leader must be the one who wants to change, only the leader has enough prestige, authority and power to direct resources to implement, only the leader has the ability to break the old.

The leader must really want to do it, the leader must do it directly, and the leader must be proficient in using it.

According to the Minister, all three elements play an equally important and decisive role. Digital technology is only a tool to support transformation, digital transformation is comprehensive digitalization, if the leader does not directly participate, directly do, directly use and directly transform himself, it will be difficult to successfully transform digitally. For more information, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung said that in Vietnam, after 4 years of digital transformation, some initial successes have been very remarkable, but the leaders at all levels will decide the success of the national digital transformation. "The participation and strong direction of the leader will increase the success rate of digital transformation from 1.6 to 1.8 times. But the success rate will increase 3.1 times if digital transformation has a clear plan, specific goals and the leader directly does it," the Minister said, citing McKinsey's research on the success of digital transformation of organizations. In addition, the Minister also emphasized the importance of cooperation in digital transformation. Accordingly, in the digital transformation era, innovation is decisive, and innovation is never in one place, it is everywhere. No matter how large a business or organization is, it cannot cover all of society's innovation. Along with digital transformation, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung took the time to share about virtual assistants and the concern of many people today is whether artificial intelligence (AI) technology can replace and exceed human control.

The Minister emphasized the point of view: No matter how smart AI is, it is just an assistant, a helper for humans. AI is used to create virtual assistants. The Ministry of Information and Communications hopes that in the future, every Vietnamese person will have a virtual assistant. At that time, the virtual assistant will become a helper for each person, helping them work better, freeing people from old tasks, and spending time doing new things that they did not have time to do before. At the conference, delegates watched a video about the results of national digital transformation in the first 6 months of 2024 and listened to an introduction to the book "Summary of Digital Transformation - Strategy & Roadmap" by author David L. Rogers - the most influential "brain" on digital transformation (translated by Pham Anh Tuan). The book provides readers with actionable strategies and clear roadmaps, appropriate for different stages of digital transformation, the importance of adapting strategies in different organizational contexts, while maintaining flexibility in execution.
