Minister Nguyen Manh Hung: Digital transformation is a revolution of change rather than a revolution of technology.

Regarding the decisive role of the leader in digital transformation . Digital transformation is 70% change, 30% technology. Digital transformation is a revolution of change rather than a revolution of technology. Therefore, if digital transformation wants to succeed, the leader must decide to change. To change an organization, only the leader has enough authority, prestige and power to direct resources to implement it. Only the leader has the ability to break old habits to digitalize.

Digital transformation is an experience. If leaders do not use digital tools in their daily work, it will be very difficult to direct digital transformation work. Minister Nguyen Manh Hung

The leader must not only direct but also directly do and use it. Digital transformation is an experience. If the leader does not use digital tools in his daily work, it will be very difficult to direct digital transformation work. The Chinese say about digital transformation as follows: the leader must really want to do it, do it directly and be proficient in using it.

All three elements, really wanting to do it, doing it directly, and mastering it, are equally important and decisive.

In Digital Transformation, Transformation is a noun and Digital is an adjective. Digital technology is just a supporting tool to carry out the transformation. Digital Transformation is comprehensive digitalization and then changes 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.

In Vietnam, after 4 years of industrialization, the basic technological factors to implement industrialization are ready, there have been some very encouraging initial successes. Now, the decision to decide the success of the national industrialization process will be the leaders at all levels.

McKinsey's research on the success of digital transformation in organizations shows that the involvement and strong direction of the leader will increase the success rate of digital transformation by 1.6-1.8 times. The success rate will increase by 3.1 times if digital transformation has a clear plan, specific goals and the leader directly implements and uses it.

Digital transformation is the job of the leader, and not only that, it is the daily job of the leader. Minister Nguyen Manh Hung

Digital transformation is a leader’s job, and not just that, it is a leader’s daily job. Through the daily use of digital tools, leaders will discover the need for innovation and continuously set new requirements for digital transformation.

Regarding the institutionalization of digital transformation in sectors and fields to accelerate national digital transformation. Each law of sectors and fields must have a chapter on activities in the digital environment. Cyberspace (CSR) is increasingly becoming the main space for human activities. This is a new space, different from real space, many new activities, many innovations are taking place here. When amending or creating a new institution, an article or a chapter on the activities of that field on CSR must be added. Digital transformation must be institutionalized in sectors and fields so that people in those sectors and fields can firmly believe in strong digital transformation. The Ministry of Information and Communications, when giving legal opinions to other ministries and sectors, should pay attention to this content.

About the most important keyword in the industrialization era. The most important keyword in the industrialization era is "cooperation". In the industrialization era, innovation is decisive. Innovation is never in one place. It is everywhere. No business or organization, no matter how big, can cover all of society's innovation.

Large enterprises and large organizations are organizations that create platforms for people to create services and collect platform service fees. Especially our telecommunications infrastructure enterprises must expand cooperation, create connection platforms, platforms to support individuals and SMEs to create new services to provide to their subscribers, rather than just developing new services themselves.

In the era of digital transformation, innovation is decisive. Innovation never stays in one place. No business or organization, no matter how large, can cover all of society's innovation. Minister Nguyen Manh Hung

Can you be as creative as thousands, tens of thousands of businesses or millions of individuals out there? Just create a connection platform, a development platform, a service providing platform and enjoy 20-30% of the revenue. If you do it yourself, you will enjoy 100% but you can only make a hundred things, but if you open up tens of thousands of things, the revenue will be 30 times larger. And more than that, the services that outside businesses create are always more creative, better quality, and more practical value for customers.

The same goes for press agencies and publishing agencies. It's time to turn ourselves into platforms, platforms for people to write and publish. Instead of us doing the job, there are only 40,000 people doing the job of journalism and publishing. In journalism and publishing, 70-80% of the work is not writing or creating. If there is a platform that can support 70-80% of this "cooking" part, then journalism and publishing will be easier, and more people can do it, maybe 4,000,000 people. If these 4 million people participate in creativity, it will probably be better than 40,000 creative people. CQBC will become an editing profession rather than a writing profession. The number of writers increases 100 times, CQBC charges 20-30%, the revenue will be larger, there will be more products to edit, if we create support platforms to make journalism and publishing easier, 4 million people can participate, and then, press agencies and publishers will have raised themselves to a new height, a different class.
