Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tuyen - Deputy Director of the Department of Information Technology Industry, Ministry of Information and Communications.

Sharing about the opportunities that digital transformation brings to state-owned enterprises, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tuyen - Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications Technology Industry, Ministry of Information and Communications said that digital transformation brings businesses high growth potential; integrates data and intelligent analysis; creates value for customers; changes traditional business models; increases connectivity and interaction; and continuously innovates to maintain a competitive position.

Mr. Tuyen emphasized that these factors will become the driving force in promoting the digital transformation of society and economy.

In addition, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tuyen also said that currently, digital transformation still faces many difficulties such as high investment costs for digital transformation, "the first problem is where is the money", besides, businesses also have business habits that are difficult to change; lack of commitment from leaders; or even a situation where "the top directs, the bottom does not listen, lack of commitment from employees", lack of internal human resources, lack of infrastructure, lack of digital technology information, lack of clear digital transformation roadmap... All of these factors are hindering the digital transformation process in businesses.

Mr. Le Nguyen Truong Giang, Director of Digital Transformation Strategy Institute (DTSI) - Vietnam Digital Communications Association.

Speaking at the workshop, Mr. Le Nguyen Truong Giang, Director of the Digital Transformation Strategy Institute (DTSI) - Vietnam Digital Communications Association, said that state-owned enterprises are facing many challenges in the digital transformation process.

First of all, there is the challenge from the legal corridor. Because state-owned enterprises have very strict regulations, rules and control methods, these are factors that create barriers that make the digital transformation process subject to many constraints, not easy to succeed.

The shift in operations during digital transformation also generates large investments, but the investment decision-making process in the state-owned enterprise sector is very slow and multi-level, making it difficult to build digital initiatives according to a fast-growing model or build new investment ecosystems for testing.

Digital transformation requires a holistic view, a holistic approach, and is only successful and effective with a total impact of all transformation elements working together. However, this is a major obstacle in the decision-making mechanism at state-owned enterprises...

To address the above challenges, the Institute of Digital Transformation Strategy has built and developed a platform strategy through building a foundational data architecture for digital transformation of enterprises.

Mr. Le Nguyen Truong Giang emphasized that there is no specific digital transformation model or method suitable for all businesses and organizations. Digital transformation is a revolution in thinking, requiring businesses to proactively innovate and create based on the frameworks of rules and principles of the digital transformation process to shape strategies and models suitable to the characteristics of the business.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Kien - Deputy General Director of VNPT Information Technology Company - Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group.

Sharing in the discussion session, Mr. Nguyen Duc Kien - Deputy General Director of VNPT Information Technology Company under Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group said that state-owned enterprises need determination to transform digitally.

In the process of economic development in the new era, especially for enterprises in the process of digital transformation, the coordination between enterprises and the State is extremely important. Business leaders need to have great determination, dare to think and dare to do. At the same time, the State, in addition to closely monitoring and managing, should also create conditions for enterprises to develop.

The workshop was attended by experts, business corporations, experienced people, pioneers and very successful in the field of digital transformation.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the workshop, Mr. Vu Hai Quang - Deputy General Director of Voice of Vietnam said that Vietnam has identified building an e-Government, towards a digital government, digital society and digital economy as one of the top priorities in the 2016-2020 period to create a solid foundation for comprehensive digital transformation in the 2021-2030 period.

To build a digital government, digital society and digital economy, it is impossible without businesses applying digital technology in management, operation and production and business, in which state-owned enterprises must be the locomotives, leading private enterprises and leading the entire economy.

The Deputy General Director of Voice of Vietnam affirmed that for businesses to successfully transform digitally, in addition to internal efforts and determination of the leader, they cannot lack the support and guidance of experts and businesses specializing in digital transformation.
