The thing to do in digital transformation is to formulate quantitative indicators to convert to “digital thinking” … Only then, new decisions will be highly effective and there is no room for friendship to dominate. Building a digital nation and developing a digital economy is placed as a focus in Document of the 13th Party Congress to motivate Vietnam to become a high-income developed country. This issue was also heatedly discussed in the first few days of the Congress. This is a very right development path choice in the current political, economic and social situation in the world and in the region. From the development experience of several decades, the world has realized that only high quality human resources associated with high technology can create high performance for development to rise ahead of the future. 
Only high quality human resources associated with high technology can create high efficiency The question “what will be after industry?” has been in place since the industrialization process created a group of 7 developed industrialized countries. About five or seven years ago, public opinion was noisy about the term 4.0 technology according to the German calling given on the World Economic Forum. After a while, people discussed the content of “generation 4.0” including “artificial intelligence” (AI) and “Internet of things connecting things” (IoT). In recent years, development has turned to digital economy, digital technology, digital nation … Three books and 3 heads of state The first person to talk about technology as the driving force behind human development was Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist. He spent 30 years (1960 – 1990) researching, generalizing, drawing rules and forecasting development with three world-famous books: Future Shock (1970), Third Wave (1980). ) and power ups and downs (1990). The content of all 3 books is just to point out that: Humans started with the era of agriculture; mechanical technology made machines replace manual labor to create the industrial era; Next, information technology has created machines to replace human intellectual labor to create the information age. The information age is the third wave after agriculture, then industry, making human beings have to make fundamental changes like a great shock in the future to develop. For each of these epochs there is a different form of power: Force is the form of power in the agricultural and financial era in the industrial age and intelligence in the information age. These three books have attracted great attention to the heads of many countries, especially Zhao Ziyang (then Prime Minister of China), Lee Kuan Yew (Prime Minister of Singapore) and Kim Dae Jung (President of Korea). ). These three heads of state invited Alvin Toffler for private talks. All three countries have now become newly industrialized countries, are in the top group of the world in terms of digital nation construction and digital economic development from being an outdated agricultural country in the 1960s. I have 8 years of collaborative scientific research in Poland (1980 – 1988), so I have access to 3 books by Alvin Toffler quite early. Since then, after returning home, I have decided to carry out “digital reform” in the field of geographic information production in our country. Completion of digital technology transformation since 2000 In 1989, I introduced satellite positioning (GPS) technology to ground measurement after US President Bill Clinton issued a decision to allow the use of GPS for military purposes only. . At that time, our country was still being embargoed, having difficulty in accessing technology on all sides. Today, GPS is so universal that it’s attached to every smart device to locate every activity. From the success in the reform of geolocation technology, to the year 2000 I completed the conversion of all terrestrial imaging equipment from airplanes, satellites; ground measuring equipment; digital data processing equipment. By 2010, all geographic data of Vietnam have been established in the form of digital information. I have been conferred the title of Labor Hero by the State President in the Doi Moi period for this achievement. A few weeks ago, a friend working at the Department of Geodesy, Maps and Geographic Information told me that his superiors had come down to the Department to work on digital transformation. The director replied that the digital transformation here has been completed since 2000. The work ends soon. Listen to stories, I am also happy From qualitative to quantitative Looking back at the experience of digital development in the world and ourselves, it can be seen that artificial intelligence is playing the role of a machine replacing human intellectual labor, making an important breakthrough for development. Associated with artificial intelligence, all information must be in digital form. Human intelligence is biased towards qualitative thinking, often dominated by love or hate, which loses its honesty and objectivity. All judgments and judgments often lack scientific quantitative basis, many cases lead to wrong decisions. On the other hand, artificial intelligence thinks quantitatively, every decision made is sufficiently valid after analyzing the data. Wrong decisions can only happen when the data is wrong. Currently, the world has launched a huge system of indicators to evaluate every process, every industry, every activity, every country. Every year, the World Bank publishes a document called “World Index” with millions of indexes to evaluate thousands of fields of hundreds of countries. Such indicators are a valid basis for each country to evaluate themselves at what level in each field, and then make appropriate adjustment decisions. This is the essence of “digital thinking”. Human thinking must also change from qualitative to quantitative. That is the digital transformation of thinking. Our country currently lacks the system of indicators necessary to evaluate and decide. Everything is still in a state of qualitative thinking. The thing to do in digital transformation is to form quantitative indicators to convert thinking into “digital thinking” as a habit in development until it becomes “digital culture”. Only then can decisions be highly effective and there is no room for friendship to dominate.
