Digital Transformation Awareness Course Recognizing this importance, recently, EVNNPT has organized an awareness raising course on digital transformation in the form of direct and online to 50 bridge points in localities. This is one of the important tasks in implementing the digital transformation of EVNNPT in the period to 2025. Speaking at the course, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Tung – Chairman of EVNNPT Member Council emphasized: Digital transformation is an important task, an inevitable foundation for the application of the achievements of Industry 4.0 in the fields of operation of EVNNPT. ; consistent with the undertakings and policies of the Party and Government; This is an urgent task that should be given top priority in the activities of EVNNPT in the current period and in the coming time. At the course, leaders, officers, and employees of EVNNPT heard about general information about digital transformation, digital economy, digital society in the country and the world; clearly distinguish between digitizing and converting numbers; practical experience in digital transformation in domestic enterprises. In fact, on the basis of implementing Resolution 134-NQ / ĐU of EVNNPT Party Committee dated June 17, 2019 on promoting research and technology application of Industry 4.0 in the field of power transmission, training Raising awareness about digital transformation has been implemented by EVNNPT very early.

According to Mr. Nguyen Tuan Tung, digital transformation at EVNNPT is to carry out the transformation of perception, digital human resources, digital business processes and application of digital technology at the same time. To facilitate digital transformation, EVNNPT has gradually reviewed and adjusted business processes to allow computerization, reducing reports and paper records; to promulgate policies to promote innovation, creation and application of digital technologies in the power transmission field. In 2020, EVNNPT has completed building an information technology (IT) capacity framework in the digital era and in 2021 will conduct training and assessment of basic IT application skills specified in Clause 1, Article 2.

EVNNPT strives that by 2021, most EVNNPT officers and employees will firmly grasp the guidelines, orientations and tasks on the roadmap to change EVNNPT arguments; have basic understanding of digital transformation; have the habit of being ready for number conversion; have basic IT application skills.

From the experience of some successful countries in digital transformation, identifying the characteristics of the 4.0 era, the authors offer a solution to the problem of human resources and talents for Vietnam to successfully convert numbers. LTS: Industrial revolution 4.0 opens a new era of development. There, a country that cares about building human resources, talent that quickly adapts to the times, knows how to use advanced technology and constantly innovates, that country will win in this fierce competition. We have synergistic advantages that not all countries have. Due to historical circumstances, we have a plentiful amount of overseas Vietnamese intellectual resources. Hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese scientists, experts and engineers are in countries with advanced science, many of whom are great experts, famous professors, and excellent engineers in human intelligence. Create is working for major industrial corporations, leading universities and research institutes in the world.

These viable factors do not turn into power by themselves, but require wise and creative leadership, organization and combination, knowing how to choose and focus resources on priority goals to create. so the synergy brought the country to a breakthrough. Those advantages are only brought into play when we have a contingent of talented, caring and competent national leaders. Challenges for human resources Besides advantages, our human resources have many limitations and weaknesses. Specifically, the number of untrained human resources is too large, accounting for 75% of the workforce, about 45 million people, which is a rather gloomy picture if we do not quickly equip the right skills. The World Economic Forum’s 2018 report assesses that our human resources are not ready for the 4.0 era, ranked 70 out of 100 countries. Also due to the low skill and nature of labor, our people are vulnerable to technological breakthroughs, losing their jobs and being replaced by automation, intelligent robots, and artificial intelligence. The number of 25% trained also has many problems. Vocational training quality ranks 80/100 countries, only higher than Cambodia (92/100), highly skilled human resources are also in the bottom group, ranking 81/100 countries. We are also close to the penultimate of 90 out of 100 countries in technology and innovation, especially the labor productivity is too low, only 7% of Singapore … Not to mention that there will be a large number of talented people. to other countries if we do not have a clear improvement in the working environment and regimes, policies … Furthermore, the manufacturing base is not ready for Industry 4.0, which belongs to the group of the book team, the average score is 4.9 / 10 – below the average, of which the production structure index is 4.96 / 10. ranked 48/100 countries, production motivation index reached 4.93 / 10, ranked 53rd. Two difficult human resources problems In order to bring into play the advantages and to overcome and overcome the challenges, we have to solve 3 very difficult problems at the same time. Firstly, the requirements for developing skilled human resources and talented people who are ready for digital transformation are extremely large, both in quantity and quality, while the education and training system, especially the elite. Study and vocational training are still weak and cannot be overcome overnight. Second, we need to maintain a consistently high GDP growth rate (over 7% / year) to reach the goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045, while the GDP growth momentum tends to slow down. over the 10-year span in the 1991-2018 period as pointed out by economist Tran Dinh Thien. Third, we need to develop and fully exploit advanced technology and constantly innovate, towards an economy based on innovation, increasing productivity, competitiveness and efficiency while The national innovation system is not only weak and stagnant, but also lacks strong enough pressure and motivation, lacks momentum and a favorable environment for development. Thus, we have to clear up growth bottlenecks and create new growth engines, at the same time we have to solve 2 difficult human resources problems to meet the requirements of the digital transformation period. Firstly, quickly equip the right skills for the majority of people to adapt to the digital transformation, and second, build a team of talent transforming core numbers with the spirit of innovation and leadership. the country’s digital transformation journey.
