What is digital transformation in society?

The main driving force of the digital society is digital technology, based on the rapid growth of information and data, changing all aspects of social organization, from government, economy to people. Digital society, in a narrow sense, includes digital citizens and digital culture. In this sense, digital society, together with digital government and digital economy, form the three pillars of a digital nation.

What is people-centered digital transformation?

Smart phones are the main means of people in the digital world, so people-centered digital transformation must first equip people with means, through the implementation of universal smart phone use. One smartphone per person. One fiber optic cable per household.

The fields that have social impact, are related to people's daily lives, change awareness the fastest, bring efficiency, and help save costs need to prioritize digital transformation first, including: Healthcare, Education and Training, Finance - Banking, Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Natural Resources and Environment, Industrial Production.

The application of information technology, then digital transformation, has gone through different stages of development.

First, technology companies with solutions and applications come to the government to offer their services, and the government considers purchasing and applying them. This is the stage where technologists and companies are the leaders.

Second, the government understands technology better, believes in technology more, and begins to pose government problems to technology companies so they can solve them with technology. The leader is the government.

Third is to take people as the center, the problems the government sets out are due to listening to the people, starting from the people's needs, bringing value to the people. The government puts the people at the center.

The fourth is the participation of four parties from the beginning, which are the people, the government, the technologists and the businesses. These four parties will discuss together what and how to solve the needs of the people, the businesses and the government.

So the right approach is, it's all about sustainable development, everything is always discussed by all four parties from the beginning.
