However, the emulation movement "Skilled Mass Mobilization" still has limitations and shortcomings: Propaganda work is sometimes not timely and not regular; some Party committees and authorities have not fully promoted their roles and have not been proactive in leading and directing model building; there are not many reasonable policies and mechanisms to support the building of models at the district and grassroots levels; some members of the steering committees at all levels have not fully promoted their responsibilities in directing the grassroots level.

In 2023, the Steering Committee of the emulation movement "Skilled Mass Mobilization" oriented 11 key groups of tasks, including promoting the extensive, practical and effective implementation of the emulation movement "Skilled Mass Mobilization" associated with studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style and the exemplary responsibility of cadres and party members, associated with practice, closely following the political tasks of agencies and units; building, maintaining and replicating effective models in all fields, with depth and influence, replicating creative models, good and effective practices of steering committees at all levels.

Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh said that the emulation movement "Skilled Mass Mobilization" has built many models, but we should not compete in terms of achievements and quantity, but should choose which model is effective for society to replicate and develop. In addition, each agency and organization must choose positive factors in mass mobilization work.

Many members said that, in order for the emulation movement "Skilled Mass Mobilization" to develop strongly, it is necessary to do a good job of propaganda first. Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper Tran Van Hung said: In the past year, Nghe An Newspaper's publications had 100 news and articles related to skillful mass mobilization, including 10 in-depth articles. Although the propaganda activities have made efforts, in reality, they have not been in-depth and have not impressed readers. Therefore, it is suggested that the emulation movement should be organized and summarized annually, because this is considered a "source" for reporters and journalists to exploit, actively participate in propagating and spreading good models.

Agreeing with this view, the representative of the Provincial Police said that propaganda work must be done carefully. Currently, this activity is still weak and not taken seriously. Besides, to do well in mass mobilization work, there must be determination from the entire political system, working together.

In addition, opinions also suggested a number of issues such as: Annually organizing emulation movements with rewards to promptly encourage and motivate; choosing issues with central and key points, choosing according to topics associated with the political situation of each locality, to clearly focus activities...

Concluding the meeting, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu emphasized a number of directions and tasks in the coming time. He emphasized: Skillful mass mobilization work requires two-way interaction, dialogue, listening to people's feedback, and encouraging grassroots initiatives.

In skillful mass mobilization, sharing and listening to people's concerns is essential. The goal of mass mobilization is to unite the entire population to implement the Party's policies and the State's laws.

The Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee suggested focusing on promoting propaganda methods in forms such as: setting examples, applying technological solutions, selecting suitable propagandists, replicating typical models, and paying attention to situation forecasting.
