How is culture formed in the digital age?

There are many ways to form and maintain habits, but in the digital age, one of the ways to form and maintain habits of each member in the organization is to use digital technology to create platforms and management systems, in which the necessary habits are embedded and "hardened" in the platform and system so that each member of the organization is forced to comply when working.

How can localities easily launch digital transformation?

In the past, deploying information technology applications was not an easy task. Because the system had to be deployed, operated, and users had to be trained. These tasks had to be done at each unit, each commune, each district, each province, so there was a shortage of information technology staff. With digital technology, there are no such problems. Everything is on the platform, communes and districts only need to register to use it, there is no longer a system at each commune and each district. It is so easy to use that no training is required. The processes and methods have been put into the digital platform, users do not need to remember or learn.

For new problems, provincial leaders only need to set the problem, set the goals to be achieved, quantify the value to be created to know the maximum cost that can be spent. Leaders also have to create an institution for the new thing to be allowed to operate. Leaders do not need to be too concerned about how to do it. Let businesses do this, this is their job, and they are better than leaders. When leaders are caught up in discussing how to do it, especially how to do something that they do not have expertise in, such as digital transformation, they will not be able to make a decision on whether to do it or not, and so many things will be left hanging there.

Another very effective approach is to let people and businesses propose to the province the work and values ​​that they can create for the province. The province will consider and if the value created for the province is greater than the cost, then let them do it. This is a way to involve the entire population in innovation for the province. The entire population participates in developing the province. We should not consider ideas for developing our province as the monopoly of state officials. Often, breakthroughs and unexpectedly great values ​​come from the creativity of the people's intelligence.
