"Learn to walk before you run" – that is the advice from Chairman of the Board of Directors Ho Minh Hoang to the students of the Faculty of Applied Information Technology (International School - Vietnam National University, Hanoi) during a discussion session on the afternoon of January 7.
Sharing business management skills
During the meeting, Chairman Ho Minh Hoang highlighted DEOCA Group’s unwavering commitment to fostering partnerships with prestigious domestic and international universities. This initiative aims to develop high-quality human resources, capable of addressing the evolving challenges and demands of the transportation sector.
Overview of the meeting
"We are building a modern, dynamic, and knowledge-driven work environment. This is a great opportunity for young talents to gain insights into our Group's scale and human resource development strategies", said Chairman Ho Minh Hoang.
In response to students’ inquiries about adopting digital technologies in the Group’s operations, Mr. Ho Minh Hoang emphasized that DEOCA Group is a pioneer in integrating cutting-edge digital transformation technologies, such as BIM, LiDAR, and 3D Laser Scanning. These innovations enhance precision, minimize errors, and optimize resources, ultimately accelerating project timelines in developing major transportation infrastructure projects across Vietnam.
“Technology empowers us to address negative practices by enhancing the transparency of databases and operational procedures in construction, and to minimize waste through optimized construction timelines", the Chairman of DEOCA highlighted.
Mr. Ho Minh Hoang, Chairman of the Board of Directors, shared his insights at the meeting
Discussing effective team management skills, the leader of the Group introduced governance tools and the “Utilizing – Valuing Personnel” strategy. This approach aims to identify and nurture individuals who embody the Group’s three core values “Aspiration - Perseverance - Gratitude” and are willing to share and commit to the Group.
Sharing insights with aspiring young leaders on the essential qualities and skills of effective leadership, Mr. Ho Minh Hoang posited that a leader's toolkit extends beyond mere negotiation and communication prowess. It encompasses the capacity for self-sacrifice and the strategic deployment of personal assets to exert influence over a collective. A true leader must also be willing to sacrifice, leverage individual strengths, and inspire others to exert influence over a collective.
Students listened to an introduction about DEOCA Group.
"Being a leader is already difficult, but being an exceptional worker is even more difficult", Chairman Ho Minh Hoang stated and emphasized: "You (students) can only confidently step into leadership roles when you have gained sufficient experience and independently solve small challenges in life. These accumulated experiences will serve as valuable lessons, preparing you to tackle greater obstacles in the future".
Encouraging youth initiatives
Addressing the challenges that DEOCA Group faces when applying technology for management and construction, General Director Nguyen Quang Huy noted that, like many enterprises in the transportation sector, the Group is currently solving the problem of high investment costs, the complexity of construction projects, and a shortage of highly specialized human resources.
In particular, the legal framework remains the biggest hurdle for businesses striving for comprehensive digital transformation. To overcome these challenges, DEOCA Group has conducted rigorous competency assessments to identify personnel who can adapt and meet the demands of the digitalization trend.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy - General Director of DEOCA Group, shared this at the meeting.
Also at the discussion, PhD. Nguyen Quang Minh, Chairman Assistant of the Board of Directors and Director of the Group's Training Department announced that in 2025, the Group plans to implement an observation and internship program. This initiative will offer young individuals the opportunity to directly engage in projects and construction sites. Through this program, students will not only gain practical experience but also learn how to apply digital technology in management and construction.
Students visited several departments.
In particular, DEOCA Group always welcomes young people to propose creative ideas related to applying digital technology in business management activities, creating many career development opportunities and contributing real value to the enterprise.
"With the "Storm-Surviving Birds" training model, DEOCA has prepared a ready-made successor team to stay ahead of the technology trend, because we firmly believe that applying advanced technology is a fundamental priority at DEOCA," PhD. Nguyen Quang Minh affirmed.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy - General Director of DEOCA Group presented the Group’s souvenirs.
At the conclusion of the exchange, Ms. Dao Thi Huyen Chi, representative of the student group from the International School - Vietnam National University Hanoi, expressed gratitude to the Chairman of the Board of Directors Ho Minh Hoang and the leaders of DEOCA Group for their thoughtful reception and sincere sharing, helping young participants better understand the potential that digital technology offers in corporate governance and the field of transportation infrastructure development.
