The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assessed that the biggest bottleneck slowing down the implementation of the tasks of Project 06 and digital transformation is digital human resources and digital infrastructure.

The main causes of the limitations are the awareness of the role of digital transformation and the lack of determination and closeness in directing and implementing tasks of the heads of some departments, branches and localities.

The assignment of tasks is not clear about people, work, and responsibilities. Lack of tools to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of assigned tasks leads to low results and efficiency.

Human resources for digital transformation implementation at units and localities are still lacking in both quantity and quality, mainly part-time staff, so they have not been able to perform well their advisory role in directing the implementation of contents and tasks of Project 06, digital transformation...

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested heads of units and localities to be more determined in directing and implementing digital transformation at units and localities. Assign tasks clearly, with completion time and specific results. Strengthen inspection and evaluation of units that perform well and propose handling and strict criticism of cases of delay, avoidance and fear of responsibility.

The Department of Information and Communications needs to promote and enhance the coordinating role of state management agencies on information technology and digital transformation.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Ngoc Chau emphasized that it is necessary to truly change the mindset from "doing for others" to "supporting and guiding" to improve digital skills for people and businesses. Focus on effectively implementing online public services to change the habit of using paper documents to using electronic documents, gradually forming digital citizens and a digital society.

The direction and organization of the implementation of the information technology application plan for 2025 when approved by the Provincial People's Committee must be urgent. There must be no delay in implementation, no need to transfer resources or have the allocated budget withdrawn, affecting the progress and requirements of digital transformation. Heads of departments and branches are responsible to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for the above content.
