Vietnam - the rising star
Vietnam is a country gripped by fierce patriotism. The goal on the top of each Vietnamese mind is to recover from the war that destroyed generations. I had the opportunity to speak at The Talent Management Conference organized by SMR Group and our local partners AITC at the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce. Simultaneous translation was provided and the focus of the event was unique – make Vietnamese talent a premier one in the region. The 250 participants were exposed to a variety of speakers. The number of government enterprises is going down substantially and free enterprise is blossoming in Vietnam. Our local partner bought a book to understand Vietnamese history and I had the chance to take a photograph with the legendary President Ho Chi Minh. Organisations that have focused on their people and on their future people needs are likely to be the winners in the next expansion cycle.
