66TH MADE IN VIETNAM FINEST CEO PROGRAM: SYNCHRONIZING TAM THE, CREATING THE 2026 POSITION

“CEO with Five Universal Values always create true added values anytime and anywhere”

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dang Minh

Hanoi, Thursday, December 25, 2025, in the bustling atmosphere of the final days of the year, at the MBV International building (GKM GROUP) located in Khai Son City, the 66th Made in Vietnam Finest CEO Program (K66) officially opened. This is not just a course, but a journey gathering managers with the aspiration to break through the mindset “glass ceiling”, ready to create substantial capacity in the rising era of nation

The Convergence of Multi industry “Fireproof Bricks”

Despite being the busiest time for review and settlement, 66th course still recorded the large participation of CEOs from key economic sectors: from packaging, mechanical manufacturing, food processing to telecommunications electronics, infrastructure materials, and architectural construction.

This diverse presence is a testament to the universality of the Made in Vietnam Finest Management Technology, a solution system not only reserved for manufacturing but also optimized for every service and organizational model. The fact that leaders gathered at MBV International, a symbol of the connection between the Vietnamese thousand year heroic spirit and future creating wisdom, shows the strategic vision in investing in the Made in Vietnam Finest Management Technology Capital. This is considered an invaluable capital, having the power to lead and optimize the Financial Capital as well as the Technical Capital of the enterprise.

Tam The Management: The Foundation of Longevity

Right on the opening day, K66 students were “immersed” in the core and most important content: Gene 1, Tam The Management.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dang Minh, founder of the Made by.in Vietnam Gene ‘Kick on & Creative’ System, affirmed: Tam The is the originating Gene, the foundation to create Overall Capacity for humans. Instead of starting from dry technical tools, K66 begins by pivoting the mindset, helping the leader become the heart pumping blood to nurture and support the success of the entire “trunk, branches, leaves” system of the enterprise. When Tam The is clear, all barriers regarding division or “wartime management” will be replaced by solid connection and resonance.

Strategic solution: MADE BY VIETNAM

The presence of manufacturing and outsourcing enterprises at K66 once again affirms the urgent need for the mission of Made by Vietnam entrepreneurs. The GKM Gene System helps CEOs shape the transition roadmap: both standing firm in existing strengths and boldly stepping into high value added stages like R&D, product design, and brand business. This is the path for Vietnamese wisdom to confidently master the value chain and reach a global level.

Proven Value

A special highlight in the opening ceremony was the passionate sharing from Mr. Doan Trung Thuy, CEO of Thai Duong Investment and Development JSC, a student who has persistently applied the MIV Gene system since 2016 and returned to continue elevating the mindset for the new phase.

“I started my business in 2003 with only a high school diploma. By 2016, when I met Dr. Minh and applied Tam The Management, my enterprise completely changed its appearance. Previously, we faced millions of defective packages, but currently Thai Duong’s products are exported all over the world.”

Instead of distant theories, he proved management effectiveness through “figures that speak”: from a cumbersome organizational structure with 2,000 workers, Thai Duong optimized resources to only 1,200 people but created a leap in productivity with output increasing 3 times compared to before.

“Implementing Made in Vietnam Finest Management needs persistence and endurance. The leader must be hands on, spreading the fire of Tam The to every corner of the factory. I believe that without Tam The as the foundation, all other management techniques from Japan or the world will also ‘fly’ away. At Thai Duong, we proudly hang the Made in Vietnam Finest Management signs everywhere as a sense of pride regarding Vietnamese wisdom.”

Carrying a fresh observation after joining the team for over 1 month, “immersing” himself in the GKM Gene System at the Research and Development department of Bao Minh Confectionery, manager Truong Tuan Nghia shared philosophical contemplations about the organization’s transformation. He affirmed that the values that the MIV Finest Management Technology brought to Bao Minh throughout the past time are proven achievements “clearly visible, clearly felt” through each development step of the enterprise. The most profound touchpoint in his mindset is identifying the difference between wartime and peacetime management. Thanks to that, pivoting to Tam The Management for him is not only a simple technical lesson, but a “bright path” for the manager to understand the root cause and create substantial value in work. For a person doing research and development work like him, Tam The is the most solid foundation to “form subsequent management Gene systems”, helping the enterprise not only escape from old mindsets but also be ready to break through strongly in the future.

After the first study day, Mr. Nguyen Van Lang, CEO of Hung Viet Industrial Service and Trade Company Limited, could not hide his excitement upon finding a ‘solid foundation’ for his management journey. He admitted that, without Tam The as the root, operating the enterprise is no different from trying to ‘build a castle on sand’.”

Amidst the high pressure business life, Mr. Lang pondered why enterprises must “fight, eliminate and battle each other” instead of building a “joyful and happy” working community together. To him, money is a goal but always has limits, while the core value must lie in the peace of mind of the leader. Especially, for a small enterprise, establishing Tam The helps him remove the inferiority complex when standing next to large and strong organizations. He affirmed with pride: “When we already have Tam The, we are small but we have our own ‘martial art stance’.” This proactive posture helps the manager no longer fear when working with big partners or foreign enterprises, because now he possesses a substantial “root” to hold on to, develop and be ready to “pass down to future generations”.

Continuing the flow of sharing about the 9 year journey (from 2016 to 2025) of persistently pursuing Tam The Management, Mr. Doan Trung Thuy (CEO of Thai Duong) exploded the classroom space with the philosophy regarding the “fire” of the leader. To him, this journey is not to maintain the current state but to “develop, develop and continuously go up”, regardless of fluctuations like the Covid pandemic or market challenges.

He emphasized a steel principle in management: “To transmit fire, the leader must have fire and must set an example”. He frankly shared the story about correcting the management level when they asked about fire transmitting techniques but forgot that if the leader himself does not have substantial enthusiasm, he cannot spread anything to the team. Besides that, Mr. Thuy also pointed out that the greatest strength that Tam The Management brings to Thai Duong is the consistency in action. Instead of the situation of “people rowing in different directions” leading to internal conflicts and wasting resources to resolve unnecessary clashes, now the entire team has looked in the same direction, acted together according to a common Tam The to reach the destination of prosperity.

2026 Vision: Reaching the International Level with Vietnamese Wisdom

The Made in Vietnam Finest CEO Program K66 is not only a normal class, but a solution for the Made by Vietnam strategy: Mastering Research and Development and branding. The proven values from the CEOs are the motivation for key Made by Vietnam enterprises to confidently enter the year 2026.
