PARTNERSHIP PROJECT TO IMPLEMENT GKM FINEST MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY (MADE IN VIETNAM) AT AMECC

At a time when Vietnamese businesses are facing increasingly demanding expectations in terms of operational effectiveness, efficiency and sustainable development, AMECC Construction and Mechanical Joint Stock Company has chosen to pursue a fundamental approach: investing in people, building capabilities from within and gradually developing a management Gene System suited to the Vietnamese people and Vietnamese enterprises.

On 4 January 2025, GKM Group and AMECC officially signed a cooperation agreement for a joint implementation project focused on Finest Management Technology Made in Vietnam (MIV), with the aim of fostering sustainable development at AMECC Construction and Mechanical Joint Stock Company.

This was more than a milestone in cooperation. It marked the beginning of a long term partnership in which Finest Management Technology MIV would be progressively transferred, embedded and integrated into AMECC’s day to day management practices.

From a Management Project to a Journey of Investing in People and Building a Management System That Develops Holistic Capabilities at Every Management Level of AMECC

At the project launch ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Đăng Minh, Chairman of GKM Group and Co Project Director, affirmed, “Today marks the beginning of the ‘Trường đại Học đại Hiểu đại Áp ’, abbreviated as the “Đại Học Hiểu Áp, within AMECC.”

The “Trường đại Học đại Hiểu đại Áp within the Enterprise” is more than just a training environment. It represents a deeper approach to developing people of excellence within the enterprise itself, through practical work, the process of Học * Hiểu * Áp and continuous improvement every day.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Đăng Minh and General Director Nguyễn Văn Thọ, Co Project Director, committed to providing direct support throughout the entire implementation journey. The project’s core objective is to create the Five Values for every company member, their families, the enterprise, customers and society through investment in people, from each individual to the relationships between individuals. This involves improving how people understand one another and organise themselves, gradually strengthening connections, minimising conflicts, fostering greater harmony and collectively enhancing Holistic Capabilities. The ultimate aim is to enable every person at AMECC, regardless of their position, to achieve excellence in their own role.

“We will address one another as Management Practitioners, regardless of our positions. Through the practical implementation of this project, people in every role will progressively develop and mature…”

This reflects the spirit of building capabilities from within, rather than simply seeking solutions from outside. Before managing work, people must first learn to manage themselves. Before optimising a process, they must reflect on the Tâm Thế of those carrying it out. And before building a Finest organisation, they must develop people with a positive Tâm Thế, strong capabilities and the ability to improve continuously.

Beginning with Gene 1, Tâm Thế Management, the transfer of Finest Management Technology MIV sets out on a journey through which its management thinking, methods and tools are progressively introduced into AMECC’s daily operations.

This is a long term partnership project with no fixed time limit, because developing human capabilities and building a sustainably developing organisation cannot be achieved through a short term training programme. It is a journey that requires time for knowledge and principles to be absorbed, practised, improved and transformed into lasting capabilities.

General Director Nguyễn Văn Thọ shared, “We need to continuously nurture and develop people’s capabilities. This approach is aligned with AMECC’s development strategy and with the laws governing nature and the universe.”

From this perspective, AMECC’s Leadership has determined that introducing Finest Management Technology MIV into the enterprise is not merely about improving operational efficiency. More fundamentally, it is about nurturing the people of AMECC, enabling every Management Practitioner to progressively develop their Tâm Thế, professional expertise and management capabilities, thereby creating the Five Values for all members of the company.

Even the best designed system can hardly operate effectively and efficiently if people do not have the appropriate Tâm Thế to put it into practice. Advanced academic knowledge, management methods and information technology can only deliver their full value when built upon a foundation of people with a positive Tâm Thế and practical capabilities.

This is precisely what Finest Management Technology MIV seeks to address at its roots, beginning with people and becoming embedded in every specific task.

As time goes by, reflections shared by AMECC’s Management Practitioners reveal that the first signs of transformation are already emerging, beginning with changes in awareness.

Some Management Practitioners have gained a clearer understanding of the relationship between Học * Hiểu * Áp, the gains and losses involved in every management decision, and the need to create balanced value for all parties. Others have realised that management is neither a distant nor an abstract concept. It is present in everyday life, in every task and in every relationship.

Some have also recognised that the greatest gift after a day of learning is not a tangible object, but knowledge that they can take away, put into practice and continue to use to create value.

General Director Nguyễn Văn Thọ shared a particularly meaningful image, saying, “Today, everyone receives a gift. This gift can be shared among many people, yet nothing is lost. In fact, the more it is shared, the greater its value becomes.”

This captures the value of knowledge when it is absorbed and shared. The more knowledge is shared, the more value it creates.

From Tâm Thế Management to Personal Transformation in Every Management Practitioner

Throughout the project implementation journey, AMECC’s Management Practitioners continued to explore the concept of Tâm Thế and the methods of Tâm Thế Management in greater depth. What is particularly noteworthy is not simply a better understanding of a management concept, but the fact that each Management Practitioner has begun to reflect on themselves.

With a positive Tâm Thế, Management Practitioners have become more willing to recognise their own limitations, the underlying reasons behind their management decisions and the areas of their work that need improvement.

General Director Nguyễn Văn Thọ shared, “Most people have understood. Everyone, including myself, has recognised their own limitations and the fundamental reasons behind the management decisions I have made that resulted in gains and losses rather than Win Win outcomes. With the Five Values, we will overcome these challenges with ease.”

With this awareness, Tâm Thế is no longer a difficult concept to understand. Instead, it is beginning to serve as a tool for each Management Practitioner to reflect on themselves, improve themselves and contribute to the improvement of the organisation as a whole.

Following the project launch, the most important factor is not a single day of training, but a continuous, consistent and sustained journey guided by the Five Ks, enabling Finest Management Technology MIV to gradually become embedded in every individual, every task and every relationship within AMECC.

Beginning with Gene 1, Tâm Thế Management, Management Practitioners progressively engage with the system of thinking, methods and tools underpinning Finest Management Technology MIV; Through this process, transformation takes place step by step; From awareness to action; From methods to capabilities; From individual capabilities to organisational capabilities.

The ultimate goal is not to create Management Practitioners who merely “know about management”, but Management Practitioners who are capable of managing themselves, managing their work, managing people and jointly developing the system. This is the process of developing Holistic Capabilities.

From Each Management Practitioner to an MBV Organisation, the Collective Strength of the GKM Gene System

After more than a year of implementing and applying Finest Management Technology MIV, the values of this journey of integration and transformation are gradually becoming evident in AMECC’s day to day operations. From changes in the Tâm Thế, thinking and working methods of each Management Practitioner to improvements in work, relationships and the organisation’s operational capabilities, AMECC is becoming better from within, day by day.

This is also the value of a partnership project with no time limit. It goes beyond transferring a management method, progressively nurturing people, developing capabilities and transforming individual capabilities into organisational capabilities.

Building on this foundation, AMECC has become a member of the MBV Core Mechanical Engineering Alliance, connecting with the ecosystem of MBV Core Mechanical Engineering enterprises that is being established and developed on the foundation of the GKM Gene System.

Made by Vietnam, More Beautiful Vietnam; Mần Bởi Việt is not merely a strategic direction, but is gradually being realised through the capabilities of Vietnamese people and Vietnamese enterprises learning together, improving together, creating synergies and jointly creating value.

For AMECC, this strength begins with each individual.

When each Management Practitioner develops a better Tâm Thế and stronger Holistic Capabilities; when every role is performed with an increasingly Finest spirit; when relationships within the organisation become increasingly connected and harmonious, with everyone working towards the Five Values; and when each task is performed with ever greater effectiveness and efficiency, transformation no longer remains at the individual level, but begins to become a capability of the entire organisation.

At AMECC, this journey continues to expand as the enterprise progressively develops the capabilities of its young Management Practitioners within the corporate environment itself. Through practical work, Học * Hiểu * Áp and continuous improvement, these young Management Practitioners begin developing their Tâm Thế and management capabilities from an early age.

From each Management Practitioner of Excellence to an Organisation of Excellence. From an Organisation of Excellence to a member of the MBV Core Mechanical Engineering Alliance. From the capabilities of each individual to the collective strength of the entire ecosystem.

This is the journey of integration and transformation, from individuals to organisations and from organisations to the alliance. Together, they work towards building strong and sustainable Vietnamese enterprises and bringing Vietnamese excellence to the world.
