Returning to the original question — Where is RIDE on its journey?
To open the meeting, Dr. Trần Nguyên Các did not choose numbers or progress reports, but invited the members to return to the "starting point" of RIDE:
Why was the Institute established?
So that each member is always aware that they are contributing to a goal greater than their individual work — together building an organization with a mission to create sustainable value for the community.
What values help RIDE stand out?
To affirm that the long-term strength of RIDE comes from each individual living true to the core values — consistency, discipline, and steadfastness in every choice and action each day.
What do we commit to?
To remind that all actions need to be carried out according to the same common standards — professional, transparent, and responsible — rather than based on emotions or personal habits.
➤ Looking back from the meaning of the name to the initial direction, the entire team is reminded that RIDE is not merely a project implementation unit, but an organization that creates knowledge, generates sustainable value, and contributes to enhancing the operational capacity of Vietnamese enterprises in the digital age. This approach helps each member redefine their position in the bigger picture and gain a clear perspective before delving into specific evaluation content.

This mindset has led to an important transformation: RIDE does not summarize to mark completion, but learns from real experiences — turning challenges into capabilities and building a foundation to move further.
Discipline – Culture – Inner Strength: The Foundation That Determines Growth Rate
After reviewing professional activities, the meeting shifted to foundational yet long-term decisive factors: organizational discipline and work culture. At RIDE, culture is not a slogan on the wall, but a collection of specific behaviors practiced every day. One of the core principles is 5S, which includes:
1
Screening
2
Arrange
3
Clean
4
Care
5
Ready
5S not only creates an organized work environment but also fosters a mindset of orderly work, valuing processes and respecting individual responsibilities. This is the foundation that helps the Institute operate smoothly, distribute work effectively, and coordinate seamlessly. It is the small habits maintained consistently that generate internal strength — a key factor in sustainability that no organization can borrow or shortcut.
Orientation 2026: Accelerating through discipline, reputation, and commitment to quality
From the results and lessons of 2025, RIDE is determined to enter 2026 with a spirit of discipline, proactivity, and consistency.
✦ Chất lượng hơn số lượng
✦ Uy tín hơn hình thức
✦ Elevate personal responsibility — understand clearly and contribute effectively to the common goal
✦ Consistent quality standards — adhering to high standards, not compromising with ease
✦ Maintain the organization's long-term reputation — say what you do, do what you say, and keep your commitments
🎯 These are the values that RIDE considers core to positioning itself as a serious, reliable organization capable of making a substantial contribution to the business community.
