Shifting administrative management thinking to creation
Directing at the Congress, Permanent Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Le Hong Son highly appreciated the leadership and direction of the Department of Culture and Sports in the past time. At the same time, comrade Le Hong Son also assessed the opportunities and challenges of the Culture and Sports sector in the new era. With the innovation in current management work, the Law on the Capital coming into life, Hanoi is facing advantages and many conditions to promote cultural development, turning existing cultural resources into the driving force for Hanoi's socio-economic development, making Hanoi become the cultural industrial center of the region.
Frankly acknowledging the shortcomings of the Capital's Culture and Sports sector, comrade Le Hong Son said that one of the biggest "bottlenecks" is that cultural management thinking is still heavily administrative, lacking market, creativity, and integration. Many cultural and sports resources have not been developed commensurate with their potential. Therefore, to develop culture and turn culture into a driving force for socio-economic development, the most important thing is to change management thinking.
From the above assessment, Permanent Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Le Hong Son proposed groups of solutions on management work. That is, it is necessary to change from administrative management thinking to creation and companionship. Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports needs to identify culture as a resource for sustainable development, a spearhead of socio-economic development. In which, the State plays a role in creating an environment for creative organizations; shifting from subsidized management thinking to socialization and market, encouraging public-private partnership, enhancing creative cooperation, and promoting support for creative cultural enterprises.
In addition, the Culture and Sports sector needs to shift from a management mindset of maintaining stability to one of being creative and pioneering; shift from a closed management mindset to one of being open and integrated; accept artistic experimentation, create new creative spaces, encourage creative thinking in management, and implement new policies.
Comrade Le Hong Son also noted that the Department of Culture and Sports of the Capital needs to strengthen cooperation with international organizations and world creative networks; support artists to bring their creations to the international market. Management work must ensure publicity and transparency; promote the application of digital technology in management work.
“Changing the mindset of cultural management in the capital is not just the task of a few individuals or a few units, but in essence, a comprehensive transformation from a management model to a service and creation model; from an administrative model to a creative model; from a subsidized model to a market mechanism,” emphasized comrade Le Hong Son.
In addition to presenting solutions for management, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Le Hong Son also noted issues related to the work of building and developing a team of qualified, technologically knowledgeable and capable staff. The Department of Culture and Sports needs to organize training, discover, nurture and use young talents in a practical and effective manner; establish funds for cultural and artistic talents to promptly support and nurture talents.
The Congress of Delegates for the 2025-2030 term of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports elected 14 comrades with sufficient qualities and capacity to the Party Executive Committee of the agency for the 2025-2030 term.
