Workshop Theme
Ms. Dang Tuyet Dung Head of Wholesaler Banking
The story of “We change- We lead” which refers to Innovation concept in banking industry. Techcombank produces products and services basing on customer’s needs and aims to be the most customer-centric company in the industry.
Audience Feedback “ I was surprised with the Innovation in banking industry. There are lots of knowledge I don’t know but the workshop motivates me to learn more and be well-prepared after graduation” “At first, I want to admit that the presenter is a quite inspiring person. Her advice about ways of changing yourself really widen my mindset. However, her presentation is a little bit long and sometimes is lack of the sums up for us so it's sometime a little bit difficult to catch up with her. There's also one problem that in Tech's workshop, they use many professional words of banking and their cases focus too much on banking problem so that it's very hard for people not studying Banking to understand and solve”
