Two days into our trip and I was very clear about what makes our Vietnam NashTech operations so successful. This is all about a few core principles. Starting with Leadership. There is a clear vision underpinned by how we will get there. There is unwavering support for building careers, developing skills in the latest technology and providing interesting projects to work on. The second element is the most talented technology and business process engineers in Vietnam have chosen to work for NashTech. This means that the quality of the work is exceptional and the solutions developed exceed clients expectations.

Finally, the Vietnamese people I met in our business and in the communities were warm, welcoming, caring and highly educated. On the roads, with an overwhelming number of scooters and cars what looked on the face of it to be chaos and dangerous, on closer inspection worked in perfect harmony without anger from competing traffic but with courtesy and mutual respect. I experienced a culture that I admire greatly and travel home with a deep fondness for Vietnam and hugely proud of our colleagues there.

Two full days were spent meeting client development and business process solutions teams and hearing about the challenges they were solving and the value they were bringing to these businesses. I feel that I have been fully immersed. Our Nash Squared business has everything our Technology clients could need to help them achieve their business goals, we are a truly unique business and there is nobody able to compete with us that has our breadth of services and depth of expertise.

As you read this I will be travelling home, tired, happy and with a headful of ideas on the evolution of our business. Thank you to our colleagues in Vietnam for making this a truly special experience.

As the weekend comes around, take time to rest and recuperate and keep safe and well.
