Insights

What we are seeing in the Vietnamese market

Perspective from the team, drawn from live engagements: how organisations in Vietnam are handling restructuring, developing leaders, and competing for scarce capability.

Other themes we are seeing

  • Career transition here does not follow the Western script

    Around 40% of the people we support through restructuring choose a pathway other than immediate re-employment: a business, a portfolio of work, or an earlier, active retirement. Outplacement built on a single job-search track pushes against that reality. It is why our programmes start with a roadmap conversation, not a CV.

  • The offsite has become the leadership intervention of choice

    A significant part of our leadership work is customised leadership team offsites: not training moved to a hotel, but a team working on a specific organisational challenge with facilitation, coaching and assessment combined. The demand signal is clear: leadership teams want to resolve something, not attend something.

  • Assessment earns its place on expensive, hard-to-reverse decisions

    Senior selection, promotion and succession are where interview impressions and job performance diverge most. The organisations getting this right in Vietnam are not testing everyone for everything. They choose one validated instrument for the specific decision in front of them, and have the results interpreted by a practitioner.

  • Restructures are won or lost before the announcement

    The restructures that hold up (with staff, unions and authorities) are planned as communication events, not just legal events. Manager notification training, notification support and onsite transition support decide whether the organisation keeps the trust of the people who stay.

Talk to the people doing the work

If one of these themes is live in your organisation right now, the fastest route to a useful answer is a conversation with a consultant.
