Japan is entering a period of severe high-quality IT talent scarcity β particularly across four high-growth domains where demand far outpaces available supply.
AI & Data
Software Engineering
Digital Transformation
System Integration
Vietnam's Untapped Potential
Vietnam has emerged as a promising technology talent pipeline β yet significant gaps remain that prevent seamless collaboration:
Competency & Work Style Gap
Misalignment between Vietnamese professionals and Japanese workplace expectations and standards.
No International Measurement System
The absence of standardized workforce evaluation tools creates uncertainty for hiring decisions.
Hire Right, Use Right, Retain Right
Companies struggle to find, deploy, and keep the right talent β not from lack of people, but lack of data.
π Companies don't lack people. Companies lack the data to make decisions about people.
Forum Objectives
Three Strategic Goals of the Forum
1
Solve Japan's IT Talent Demand
Create direct connections between Japanese enterprises and Vietnamese IT companies. Build a workforce that can deliver immediately, scale rapidly, and align with Japanese work culture and values.
2
Define Data-Driven IT Talent Standards
Apply internationally validated research from Japan (Uchida-Kraepelin) and Germany (MQ) to standardize workforce measurement using the AV Γ IMI framework β enabling accurate hiring, training, and risk forecasting.
3
Shift from Intuition to Intelligence
Workforce Intelligence is not just another HRM tool β it is a strategic control panel for CEOs and HRDs, enabling measurement, benchmarking, monitoring, and decision-making with financial-grade precision.
Workforce Intelligence
From Intuition-Based HR to Data-Driven Decisions
Workforce Intelligence is not a replacement for HR administration β it is an entirely new layer of strategic insight. Think of it as the difference between managing a business by feeling versus managing it with a real-time financial dashboard.
This framework gives CEOs and HRDs a clear, actionable picture of their workforce β empowering them to increase productivity, reduce burnout risk, and optimize the total cost of talent at every stage of the employee lifecycle.
Value Proposition
What Participating Companies Will Gain
For Japanese Enterprises
Access Standardized Vietnamese IT Talent
Japanese companies attending the Forum will gain direct, curated access to Vietnamese IT professionals who have been evaluated using internationally standardized assessment tools β removing guesswork from cross-border hiring decisions.
Long-term intrinsic motivation and engagement depth
Risk Indicators
Burnout probability, disengagement patterns, early attrition signals
Cost Reduction Impact
By hiring with data instead of assumptions, Japanese companies can dramatically reduce three of the most expensive HR errors:
β Wrong Hire
Eliminate costly mismatches before onboarding
β Wrong Training
Focus development resources where they create real ROI
β Early Attrition
Predict and prevent premature departures
For Vietnamese IT Companies
Upgrade from Outsourcing Vendor to Value Partner
Understand the Japanese Standard
Learn precisely what Japanese clients expect in terms of work performance, discipline, reliability, and operational stability β and how to close the gap systematically rather than through trial and error.
Build a Japan-Ready Delivery Team
Gain the knowledge and frameworks to construct teams that can consistently deliver to Japanese market expectations β scaling from one project to an ongoing partnership with confidence and credibility.
Access Direct Market Connections
Meet Japanese customers and strategic partners face-to-face. These relationships can open doors to outsourcing contracts, joint ventures, and long-term talent pipeline agreements that would take years to develop independently.
For CEO & HRD Leaders
A Complete Workforce Intelligence Dashboard
Leaders attending the Forum will leave with a clear, data-backed picture of their organization's human capital β built on three complementary measurement systems that together form the most comprehensive talent intelligence framework available in the VietnamβJapan corridor.
AV β Performance
Derived from the Uchida-Kraepelin (Japan) methodology. Measures real-time cognitive throughput, work accuracy, and sustained productivity capacity under professional conditions.
IMI β Motivation
Based on the Motivation Questionnaire (Germany). Captures intrinsic motivation drivers, long-term engagement patterns, and the depth of an individual's commitment to their work and organization.
Trait-Map β Behavior
A European behavioral profiling tool that maps personality structure, interpersonal tendencies, and teamwork compatibility β critical for cross-cultural team building in Japan-facing environments.
Together, these three instruments give leaders a single integrated system to increase productivity, reduce burnout, and optimize total workforce cost β with the same rigor applied to financial decision-making.
Forum Agenda
What's on the Program
The Forum is structured to move from insight to action β beginning with market data, building through framework and case studies, and culminating in direct business connections.
VietnamβJapan IT Workforce Data Report

Workforce Intelligence Framework
Deep dive into the AV Γ IMI Matrix. How companies can implement measurement systems and use the output to drive smarter hiring, training, and retention decisions.
Real-World Case Studies
