Finger Exercises at the piano are a good way to improve technique. But there are many ways to practice finger exercises, and there are also many different books of piano finger exercises written for pianists by various composers.
This video is an introduction to Ernst von Dohnányi's 1929 classic: ESSENTIAL FINGER EXERCISES FOR OBTAINING A SURE PIANO TECHNIQUE. I give an overview of this volume and also talk about the very idea of finger exercises and what a pianist can hope to attain by practicing them.
