Chairman Kim Tae-oh of DGB Financial Group stressed prioritizing thorough risk management and securing stable profit foundation for survival rather than growth.
To this end, he called for securing trust through close communication with diverse stakeholders, such as customers, shareholders and investors.
In his speech at a management workshop held in Gyeongju from July 7 to July 8, Chairman Kim said, ¡°We have to lead the future from a new perspective by breaking the uniformed mold of thinking to cope with inside and outside uncertainties threatening our group¡¯s continued growth and concentrating our capabilities to one place.¡±
He called for open-minded thinking to preemptively brace for rapid business environment changes and proactively cope with them. Kim emphasized that any companies faring well could suffer hardships unless they could nimbly cope with environmental changes.
Lastly, as Chairman Kim asked for DGB to be ¡°ONE TEAM, ONE DGB,¡± participants watched Korean footballer Son Heung-min play a game.
Kim said Son¡¯s elevation to a top scorer in the English Premier League was possible from teamwork and help from his colleagues.
Therefore, he called for collaboration among subsidiaries and departments with understanding and care toward a greater goal, and aggressively inducing cooperation and support on economic policies the city and provincial governments implement.
Those include the construction of an integrated Gyeongbuk-Daegu international airport and the nurturing of top five advanced industries.
Meanwhile, DGB Financial Group held its first management workshop in three years.
On Day 1, the workshop had a session on the topic ¡°How Can a Small Brand Beat a Bigger One?¡± It was followed by interviews on ways of utilizing retired employees. On Day 2, the workshop had a lecture on United Silla¡¯s leadership on unification.
It wrapped up with a trekking at Jusangjeolli in Yangnam, Gyeongju.
