[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Woori Financial Group announced on the 28th that it is conducting an online training course on 'DT (Digital Transformation) and Information Technology (IT) knowledge content' for all employees of the group companies to spread the organizational culture for accelerating group DT innovation and to secure professional capabilities.


This training allows all employees of Woori Financial Group companies to autonomously learn online content videos and materials of about 10 minutes per day on PC or mobile, in response to the untact (non-face-to-face) sales environment triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.


The training content uploaded on the online platform is mainly composed of topics aligned with the recently highlighted fintech technologies and digital financial environment, such as the 4th Industrial Revolution, DT and IT trends, DT strategy, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).


On the 3rd, Woori Financial Chairman Sohn Tae-seung ordered digital innovation as one of the group's core response strategies for the second half of the year to executives and employees at the '2020 Second Half Management Strategy Workshop' held in an untact manner.


Woori Financial launched the 'Digital Innovation Committee' in May. Chairman Sohn serves as the chairman, and under it, a 'Digital Innovation Headquarters' organization was newly established with Kwon Kwang-seok, President of Woori Bank, as the general manager to fully promote digital innovation.


A Woori Financial Group official said, "We are actively promoting Woori Financial's new digital vision, 'Digital for Better Life,'" adding, "Creating an innovative culture to complete successful group DT will be a core competitive advantage."



Meanwhile, since April, Woori Financial has been conducting a 'Digital Reverse Mentoring' program for group company executives to enhance their digital mindset. Through mentoring by younger employees, group executives have opportunities to understand and directly experience digital trends as well as the composition and utilization methods of various digital services and content operated by each group company.
