Kwon Kwang-seok, President of Woori Bank, is urging to "Lead the future digital finance era with innovative D.N.A" at the '2021 First Half Management Strategy Meeting' held on the 22nd at the Vision Hall of Woori Bank Headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Woori Bank held the '2021 First Half Management Strategy Meeting' in a non-face-to-face manner through the company broadcast. At this meeting, Kwon Kwang-seok, President of Woori Bank, stated, "This year's management goal is set as 'Digital First, Digital Initiative,'" urging employees to lead digital innovation and the digital financial market.

According to Woori Bank on the 24th, President Kwon said at the '2021 First Half Management Strategy Meeting' held on the 22nd at Woori Bank's headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, "Let's lead the future digital financial era by adding 'Innovation D.N.A' to the crisis-overcoming DNA with a 122-year long history."

'Innovation D.N.A' is a core management keyword created by taking the first letters of the three major management directions of Woori Bank this year: 'Digital Innovation (Digital) · Sustainable Growth (Net) · Expansion of Profit Base (Action)'.

Along with this, Woori Bank invited Yoon Ho-young, CEO of competitor KakaoBank, as a special lecturer at the management strategy meeting to hear a lecture on KakaoBank's innovation cases, the future of finance, and 'digital innovation.' It is unusual to invite a CEO of a competitor in the same industry to give a lecture. The executives attending the meeting had an in-depth discussion with CEO Yoon for about 50 minutes on what digital innovation means.

A Woori Bank official said about CEO Yoon's invited lecture, "It reflects President Kwon's will for innovation, emphasizing the need to break free from fixed ideas, present new paths, and have an open mind to learn even the strengths of competitors."
