DGB Daegu Bank held the '21st Pohang CEO Forum' on the morning of the 20th at the POSCO International Hall Grand Ballroom.

Co-hosted with the Pohang Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman Moon Chung-do), approximately 150 people attended the forum, including key institution heads in the Pohang area, representatives of Pohang Chamber member companies, and CEOs of local businesses.

The 'Pohang CEO Forum' is being held at the POSCO International Hall with about 150 attendees, including businesspeople from the Pohang area.

DGB Daegu Bank regularly holds CEO forums as part of ESG management for discussing regional economic issues and practicing ethical management. At this forum, Professor Oh Sang-jin from Kyung Hee University Graduate School of International Studies was invited to give a special lecture titled "The Secret of Companies Surviving in the VUCA Era."

'VUCA' is a combination of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity, referring to an uncertain future.

Professor Oh emphasized, "In a rapidly changing business environment, corporate leaders must cultivate swift and clear insight to survive," and delivered a lecture on management methods and the competencies leaders must have in an era where boundaries between industries are breaking down and digital transformation is taking place.

He particularly conveyed the message that "corporate leaders must become Tech Sensors who can integrate technology and humanism, Sense Makers who find meaning in data and collective experience, and Rule Breakers who discard existing boundaries," capturing the attention of the attendees.

Hwang Byung-woo, President of Daegu Bank, said, "Despite the difficult environment caused by high inflation, high interest rates, and high exchange rates, companies based in Pohang possess the resilience to turn crises into opportunities by advancing the steel industry and reorganizing industries around three core sectors: batteries, bio, and hydrogen." He added, "I hope this forum helps local leaders enhance their knowledge and strengthen their management strategies."
