According to the city, the Changwon Innovation Junior Board is a bottom-up management participation organization that aims to ▲eliminate work inefficiencies ▲foster creative talents ▲create a flexible organizational culture.

It serves as a communication channel for management and proposes various ideas on city administration issues.

The inauguration ceremony was held in the form of a brown bag meeting with a casual meal in a comfortable cafe atmosphere, instead of the traditional ceremony format.

Instead of appointment letters, the city delivered welcome kits consisting of recommended books and stationery, and conducted a balance game where members chose one of two options to share their opinions on the organizational culture they usually have and to empathize with each other.

The appointed members pledged, "We will lead internal communication among members and strive to establish a horizontal and cooperative organizational culture."
