Gokseong County in South Jeolla Province, led by County Governor Cho Sangrae, announced on the 23rd that it held an innovation and proactive administration workshop over two days from the 18th to the 19th for about 30 affiliated public officials.

The workshop aimed to promote innovation in public services through the spread of a proactive administrative culture, strengthen administrative capabilities needed in the era of digital transformation, and enhance problem-solving skills focused on fieldwork.

On the first day, a special lecture titled "Small Ideas That Change Big Administration" was held to share the meaning and examples of proactive administration. Participants also engaged in a "flipping the problem" workshop, where they examined administrative issues from new perspectives and sought creative alternatives.

The second day featured presentation sessions where each team shared the ideas and alternatives they had developed. Each team presented differentiated solutions to various county issues, discussing the feasibility and effectiveness of their proposals in depth.

The county expects that this workshop will serve as an opportunity to further enhance public officials’ proactive problem-solving abilities and foster a collaborative atmosphere between departments.

Jeong Changmo, Deputy County Governor who attended the workshop, emphasized, "Small changes accumulate to create major innovations in county administration. Please listen to voices from the field and practice creative administration through interdepartmental collaboration."

A county official commented, "This workshop was a meaningful opportunity for public officials to redefine problems from a field-oriented perspective and to join forces in finding solutions. We will continue to do our best through proactive administration so that residents can truly feel the changes."
