Starting with Seo Chang-woo, the deputy manager, the other colleagues also joined the reform movement.


    This included the colleagues from the finance team and the nning management team, who did not attend the gathering.


    They did not volunteer for this task, which had nothing to do with their work performance, for Yoo-hyun’s sake.


    They had a stronger desire to break free from the reality that they wanted to change but could not.


    It meant that they were all thirsty for change.


    Yoo-hyun’s words ignited the fire in their doubtful hearts.


    “Are you really going to propose it to the Innovation Strategy Office?”


    Yun Jae-il, the deputy manager of the general affairs team, asked in surprise. Yoo-hyun nodded.


    “Yes, I am.”“The Innovation Strategy Office where the crown prince is?”


    “That’s right.”


    “So, you’re saying that the crown prince will review the n that I came up with?”


    “Well, in a broad sense, yes.”


    If it was someone else’s words, he would have dismissed it as bluffing.


    But the other person was Yoo-hyun, who came from the Group Strategy Office.


    He had be the youngest manager in thepany, and caused a stir as soon as he returned.


    If it was such an amazing colleague, it might be possible.


    Yun Jae-il, who had a sh of realization, looked around and whispered.


    “Wow. Then, can you keep it a secret that I participated in this?”


    “Sure. But why?”


    “Thepany will be turned upside down. What if I get targeted by the arrows?”


    It was a situation that was enough to scare him, so Yoo-hyun nodded.


    “Okay.”


    Then, Yun Jae-il reached out his hand and said in a hurry.


    “Wait, wait. But if it goes well…”


    He stuttered as he spoke, and Yoo-hyun chuckled.


    “Okay. Then, I’ll give you credit for it. Is that okay?”


    “Of course. Yoo-hyun, you’re the best.”


    What was so good about it?


    They smiled for different reasons, but their hearts were in sync with wanting change.


    The task of turning these sparks into a big me that would change Hansung Group.


    That was what Yoo-hyun had to do from now on.


    Yoo-hyun and his colleagues worked together to concretize the content of the change.


    Meanwhile, a news that would shake the country came up.


    Yoo-hyun, who checked the news at home, snorted.


    “Chairman Shin prepared a lot.”


    KHB Financial was apany that separated from Hansung Group during the IMF crisis in 1997.


    Shin Hyun-ho, who took over the management in a crisis situation, sold Hansung Financial to foreign capital to secure dors.


    But he did not lose interest in it.


    He continued to secure KHB Financial’s shares through Hansung Life, and also paid attention to the personnel of the executives.


    KHB Financial also owned a significant number of Hansung Electronics’ shares.


    What if Hansung Life was transferred to KHB Financial?


    Shin Hyun-ho would be able to achieve two goals at the same time: selling Hansung Life and securing Hansung Electronics’ shares.


    In addition, KHB Financial would jump from the fourth ce to the second ce in the financial industry.


    It was a win-win situation for anyone to see, but the reason why it was hard to predict was because of the foreign capital behind it.


    If it was reported this much in the media, it was likely that Shin Hyun-ho had taken action.


    That meant that he had been preparing for a long time.


    Then, what was next?


    Yoo-hyun was lost in thought for a moment.


    Beep.


    His phone rang, giving him a hint of what was toe.


    It was a message from Shin Kyung-wook, the vice president.


    -I’m thinking of re-establishing the direction of the Innovation Strategy Office. How about we meet and talk?


    Re-establishing the direction?


    He was clearly trying to make a new n to match the change of Hansung Group.


    It was a timely opportunity, so Yoo-hyun replied without hesitation.


    -I have something to tell you about that too.


    Hansung Group was undergoing a big change, but it was only a change in appearance. The inside was still the same.


    It meant that the lives of the employees were irrelevant to the change.


    Could Hansung be a betterpany by just growing like this?


    Yoo-hyun knew better than anyone that it was not the case, as he had experienced the future.


    He did not want to repeat that mistake.


    Yoo-hyun, who made an appointment to meet with the Innovation Strategy Office, met with Kim Young-gil, the section chief, first.


    He had something to confirm with him before starting the work.


    He had lunch with Kim Young-gil and went outside the building.


    It was chilly, but the sky was clear and it was nice to walk.


    Especially, the sight of the Han River shining in the sunlight was pleasant.


    Trudge trudge.


    As he walked along the Han River Riverside Park, Kim Young-gil said to Yoo-hyun.


    “It would have been nice if there was an outdoor terrace here like the Hansung Tower.”


    “Do you miss it?”


    “Rather than missing it, the view from above was pretty cool.”


    “Isn’t it nice to see the Han River from below? You can see things that you couldn’t see before.”


    Yoo-hyun said that and pointed to the river.


    The winter birds were gathered and chirping.


    It was a scenery that he would never have seen from above.


    Kim Young-gil, who was watching quietly, chuckled.


    “That’s true. The birds are also gathered here.”


    “I saw them a few days ago. I ran every morning, but I didn’t know.”


    “That’s understandable. Oh, what did you want to talk about?”


    Kim Young-gil asked, and Yoo-hyun naturally brought up the story of the future product manager.


    “When I went on a business trip to the future product manager a while ago…”


    The inside story that he could not know from looking down from above came out of Yoo-hyun’s mouth.


    Kim Young-gil, who was listening, nodded.


    “As expected, there were a lot of problems inside.”


    “Did you know?”


    “I knew it was too good to be true. It’s not easy to do something that no one has ever done before in a new organization. No, it’s almost impossible.”


    “That’s true. But it wouldn’t have been easy to tell from the reports, right?”


    “I was in the development team, you know. I knew the situation well. Most of the things you said, I experienced them too.”


    Kim Young-gil calmly expressed his opinion.


    Yoo-hyun had also briefly experienced the development team, but he could not see everything inside.


    At that time, Yoo-hyun only looked up and ran towards Apple as his goal.


    But Kim Young-gil, who started from the bottom in the development team, was different.


    He had experienced so many problems that he had to change his team, and his vision was directed downward.


    Yoo-hyun smiled and said.


    “I should have asked you first.”


    “I wouldn’t have been able to give you the answer. I could only point out the problem.”


    “I agree. That’s why our TF’s role is more important.”


    “Right. If we suggest a direction without expertise, it will cause more trouble.”


    Kim Young-gil, the section chief, nodded.


    The Future Technology TF was in charge of nning the semiconductor disy product line.


    It was an important role, as the development direction was determined by the nning.


    They had done very well so far, but the lifespan of the minority system was over.


    It was time to change, and Yoo-hyun nned to hand over the key to Kim Young-gil.


    In that sense, Yoo-hyun asked.


    “What are you going to do about the personnelposition if you take over the TF?”


    “I’m looking into it. But it’s not easy.”


    “In what way?”


    “Well, there’s ack of experts, you know. If I pull the existing people, there might be conflicts.”


    “That’s true.”


    This was something that Yoo-hyun was also worried about.


    It was not that there were no people, but that Kim Young-gil knew only a limited number of people who could change their teams.


    Even if they wanted to move, the upper management would not easily agree.


    It meant that the opportunity would not reach the people who had not shown their abilities, like Kim Ho-sung, the deputy manager.


    Yoo-hyun, who paused for a moment, told Kim Young-gil what he had been thinking for a long time.


    “How about recruiting people through a public contest?”


    “A public contest?”


    Kim Young-gil’s eyes widened.


    A public contest, as the name implied, meant a public recruitment.


    It was the most effective way to gather people who were interested and capable of nning the semiconductor disy.


    If they filtered out the candidates through documents or interviews, they would get a much better talent pool than the people they already knew.


    But there was a reason why they couldn’t do this before.


    Yoo-hyun recalled the argument he had with Seo Chang-woo, the deputy manager, a while ago.


    -Yoo-hyun, your idea of a public contest is good, but it’s not easy to apply.


    -If the people who are wasting their talents in the existing teams go to the departments they want and show their abilities, it would be better for thepany.


    -That’s true in theory, but how do you know that possibility? And from the perspective of the existing team leaders, they are losing the people they have trained well to somewhere else. Do you think the upper management will look favorably on the team leaders?


    -They would think that they managed their team members poorly.


    -Right. They are already having trouble with the work because of theck of personnel, and they will also get a bad evaluation. The team leaders will resist strongly, and the damage will go to the people who applied for the contest and their surroundings.


    -Of course, there should be a backup n. We should create a atmosphere that is not like that. And we need some coercion for that.


    The coercion that Yoo-hyun mentioned was not just a systematic device.


    They needed the support of the personnel decision maker who could force the agreement.


    If they conducted a public contest for all employees, the president had to push hard to minimize theints.


    This was something that Seo Chang-woo also agreed with, and he thought about the system to make it happen.


    But was a public contest enough?


    Even if Yoo-hyun pushed hard and sessfullypleted the public contest for the Future Technology TF, the next problem was the problem.


    They had to go through the president every time they wanted to do a public contest, and such a system would notst easily.


    Even if it did, it was not fair to redistribute the personnel through irregr public contests.


    In other words, they needed a more universal and routine system.


    Yoo-hyun brought up the system that was tried for a while and then abolished when he became the president.


    Job rotation.


    It was not enough to change the parts within the same team or the teams within the same department.


    That would be the same old thing.


    To expand the vision of the personnel and make them do the work that suited their aptitude, they needed to change the organization across the business units.


    Of course, there were many problems that could be expected, such as the possibility of flocking to the rtivelyfortable organization, theck of expertise, and the difficulty of evaluation.


    But these could be ovee with a proper system.


    It was better than losing excellent talents or having poor performance because of the personnel who did not fit the work.


    Yoo-hyun added more ideas to this.


    -What? You’re going to recruit TF members from the whole group?


    Like Kim Young-gil, who had eyes as big asnterns, everyone was surprised by his words.


    But Yoo-hyun thought that for thepany to move in the right direction, they needed to use the personnel at the group level.


    Of course, it would be hard to do it frequently, but at least they needed a channel.


    This was evident even in the case of semiconductor disy.


    There were plenty of people who had experienced semiconductor disy in advance in the Hansung Electronics Promotion Team or the Future Product Research Institute.


    Hansung Technic had many people who had designed semiconductor substrates.


    What if these people gathered in one ce?


    The existing personnel would also benefit from it.


    It was not just a plus one.


    There could be a synergy beyond imagination from the interaction of various experiences.


    Was this only applicable to public contests or job rotations?


    As long as they were under the ecosystem of Hansung Group, all systems were organically connected.


    There were endless ways and resources to use, as long as they looked around.


    That was the strength of argepany, and Yoo-hyun wanted to use it properly.


    The results that he made were piled up one by one.
