Jin Ok-dong, chairman of Shinhan Financial Group, led the New Year strategy meeting and stressed that leaders should have a "proactive mindset" and a "sense of responsibility" in driving innovation. He also called for swift execution, presenting artificial intelligence and digital transformation (AX·DX), productive finance, and financial consumer protection.
Shinhan Financial Group said on the 11th that it held the "2026 management strategy meeting" from the 8th to the 10th for three days and two nights at Shinhan Bank Blue Campus in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, with about 250 group executives attending.
The management strategy meeting, held under the theme "a bold narrative for future Shinhan," extended the schedule by one day compared with previous years, conducting an intensive three-day, two-night debate to strengthen innovation and execution. Each member of the management team diagnosed their own cases of failed innovation and pledged to innovate.
Jin chaired the management strategy meeting from start to finish himself without a separate moderator. The group said he put particular effort into this meeting, conceiving the theme since Aug. last year and overseeing everything from the debate format to the selection of speakers.
Jin said, "On the premise of fulfilling our duties as a corporate citizen, leaders of corporations must demonstrate strong execution for the organization's future," and added, "I ask you to be the spark of innovation and strengthen Shinhan's future competitiveness."
