President Park Min-woo, head of Hyundai Motor and Kia's AVP division, presented the organization's vision and strategic direction through his first town hall meeting since taking office, and began full-fledged communication with executives and employees. President Park, who took office on the 23rd of last month, held a Q&A session on "Vision & Direction" with 650 employees who participated online and offline at Pangyo Tech One on the 5th.
President Park first thanked executives and employees for their hard work in building the technology of the SDV (software-oriented automobile) platform in the paradigm shift of the automobile industry. He emphasized that scalable hardware and excellent software technology must be organically fused for true mobility innovation, and shared a vision to combine Hyundai Motor Group's global hardware manufacturing capabilities with software technology.
In particular, "Execution" was cited as a key value as a way for AVP headquarters to work in the future. In order to become an implementation organization that applies the developed technology to actual mass-produced vehicles without errors, he urged them to have expertise, persistence, and agile execution. It also made it clear that the market should be preempted through the internalization of autonomous driving technology.In terms of collaboration, it emphasized the spirit of "One Team" and encouraged borderless communication inside and outside the organization. President Park defined the differences that arise in the process of making perfect products as "positive conflict" and called for active confrontation rather than avoiding it. He expressed that true innovation begins when information is shared with various departments in the group, such as R&D headquarters, design, and products, as well as cooperation between AVP headquarters and Forti2D.
Regarding improving organizational culture, the need for a flexible culture and an agile decision-making system was mentioned. In order to resolve the "silo" phenomenon, which is a barrier between organizations, it also suggested specific measures to speed up implementation by reducing unnecessary hierarchies and complex decision-making steps. President Park's leadership philosophy is setting transparent goals and building trust based on predictability, and explained that all teams should move autonomously under clear success criteria to maximize collaboration efficiency.Finally, President Park asked, "Please focus on creating the best technology that helps people, not technology for technology," and asked all executives and employees to participate in Hyundai Motor Group's leap forward as a next-generation intelligent mobility leader that harmonizes technology and people.
