I took the first train to Seoul today. At the Eugene Talent Development Institute in Jongno, I ran a full-day 'New Business Discovery' workshop for new hires at 'Hyundai Corporation.' Hyundai Corporation’s annual graduate hiring has stayed steady, with no major change in scale. What has clearly changed is the growing share of new hires who are foreign nationals or have extensive overseas experience.
Three teams each targeted a different country, industry, and customer. They analyzed customer needs, wants, and problems, then used a range of analyses and techniques to generate solution ideas. I was impressed by how bright and positive everyone stayed, without losing focus, from 8 a.m. until evening. Great work, everyone! ^^b
