Based on the evaluation results, the province will actively promote follow-up measures such as ▲ management efficiency consulting ▲ employee education ▲ establishment and reporting of management improvement plans for underperforming institutions. It will also review whether there are any areas for improvement in management evaluation indicators and evaluation criteria to induce continuous change and innovation in public enterprises and contribution institutions.

We will strive to strengthen the competitiveness of institutions under the province through continuous management improvement and thereby contribute to the development of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province."
