[Key Lecture Content] In this lecture, in order to transform the "defensive" legal department into an "offensive strategic legal department" that contributes to management and business, I will talk about the journey (practical methods) of how I thought and acted while carrying out "organizational reform (restructuring)." This is based on my years of experience in legal departments, as well as my experience as a company executive overseas and as an auditor.

Specifically, I will share practical measures and mindsets as a leader, such as: 1) visualizing the current situation through 1-on-1 interviews and internal surveys to extract organizational issues; 2) looking ahead to the medium term (a 5-year goal) and reorganizing the structure by separating legal and patent affairs; and 3) building an organizational foundation to pass on to the next generation, including human resource development advocating the "3 Cs" and standardizing thought processes to eliminate reliance on specific individuals.

Chapter 1: Why did the legal department need "restructuring"? - From "defensive legal affairs" to "offensive and defensive strategic legal affairs" - The "light and shadow" faced upon taking office

Chapter 2: The First Step of Transformation: Visualizing the Current State (As-Is) - Conducting interviews within the "first 30 days of taking office" - Inventorying tasks and interviewing other departments

Chapter 3: Formulating a Mid-to-Long-Term Strategy (To-Be) and Organizational Restructuring - Envisioning the "3 to 5-year goal" - Executing organizational changes: Deepening expertise

Chapter 4: Practice of Human Resource Development: "People are the stone walls, people are the castle" - Transforming mindsets - Mechanisms to "visualize" growth

Chapter 5: Breaking away from Individual Dependency and Utilizing External Resources - Creating a "living business manual" - Legal expenses as investments

Conclusion: A Leader's Mindset for Guiding Transformation to Success
