As far as the population composition of the Ba people is concerned, part of it comes from Pengfei Technology, part of it comes from fruit research and development, and a group of elders are found by Chu Yuanxi, mostly freelancers, and the mountains and contempt chains are all together, and the disease of large companies is almost inevitable.
However, there is a very simple way to deal with the disease of large companies, that is, not to engage in KPIs.
Although the chain of disdain between the mountains and the departments are the two elements of the disease of large companies, neither of them is direct to KPIs. The key point that the KPI system wants to bypass is flat management.
Why do many companies take KPIs as a guideline?
A company's performance ultimately depends on the project to reflect, it can be said that the project is the vitality of the company, but the carrier of the project is the project team, but the project team is the bottom, up to the level of departments, business divisions, platforms, companies, groups and so on. There are too many levels of departments, and without KPIs, the superiors don't even know what the subordinates are doing, let alone how they are doing.
But if the company is flat, with no more than two levels between the group president and the front-line employees, then things are simple, and there is no need to quantify the performance of the project team with KPIs at all.
Of course, Chu Yuanxi knows where the difficulties of this flat management lie, but the company he is committed to building should be such a structure, which requires a huge effort from the president of the group, but this kind of effort can also bring huge returns.
If there is no KPI bothering, the problem of the mountain is easy to solve because it is easy to tear apart the mountain, and the chain of contempt can also melt because it should not exist in the first place.
Fundamentally, the disease of large companies is caused by the neglect of collective interests by small units at the grassroots level in order to protect themselves. The best state for an employee is that the company is very good, there are good people on the left and right, and I am doing very well, but even if I do a very good job, others are not necessarily good, or others are also very good, but they do not cooperate well with me, so the project will have problems.
Who's to blame for the problem? That's going to have to say, first of all, it's definitely not my problem, or I'm going to clean up my own problem first.
Therefore, when I work in a company that suffers from the disease of a large company, the first thing I need to do is not how the company is doing or what the project I am working on, but whether my work is done well. This state will obviously go wrong, because everyone "completes their work well" does not mean that the project is done well, and if the project is done well, the cooperation between various functional departments is not good, and the company may not be able to do well.
In particular, this problem is especially evident when prioritizing one's own work versus cooperating with others to secure the product.
Chu Yuanxi once encountered two strange game planners who fought, it was a Three Kingdoms type game, but the numerical planner had never seen the Three Kingdoms, so he put four Lu Bu on the position. The copywriting planner sprayed at the time, and the numerical planner said innocently: It's because the needs of your copywriting planning are not clear, and there is no demand that there can be no four Lu Bu on a array.
This pot seems to be numerically planned, but why did he build this pot? Because he needs to prioritize his work, as for the quality of the product, whether the player sprays it or not, that's not something he needs to think about, and he ignores it.
If you dig deeper, the root of this mistake is actually that the setting of the combat system is not rigorous, if you need a boss in each level when designing the combat system, then this boss must be unique in this level and this formation, and there will be no problem of four Lu Bu.
This kind of problem can occur within a project team, and there are more problems that require cooperation between project teams or cross-departmental cooperation.
Later, why did Pengfei Technology get worse and worse, and it fell to the point where the cows still need to kneel and lick the information of the waves with cash in hand? It is because the disease of a large company has eroded this company.
In the memory bank of Chu Yuanxi, the salted fish in this world, he clearly remembers that around 2015, there was a very awesome toB project that did well, but it was almost online, and it was found that the technology used infringed on other people's patents, and then the team and the project team responsible for providing technical solutions passed the buck to each other, so that the project that was still saved knelt down and sang the conquest.
This is also the reason why almost all companies require work communication to go by email, many people are taboo to communicate verbally, because there is no verbal certificate, and the email is left at the bottom, and the time can be fair to divide the pot with the scene.
However, this way of working will inevitably usher in the repeated combing of the work process, because the workflow design is generally led by one party at the beginning, so only consider that they don't care about the life or death of others, and the other party immediately finds that it is not good for them after the work starts, and then begins to tear up.
So the milestone was set for six months, the first three months were the first to fight, and finally the various units were guaranteed to nod, but they were all done awkwardly, everyone was fine, but the project collapsed and the company did not make any money.
Therefore, the manifestation of the disease of large companies is a large amount of internal friction, which occurs in each unit to strive for self-protection, and KPI is a weapon for them to divide the pot and protect themselves.
Internal friction is not equal to infighting, and if it develops into infighting, it is already terminally ill.
This reason is clear, because he experienced a round of large company illness when he first entered a bike-sharing company in the original world to start a business, which is also one of the reasons why he resolutely decided to accept Zheng De's invitation to start a business independently after he was a company executive in that company.
The disease of large companies is a very annoying disease, but it should not be feared, and even the most difficult problems can be solved, not to mention that they can be prevented before they occur? The reason why flat management can curb the disease of large companies is that there is no need to divide the pot. It doesn't make sense for me to do my job well, because my contribution is not reflected in the KPIs, but the damage caused to the company is visible.
He Namei looked at Chu Yuanxi as if she didn't know the height of the sky, but she didn't say anything in her heart. She knew that Chu Yuanxi was just ventilating and had no intention of discussing with them, and fundamentally no one was qualified to discuss with Chu Yuanxi except Zhu Wei. Therefore, what is the urgency of this girl?
Zhao Jie was very excited after listening to the idea of internal incubation, but Yang Jiangang was interested in PKI and lacked interest in incubating entrepreneurship.
This was quite surprising to Chu Yuanxi, he thought that Yang Jiangang would be very excited because of the opportunity to incubate entrepreneurial projects, but he didn't know that Yang Jiangang said something he didn't expect.
