Chapter 256: Subverting Old Ideas
Xu Xincheng said very seriously: "My idea is that before we start to invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to develop subversive mobile phones, before we officially challenge several major overlords in the mobile phone industry, the first thing we need to subvert is something else." ”
"What is it?" Lucy asked curiously, her eyes glistening with encouragement.
Xu Xincheng looked at that gaze, he understood in an instant, with Lucy's cleverness, of course she knew what he said, but she still cooperated with him to sell the guanzi, which made him really moved.
He took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and said, "The first thing we need to subvert is our minds, our old thoughts. I have known and worked with senior managers such as General Manager Li and Director Qiao for more than a year, and I have a certain understanding of them, and they are also the same as me just now, they also feel that the overlords of the mobile phone industry are invincible, and they feel that Company A is invincible.
One of the most important reasons why our H6 smartphones have fallen so badly and why our smartphone R&D level is so low is that we have fallen behind from the beginning, and from the very beginning we have decided that the hegemons are invincible, and all we can do is to follow and follow up.
I think we should advise everyone to take a good look at the book "The Innovator's Dilemma" and let them change their mindset and realize that those companies are not invincible, just like me now, so that they can gradually build confidence. Only then can we do a better job and be more likely to truly develop disruptive mobile phones and other disruptive products. ”
"Very good, it's a very good idea!"
"Okay, I will inform General Manager Li and Director Qiao, inform them to buy a copy of the "Innovator's Dilemma" e-book, ask them to read it as soon as possible, and then, everyone will write a summary. I'll read it myself as soon as I can, and then add what we've just discussed, and write a summary myself. I will hold a seminar with General Manager Li and Director Qiao in the near future. I estimate that one seminar is not enough, at least two, if not enough, more until everyone fully understands, understands, agrees and grasps the gist of it. ”
He paused, took a deep breath, and said in a firm tone: "In short, my idea is that we must get the company's top management to subvert the old ideas as soon as possible, we must let the new ideas replace the old ideas, and we must build up the confidence that we can defeat the strong competitors." After that, we also need to get the middle and senior managers of the company, all the technical staff, to subvert their old ideas. To this end, we can conduct a company-wide project study and seminar within the company. ”
"Good. I agree. This needs a person in charge, Steve, would you like to be the leader?"
"No problem. I do. Xu Xincheng nodded firmly, "I will complete a specific implementation plan the morning after tomorrow, and then submit it to you for approval." ”
"Very good. Steve, the thing we've just decided on is very important, and it's a big deal that I want to discuss with you. When he said the second half of the sentence, Lucy's expression became solemn.
The look on Xu Xincheng's face also became a little more serious, and he knew that whenever Lucy's expression became solemn, what she was about to say was very important.
"Whether it's a person or a company, to make a real difference, you need to start with a change in thinking," Lucy said solemnly. A person, in order to be radically changed, must first radically change in thought. For a company to change completely, it must first change completely in thinking. In short, change starts with thoughts.
Before moving to the office of the New Era Industrial Park, Hongfei AI Division does need a thorough change, a transformation, and this transformation, the place that needs to transform the most, is not in the company's office, nor in the company's laboratory, or even in the company's rules and regulations and management mechanism, but in everyone's thinking, everyone must completely change from the ideology.
Since the establishment of the company, we have also done a lot of work, we have adjusted and optimized the company's organizational structure, formulated new rules and regulations, optimized the company's management mechanism and assessment and promotion mechanism, etc., and also improved and optimized the company's technology and products, but there is one most important thing, this more than a month, we have not begun to do it formally, that thing is ideological innovation. ”
"Yes. Xu Xincheng firmly agreed. Suddenly, a question occurred to him, and he hesitated slightly, but he still spoke his words, "Lucy, why didn't you mention it until today when you know that ideological innovation is the most important thing?"
"Steve, everything has to pay attention to the right time, the right place, and the right people, only at the most right time, by the most suitable people, to do the most suitable things, in order to achieve the best results. The reason why this matter was not mentioned before was because the time was not yet ripe. ”
"Understood. Now the time is ripe, isn't it?"
"Yes. ”
"The time is ripe because you're ready. ”
"Huh!?" Xu Xincheng was a little surprised, and he cast an inquiring glance at Lucy.
"I am the leader of this ideological innovation, but you are the leader who really leads everyone to carry out ideological innovation together. The fact that you have just proposed to carry out a company-wide study and seminar among the top managers of the company and that you have not hesitated to take on the burden of being the first person in charge is the best proof that you are ready. ”
Xu Xincheng was stunned when he heard this, just now, the reason why he proposed it was because he felt that this matter was very important to the company, and the reason why he agreed to become the person in charge was because he felt that this matter was actually not difficult, because he felt that this was what he should do for Lucy and the company. He really didn't think too much about it just now, but he didn't expect Lucy to attach so much importance to this matter, and raised the nature of this matter to the height of ideological innovation, and her improvement suddenly increased the importance of this matter many times, and now it has become a strategic and important matter.
This made him feel a little weak, because he knew that such a major matter, logically speaking, should be in charge of someone at the level of the company's CEO, preferably a vice president or CEO, or at least a general manager. However, his position is only the assistant to the chairman, and with his powers and responsibilities, he is actually completely inadequate to take on this important responsibility.
Xu Xincheng said with some humility: "Lucy, I am willing to take on the burden, but this matter is really very important, if there is a more suitable person, such as General Manager Li, I am willing to take charge of this matter as his helper." ”
"Steve, you're the right fit. ”
"Huh?" Xu Xincheng whispered "ah".
