The mask order was long overdue and finally landed in mid-April.

I went shopping last weekend, and I ran into two or three people who didn't wear masks along the way.Places like supermarkets have long denied entry to people without masks. As a result, I met an unprotected elderly resident at the door on the same day, arguing with the registration staff.I was passing by just in time to hear him say "excuse me" before I knew it - a very loud sneeze.

This time, he had to wear it if he didn't wear it. He might be really embarrassed, so he put on the mask and left without going into the supermarket.

Singaporeans love to run, and there has been some discussion about whether or not to wear a mask when exercising outdoors.After all, the function of the heart and lungs of the elderly is worse. It is human nature to feel out of breath wearing a mask.But that sneeze really freaked me out.

I'm pretty good, and the registration staff at the supermarket may have been used to seeing all kinds of things in the world these days, so they didn't respond; but the young man who went in together was very vigilant, and avoided it from a distance, frowning.I thought to myself that he hasn't coughed yet. If he coughs, how nervous is this person?

Of course, unruly people are not welcome anywhere.

It's disappointing to promise something and not deliver, with BCG's framework proposal dragging on until Thursday's meeting.That day was NO.16, fifteen days had passed since the date they promised.

As far as I know, people from BCG would not do such a thing.What's more, Xu Xin, the project manager, has been working for many years, so he is not unaware of the negative effects of such delays.Besides, Miss Pender is also on the project.They'd be better off grabbing the client's attention with a small deliverable first than they are now.

What is the plan?

I didn't get a good night's sleep until Thursday.

The big boss attended the meeting in person.He usually invites Jocelyn to participate in meetings with BCG, and sometimes the scenes we discuss are really ugly, and it is not appropriate for the big boss to be there; it may be based on the same considerations, and Miss Pan De is not present every time.The number of times the two collide is very limited, and today is the third time.

The host of the meeting was Xu Xin, who put himself on top.I zoomed out of the presentation and focused mostly on the faces of the participants.

Behind Miss Pender is a large wall of books.They are all paperback books, and some of the spines are old, and she thinks she often reads them.She looked well-groomed.

I moved my shoulders and neck quietly to watch Xu Xin perform.

This is indeed a desperate plan. The new sectoral framework proposed by BCG seems impossible at first glance.In their plan, the two departments were merged together, and a part of the external department staff in the support post was absorbed, so that there was a large team.As for the assignment of the project team, each person in charge of the large team will act as the supervisor. Today I may be helping Kevin, and when it comes to tomorrow's new project, it may be that a young general like Rubenting leads a group of veterans to work alone. .

The personnel structure is naturally flatter, and the work model and delivery process are of course more unified, but this is irrelevant.

Such a bold innovation can only be called nonsense.

Advocating "bullshit" is not my job.Lao Huang is charging forward, and I think the big boss is also suffering very hard, but in his position, he cannot speak easily.

The boss and Kevin didn't talk to each other, and Sanjay and I were in the same situation, watching the fire from the other side.

Once it comes to specific issues, it is difficult for BCG people to convince Lao Huang.It doesn't matter whether they can convince Lao Huang, what matters is how the scene looks: as far as my senses are concerned, I think Xu Xin is being questioned.

As a project manager, he is clearly one of the best.Xu Xin from the consulting company is very good, but most of the people present have a consulting background. It takes a little effort to distinguish which of his words are true and which are false.

Miss Pender was unhurried, but her smile faded.

I had a premonition in my heart, and she immediately said, "Can I say a few words?"

"Of course." Xu Xin closed the document presentation, and the picture of Miss Pan De appeared at the front.

I scanned around, and almost everyone cheered up at the same time.An Ning was ranked very high because of her initials, so she seemed a little sleepy.Hearing Miss Pender's voice, she sat upright all of a sudden, and even looked for the white balance with the camera for two or three seconds, and it was the one that changed the most in a quick glance.

I find it a little funny.At this moment, Miss Pender glanced at her camera, but it seemed to me that she was almost looking directly at me.

I controlled my expression and buried myself in notes.

"I don't know if any of you watch ball games." Miss Pender said straightforwardly, "The concept of a giant team is not uncommon, and its effect on digging talents and improving game performance has been proven. Suppose a team has only With 20 players, the starting 11 may not change much throughout the season. The bench players have been sitting on the bench, and the main players have been injured frequently. This is not the best state of the team."

This metaphor is a good idea.I knew she was going to rephrase their framework with a different expression, so she cared more about the technical details.

Like those ball lovers who pay more attention to strategy and coaching teams, she began to talk: "But if our team has 50 people, 80 people, or even more, we can play games within the team. The members of each position no longer need to sit on the bench, they can get training during the game, and then gain the possibility of technical improvement. There is no need to let the main players play in all games, and the decline in the injury rate is inevitable.

"In this way, although the winning percentage at the beginning may not be as good as before, the results of key games are always guaranteed. More importantly, everyone in the team can play their own value. Even those lost games, Young players who get the opportunity to play can also gain experience in the game, and the main players maintain a sense of crisis at all times, so as to achieve the progress of the entire team."

"This is not a team." Lao Huang said, "We are discussing a company, this is a business behavior."

Miss Pender's aggression in the video is greatly weakened because it is not face-to-face.She smiled and said, "Modern ball games are also commercial."

checkmate.

Old Huang was careless.

Miss Pender continued: "I understand that there may be some concerns. For the team, some unimportant games may not matter if they lose. But for a company, even non-core businesses sometimes serve as a strategic defense. Moreover, the situation is always related, and there is continuity in business, so it cannot be said that it is completely equivalent to team management.”

I raised my vigilance.

To be honest, judging from the expressions, everyone's expressions are a little more relaxed.Whether it is true or not is unknown, but now is a dangerous time, so it is not an exaggeration to cheer up.

"The injury rate also exists in the enterprise. Think of it as a KPI, or the last elimination system. If the injury of the project leader can be minimized..." She used silence as a hint, and then said, "There are enough options. Large projects also mean richer communication among employees. I have always believed that experience is one of the greatest assets of a company. Once the structure of a giant team can be realized, the enthusiasm and communication density of employees will be greatly improved——

"And this is very consistent with the genes of Internet companies."

This is the lifeblood of our company.

Just as I was trying my best to think of a way to break the trick, someone from my own side actually spoke up.I can't believe it, but the facts are in front of me...

It's our big boss.

What did I say, he's a workaholic.The plan appealed to him.

The big boss asked for some technical details.I'm one head and two big, and the boss doesn't have to fight melee, and of course he can maintain his poker face; but even Kevin's side seems to be in a mess, so it's not just me who is surprised.I mechanically used shorthand to write down the questions I heard, but it was purely English translation, and I was thinking about something else in my mind.

"Maybe we can listen to the ideas of the executives who have served as specific businesses. As for the executives, I think both Yao and Sanjie have a say." Miss Pan De called their names.

Although she symbolically delineated a range, the participants, whether from our company or BCG, probably knew that she wanted me to speak.The big boss also nodded. Sanjay obviously wouldn't take the initiative to ask for a job, so I have to say this.

my first assignment?

I slowly cover my pen within view of the camera.When I spoke, no doubt even Miss Pender couldn't detect the slightest flaw.I said, "This is a very beautiful framework structurally, very constructive, and I think it works."

BCG's expression changed.

Before the big boss asked, I added: "Different from multiple-choice questions, business work usually has only a single goal, but no single solution. Although this is a feasible solution, it will inevitably face many execution problems in implementation. The giant team model In the framework of BCG, it is compensated by the so-called 'unified delivery process', right?"

"You're right." It was Xu Xin who answered.

I try to keep being kind to them in terms of wording, and at the same time try to point out the problem: "In this way, the running-in can be systematically alleviated to a certain extent, and I am very interested in this process-in any case, I guess we can look at it as a separate deliverable, right? It's going to work a lot even in the usual office."

Kevin was the first to come to his senses, but Miss Pender almost followed.

It's scary, what did this woman grow up eating?

I didn't give them a chance to interrupt me: "Although there may be several project teams, in a giant team, our style of doing things will gradually converge. New, I remember you mentioned that the working model will also adapt accordingly. Adjustment, right?"

I just asked symbolically, and as soon as he responded, I continued without leaving a single gap: "This is also the key to the giant team mode. Like Sonia said, this is a team, isn't it?"

Miss Pender spoke first.Xu Xin might want to explain something, but he should have stopped as soon as he heard Miss Pan De's voice.As soon as she opened her mouth, I found that she knew exactly what I was thinking.If it was Xu Xin, I could still forcefully interrupt him to interfere with his narrative rhythm; unfortunately, it is Miss Pan De on the opposite side.

It is said that the king did not see the king, forcing Miss Pan De to end in person, but the big boss is still sitting on the Diaoyutai, so I have nothing to blame.
