In late June, before going to Sany Group for an interview, the reporter learned that they had a breakfast meeting for executives that was very distinctive, and our interview began with this breakfast meeting.

According to the staff of Sany Group, there will be two forms of breakfast: "traditional" and "group-wide". The traditional breakfast meeting is held by each business unit and subsidiary, but the group-wide breakfast meeting is attended by senior executives of each business unit and company, as well as executives from overseas bases, and is a global video conference.

On the day of the group-wide breakfast meeting, reporters arrived at the main venue early in the morning. The venue can seat two or three hundred people, and the large screens in front and behind display the video images of foreign bases and sub-venues outside Changsha in China. After a while, the executives who attended the meeting arrived one after another, and they all took the time to eat breakfast after taking their seats. At 7:30, the breakfast meeting officially began, presided over by Tang Xiuguo, President of Sany Group.

*5656 items on the agenda are coordination matters. At the meeting, six matters that needed to be coordinated within the group were proposed, and Tang Xiuguo asked for a clear resolution time on the spot. The reporter felt that the communication was very pragmatic and frank, and the decision-making efficiency was very high.

The second item on the agenda was the notification of the matter. The inventory turnover was reported first, and the names and turnover of the top 3 and bottom 3 companies in the turnover rate were displayed on the big screen. Tang Xiuguo asked to explain the situation one by one for the three companies with poor turnover rates, and he did not praise all the three companies with better data, but proposed to make a specific analysis of the data and make persistent efforts.

The third item on the agenda was a provisional matter. Several decisions on personnel appointments, dismissals, commendations, and punishments were announced at the meeting.

The meeting was dispersed, the executives left, and Tang Xiuguo started to eat breakfast. He suggested that the reporter attend the breakfast meeting of the business department again to get a more comprehensive understanding of the company's breakfast meeting.

The next day, the reporter attended the breakfast meeting of the pumping division. The Pumping Division is a business unit of Sany Group*5655, and its sales and profits are very important. It is also a video conference, and the pictures of several branches in the field are displayed on the big screen. The matters coordinated and implemented by the meeting were more specific, and more than 10 product quality issues were displayed on the screen one by one, the host was held accountable one by one, and the relevant units answered one by one. The atmosphere of the venue was more serious and the accountability was more detailed.

Some employees told reporters that such breakfast meetings have lasted for more than 20 years. In the early days of the company's business, the veterans ate and lived in the unit, and discussed work while eating every morning, which gradually became a habit and system, so it continues to this day.

What did such a breakfast meeting bring to Sany?

It's stressful. An executive who attended the meeting told reporters that the first night had to prepare for the next day's breakfast meeting. Once the meeting has begun, it may be called at any time. Breakfast will bring executives to work with enthusiasm.

Very efficient. Nowadays, the breakfast meeting has become an important decision-making "tool" of Sany Group, and the company's new strategic ideas and decisions are uploaded to the *5656 leaders of each department at the breakfast meeting; The company's executives know the reaction of customers and the market in a timely manner, communicate on the spot, and make decisions on the spot. After the meeting, the reporter followed up and interviewed several matters that were decided at the breakfast meeting, and found that they were all being seriously implemented.

Value "pulpit". The breakfast meeting is usually presided over by Liang Wengen, chairman of heavy industry. In addition to making decisions, Liang Wengen also continued to preach the enterprise spirit of "serving the country by industry" at the breakfast meeting, interpreting the business philosophy of "all for customers, all from innovation", and emphasizing the core values of "being a man first, then doing things".

Every day at Trinity starts with a breakfast meeting. Sany people are practicing the dream of "quality changes the world" step by step......
