● How to integrate talent, processes, and resources to achieve an organic combination of knowledge management, technological innovation, and operational management, fully empowering R&D innovation?
The knowledge-based innovation management practices of the Yunnan Tobacco Technology Center have certain reference significance for solving the above problems.
Knowledge empowers innovation,
Building a world-class tobacco research institution
Yunnan Tobacco Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yunnan Tobacco") integrates cigarette production and sales, tobacco material supply, scientific research, and diversified operations, making it the largest provincial tobacco company in terms of cigarette production and sales scale in the country.
As the core R&D institution of the Yunnan Tobacco industrial system, how to enhance its R&D capabilities and gain and expand its technological advantages in related research fields is the core proposition of the technology center. The construction of a knowledge management system, a technological innovation management system, and a "Knowledge +" model can achieve integrated management and organic integration of talents, processes, and resources for technological innovation, providing strategic support for solving this proposition. In this regard, Yunnan Tobacco decided to partner with Lanling to first establish a knowledge-based open innovation platform at the technology center.
▲ Project planning blueprint
The new platform encompasses multiple platforms such as knowledge management platform, technological innovation platform, and administrative service center, creating various innovative applications such as co-creation space, knowledge warehouse, review system, intellectual resource pool, and E-Learning training, and extending knowledge management to management and business fields, forming an intelligent aggregation of positions, processes, and institutional maps, allowing knowledge and intellectual resources to support and regulate the operation of the technology center, while driving the establishment of an open technological innovation system, helping the technology center to achieve the standardization of innovative business processes, centralization of resources, and assetization of results, moving towards the goal of "becoming a world-class tobacco research institution"!
Building an intellectual resource pool,
Activating core talent assets
As a core R&D department, the management and development of talent resources are crucial. The technology center unifies the management of talent resources through the establishment of an intellectual resource management system and transforms them into intellectual assets, achieving the appreciation and inheritance of knowledge assets.
▲ Intellectual cloud application model
▋ Multi-dimensional query of intellectual resources, quickly forming research teams
The intellectual cloud platform aggregates talent resources and obtains information such as "project experience, work experience, research achievements" of relevant talents through business systems, outlining a "person profile" that includes personal cards, basic information, experience achievements, etc., and categorizing talents by source, professional field, position, and skill expertise, fully highlighting the advantages of talents in their respective fields, making it convenient for R&D personnel to quickly find corresponding expert support when forming project teams.
The intellectual cloud platform has a built-in "network recommendation" function, allowing users to follow relevant experts and build a personal intellectual resource library, accumulating "expert connections."
▋ Connecting technological project platforms to achieve resource intercommunication
The platform has been connected with the technological project platform: when applying for projects, existing information in the intellectual resource pool does not need to be re-entered and can be directly selected from the intellectual cloud; in addition, during project applications, the system will automatically match project participants with personnel information in the intellectual resource pool, and in cases of unsuccessful matches, new personnel information will be written into the intellectual resource pool, continuously enriching the intellectual resource information in the intellectual cloud.
▋ Building a digital screen to dynamically grasp resource status
By building a digital screen, comprehensive and dynamic understanding of various information such as the total number of intellectual resources, technological project achievements, distribution of academic degrees, expert professional fields, and research directions is achieved, providing important references for the introduction and cultivation of intellectual resources in the technology center.
▲ Digital screen
▋ Online learning and training, empowering talents to grow rapidly
The technology center has established a talent development and learning system and built an E-Learning training platform, dividing the course system according to the job system, covering more than 10 series of courses including party building series, project management series, new tobacco series, strategic research series, etc., supporting employees' online learning, fully empowering employees' learning and growth, and further promoting the improvement of R&D efficiency and capabilities.
Full-process management of technological projects,
Rapidly consolidating research achievements
As one of the responsible parties for group project management, the technology center involves numerous technological projects in its business operations. How to effectively consolidate the experience and achievements generated during the project process for convenient reuse and to avoid redundant R&D? By establishing a technological innovation platform (covering multiple modules such as technological projects, expert reviews, and achievement management), unified management of group technological projects, resources, and achievements has been achieved, effectively solving the above problems.
▋ Building a review management platform to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the review process
The technological project platform supports the entire electronic process from project application to approval, implementation, conclusion, award, and archiving, facilitating centralized management of the entire project process.
The entire process of technological projects involves multiple "expert review" stages. By building a review management platform and connecting it with the technological project platform and expert database, data intercommunication is achieved, realizing integrated management of project approval reviews, annual report reviews, project revision reviews, acceptance/termination/conclusion reviews, and achievement reviews, promoting a more efficient, standardized, and transparent review process.
▲ Review management interface (iPad version)
▋ Creating a technological achievement supermarket to effectively consolidate knowledge assets
When technological achievements are archived after review, they will be included in the achievement management platform, effectively consolidating knowledge assets related to technological projects. Through the achievement management platform, compliance review and archiving management of patents, papers, software copyrights, copyrights, standards, honors, trademarks, and other technological achievements have been realized, forming a technological achievement supermarket for Yunnan Tobacco.
▋ Establishing an enterprise standard library to support orderly and reasonable production and operation.
By building an enterprise standard library, Yunnan Tobacco has achieved full-process management of standard demand submission, consultation, release, and implementation. The enterprise standard library includes various types of standards such as technical standards, management standards, and work standards, supporting users in multi-dimensional queries and assisting the group in standardized production and operation.
Build a co-creation space to create an innovative cultural atmosphere.
By building co-creation spaces and project communities, a platform is provided for all employees to communicate and discuss, fully tapping into valuable employee ideas, creating a culture of creation and innovation, and promoting the successful initiation and progress of projects.
Portal + Knowledge Recommendation,
Comprehensively assist administrative management.
The technology center has collaborated with Lanling to optimize various processes such as financial management, administrative management, and technology management, and implement them electronically, achieving efficient process flow and improving overall management levels.
Unify the administrative service portal to create an efficient office entry.
By building multi-role portals for finance, human resources, procurement, and administration, the personalized office needs of employees in different departments and positions are met, promoting the efficient handling of various matters.
Administrative Service Portal
Scenario-based knowledge recommendation to improve process application efficiency.
By structurally describing job knowledge, system knowledge, and process knowledge, and combining it with knowledge graph technology, corresponding job maps, system maps, and process maps are constructed, forming interrelated relationships among various types of knowledge.
With the help of knowledge graphs, the platform can achieve "intelligent search"; when users search for a certain system, the platform will automatically recommend information related to that system, such as processes and job experts; it can also achieve scenario-based knowledge recommendations; when users apply for a process, the platform will automatically push knowledge related to the process, helping to make the process reporting more accurate and efficient.
