Google is an innovative company. It has always encouraged employees to actively innovate. The most well-known rule is its 70%/20%/10% rule. In addition to spending 70% of their time on core searches and advertisements, employees are also allowed to spend 20% of their work time on related projects, and the remaining 10% are free to use. Many of Google's ideas come from over 20% + 10% of the time.
Om Malik recently met Rajen sheth, Google's enterprise product manager, at the Web2.0 conference. Rajen sheth makes public a secret inside Google, that is, how Google specifically encourages and collects employee ideas. The procedure is as follows:
Google encourages all its employees to write down what they have learned or want to share. Five lines should be written, and there should be no more or less to share them with their colleagues. Since only five lines can be written, Google employees must be very concentrated and refined. Content can be anything. After the email is sent to the specified place, Google uses its own search engine to index all the mail content so that all employees can search for them at any time.
This is a typical example of "brainstorming. I wonder if other enterprises in China adopt similar methods?
