"Complex" Wang Yu

Rome Rome.

Wang Yu is a versatile player who knows how to develop, plan, market and operate. At that time, Wang Yu not only outstanding personal ability, but also quite popular in the team. At that time, the Firefox studio, to Shang, tie, Wei Qing Such well-known gamers, are united in the Wang Yu side, the collective effort has been later "Tianlong eight" success.

Subsequently, because of "Tianlong eight" proud of the results, Firefox studios independently become a separate subsidiary of Sohu, and renamed Sohu Swim, Wang Yu as CEO. Swim also in 2009 independent listing, Wang Yu also reached the pinnacle of the cause.

Not long, as "Tianlong eight" main hero of the Shang left the Sohu swim founded Kirin game, the latter of the "Genghis Khan" has been Wang Yu thought is a plagiarism production. and Shang and "Genghis Khan" success also let Wang Yu management ideas have changed.

An employee who has been away from Sohu, close to Wang Yu, Wei (a pseudonym) said to Sina Science and technology, after the Wang Yu began to grasp the internal management of the tour, from the control of the extranet authority, to the computer USB and other output interface restrictions. Since then, Wang Yu has come to believe that a company needs a common spiritual belief to move forward better.

The house leaks on the night rain, in Wang Yu become more and more distrust of employees, "The Deer Ding Kee ol" performance flat let him firm, from the spiritual belief to change the idea of the company.

However, a series of changes in management, allowing the tour in the first two quarters after entering 2014, poor earnings, the net loss of 19.5 million U.S. dollars, net profit in the second quarter year-on-year decline of 97%, but also directly caused Sohu two consecutive quarterly sluggish performance. At this point, Sohu and swim will no longer be peaceful.

Excellent operating system

At the time of Wang Yu hesitation, Pan Wenjuan, who was working for Huawei in the two quarter of this year, Chen Deven in my declaration of battle, Wendy, has entered Wang Yu's vision. Pan Wenjuan, who has been in Huawei for 15 years, is mainly responsible for Huawei's strategic implementation and project management, and has also led the team in the deployment of Integrated product development (IPD) and Integrated Financial Services (IFS) systems.

Wang Yu valued Pan Wenjuan's management experience in Huawei and hoped that she would be able to establish standardized process management in the swim. To this end, the tour in January last year also dedicated to the establishment of Pan Wenjuan Chief Information Officer (CIO) position. Pan Wenjuan also officially began to promote the "excellent operating system."

The main responsibility of the excellent operation system is to help the business department to standardize the process, including combing the business process, setting up departmental documents, picking out the business problems, finally forming the department dismantling, turning all the business into a pipelined system, making all the business work modular, refined and "formalized". In this mode, all business across the company is applied and executed.

To this end, the tour also created a "remarkable operation system" department line of Business, the tour of the various departments and branch business processes to comb and plan, and also belong to its responsible for the "Regional & Service System" line of Business and "love heart Business Management department." Because of the general lack of business experience in the business line of operational excellence, the resulting process has led to the rejection and resistance of most employees, including Chen Deven.

According to Chen Deven, the operational excellence sector is expanding, with the number of people growing from 442 to 770 this year, who are generally unfamiliar with the business but have to shoulder the responsibility of helping the business sector develop processes that directly affect the current business.

It is reported that prompted Wang Yu to be removed the fuse is, Sohu Group management requirements of its internal staff in the swim more than 1000 people, including the entire excellent operating system and some non-essential personnel, but Wang Yu refused to implement Sohu's request, so that its management with the Sohu group contradictions become irreconcilable, The board was eventually exempted from his duties.
