第26章 Tear Down This Wall (8) (6)

We at Lenovo will create an inspiring culture of ethics,performance,teamwork and professional development.

Some of these might appear to be big aspirations. I want you to know that we’re committed to them,and that while I expect progress every day,every week,these aspirations will take years to fully achieve.

Now to get this done we have a broad 3-phase plan. Phase one began on December 8th,and will continue well into the beginning of 2006.

Our second phase has also begun. And each project in phase 2 will be at least 12 to 24 months in length.

Our third phase will launch when we stand before the world as the IT sponsor of the Olympics in February of 2006.

Finally,I want to wrap up by speaking about the values of Lenovo. Those of us who came from IBM created“new”values only 18 months ago —— as part of a“Values Jam”that all IBM employees participated in. Our Lenovo colleagues have been guided for the last several years by four key values. Its no coincidence that the values Lenovo has worked by are so similar to the values held by PCD.

First:Serving customers

We are dedicated to the satisfaction and success of every customer.

Second:Innovative and entrepreneurial spirit

This means innovation that matters to our customers and our company created and delivered with speed and efficiency.

Third:Accuracy and truth-seeking

This means we manage our business and make decisions based on carefully understood facts.

And Fourth:Trustworthiness and integrity

Meaning trust and personal responsibility in all relationships.

I’ve seen first hand what each you expect of yourselves and what you can do. It’s nothing short of amazing. We have before us an extraordinary opportunity to make a difference for our customers and to succeed at this exciting new venture.

So that’s it... a short list of difficult but achievable aspirations.

A 3-phase plan of how well go from a new company to one that uses its competitiveness to aggressively grow.

And four clear values punctuated with the word integrity that will guide our decisions and our behavior.

This is our opportunity and our time. Let’s go make the most of it.

Thank you and congratulations.

现在,我们谈一下我们公司的愿景,以及实现愿景的三个步骤。我们要成为我们能够成为的一切。

第一:服务客户

联想将为企业及个人客户提供最好的客户体验。

第二:股东利益

联想将成为投资人的选择。我们将在未来的2年、5年以及10年内实现业界领先的股东回报。

第三:财务目标

联想将在3年内使利润水平翻番,并实现超出业界水平的营业额增长。

第四:市场地位

联想将在未来每年间,不断提高我们的市场地位。我们将选择投资于能令我们在利润或市场份额方面成为第一或第二的市场。

第五是我对我们,选择来到联想工作的每一名员工的愿景。

我们将创造一个注重职业道德、业绩导向、团队精神以及职业发展的公司文化。

以上提到的可能是非常宏伟的愿景。我希望你们知道我们一定要努力达到我们的目标,我希望我们每天,每星期都向着我们的目标前进。所有这些愿景需要长年的努力才能实现。

为了达成这些愿景,我们订立了三个阶段的规划。第一阶段于2005年12月8日已经开始,并将持续到2006年初。

第二阶段也已经开始,这个阶段的项目将历时12~24个月。

第三阶段将于2006年2月——我们以奥运会IT赞助商的身份面向世界的时候启动。

……

最后我想谈一下联想的核心价值观。18个月前在全体IBM员工参与的“企业价值观大融合”活动中,PCD创造了一个“新的价值观”。而联想的同事们多年来一直由四个核心价值观所指导。PCD和联想的价值观是如此的相似,而这绝非巧合。

第一:服务客户

我们致力于实现每一个客户的满意和成功。

第二:创业创新

我们将高效地创造并实现我们客户需要的创新科技和产品。

第三:精准求实

我们将基于仔细研究的事实进行决策及管理我们的业务。

第四:诚信共享

在所有合作关系中取得信任和负起个人的责任。

我已经亲身体验了你们每一个人的愿望和能力,这令我非常惊讶。我们正面临一个令人兴奋的机遇,为我们的客户提供价值并取得成功。

关于我们的愿景我先谈到这里,虽然有很多困难但还是可以实现的。

我们的三阶段规划勾勒出了我们新公司如何运用竞争力实现迅速增长。

我们清晰的4个核心价值观点出了诚信是指导我们决策和行为的准则。

各位,这是属于我们的机会和时刻。让我们全力以赴投身其中吧!

谢谢!并再次表示祝贺。

The Speech About IBM

IBM总裁的演讲

Gerstiner/杰斯特尼

第一章 The Speech About Lenovo (2)

Good evening! It is a great honor for me to share this stage with the Lord Mayor,chief executive of Hannover,with Mr. Yang,and in a few minutes with Chancellor Kohl. I have been looking forward to this evening for a long time,because I have known for many years how important CeBIT is to the global Information Technology industry. So before I go any further I want to thank you very much for inviting me to participate in this important forum.

Now I have given a lot of thought as to what I would say to you this evening. On the one hand,I am here as a representative of the Information Technology industry on the event that is bigger by orders of magnitude than any other technology exhibit. That is quite a statement in a industry that is good at many things,especially celebrating its own creations. On the other hand,like most of you,I have spent most of my professional life as a customer of this industry. So I know that after the splash and promises comes the harsh light of morning and often the customer is left standing alone wondering what happened,or as the head of one of our most important German customers put it,“Yours is an industry that is very good at weddings and not so good at marriages.”

So tonight,while I will talk about the power and potential of Information Technology,I hope the temper of my remarks with the perspective I had when I came to IBM five years ago,the perspective of a customer.
