1、 Eight practical experiences of Huawei's standardization construction: full chain methodology from strategy to implementation
The reason why Huawei's standardization work can lead the world is due to its systematic thinking and practical implementation of "standardization". The following eight experiences cover the entire process from top-level design to execution details:
1. Deeply participate in international standard organizations and gain global discourse power
Huawei has deeply integrated into over 400 international standard organizations, industry alliances, and open source communities, holding more than 400 important positions in core organizations such as 3GPP and IETF, and submitting nearly 60000 standard proposals. By transforming its technological advantages into international standards (such as using 5G polar codes as control channel coding schemes), Huawei has not only established a solid foundation in the international market, but also promoted the technological integration of the global communication industry.
2. Customer needs as the core, technology is "half a step ahead"
Huawei's standardization work always revolves around customer pain points. For example, in the development of communication equipment, by researching the network operation and maintenance needs of operators and developing multi standard fusion base stations, deployment costs are reduced while network service quality is improved, truly achieving the goal of "technology serving demand".
3. Build a standardized management system for the entire process
Huawei has established a standardized system covering all aspects of its business, from research and development, production to after-sales service. Ensure the efficiency of standard implementation through internal training, supervision and inspection, and dynamic optimization. This model of "system management of personnel and process management" has significantly improved the overall operational efficiency of enterprises.
4. Integration of technological innovation and standards to lead industrial upgrading
Huawei invests over 100 billion yuan in research and development every year to quickly transform innovative achievements into industry standards. The inclusion of key technologies in the 5G field into international standards not only consolidates its leading position in technology, but also drives collaborative innovation in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain.
5. Standardization of on-site operations to ensure execution quality
In frontline scenarios such as network operation and maintenance, Huawei has implemented 22 key systems (including SOP operation processes). Technical personnel strictly carry out equipment inspections and troubleshooting according to standards to ensure operational efficiency and network stability, and provide reliable services to customers.
6. Cross departmental collaboration standardization, breaking down organizational barriers
In large-scale projects, Huawei forms a joint team across research and development, marketing, and after-sales, achieving efficient collaboration through regular meetings and information sharing platforms. For example, when developing a new product, market feedback needs, R&D design plans, and after-sales maintenance suggestions are provided, and multiple parties work together to promote project implementation.
7. Standardized talent cultivation system, delivering professional strength
Huawei has developed standards for training data communication talents and a 5G certification framework. Through a combination of training and competition, technology competitions, and industry academia cooperation, Huawei aims to cultivate professional talents that meet industry needs and provide intellectual support for standardization work.
8. Continuously optimize and improve to maintain the vitality of standards
Huawei encourages employees to participate in process optimization and establishes a reward mechanism to stimulate innovation; Closely communicate with industry partners and customers, track best practices, dynamically adjust internal standards, and ensure that the enterprise always maintains an advantage in market competition.
2、 Ten inspirations for Huawei's standardized talent growth: the advanced path from "executor" to "leader"
The success of Huawei's standardization work cannot be separated from a talent team that understands technology, is proficient in standards, and can collaborate. Its talent growth path provides ten key insights for practitioners:
1. Strategic guidance: Anchoring career direction
Keeping up with national and corporate strategies (such as new energy vehicles and artificial intelligence), actively participating in the formulation of standards in key areas. For example, under the "dual carbon" goal, focusing on research on green technology standards not only promotes industrial development but also expands personal career space.
2. Diversified learning: Building a composite knowledge system
Breaking down professional barriers and cross disciplinary learning (such as communication+law, automotive engineering+Internet of Things). In the formulation of standards for intelligent connected vehicles, it is necessary to master both vehicle networking technology and information security regulations in order to develop practical standards across different fields.
3. Practice sharpening: improve practical operation ability
Participate in the whole process of standard development project (demand research, draft preparation, solicitation of opinions, release), in the 5G base station standard development, in-depth construction site collection of data, optimize the standard details, accumulate practical experience.
4. Open Cooperation: Expanding International Vision
Participate in the activities of international organizations such as 3GPP and learn the concept of international standards; cooperate with teams of different cultural backgrounds to promote the unification of global standards. For example, in the formulation of Internet of Things standards, coordinate the technical differences between China, Europe and the United States to enhance international influence.
5. Innovation-driven: driving standards iteration
Focus on technological innovation (e. g. block chain, big data analysis) and integrate new technologies into standards. For example, the field of big data needs to study the impact of data mining technology on data management standards in a timely manner, and promote the upgrading of standards.
6. Team Collaboration: Cohesion of Work
Cross-departmental collaboration (technology market law) is the norm. In the development of intelligent terminal security standards, technology to provide solutions, market feedback needs, legal to ensure compliance, multi-party cooperation to produce high-quality standards.
7. Problem-oriented: solving application problems
Go deep into the market and collect feedback on the implementation of standards. For example, in the application of building energy-saving standards, if it is found that the energy-saving effect is not as expected, the joint design and construction teams need to analyze the problem and optimize the details of the standard.
8. Continuous learning: keep knowledge updated
The ICT industry has a fast technological iteration and needs to regularly participate in training and academic conferences to learn new standard tools (such as blockchain standardization methods). For example, after the rise of blockchain, it is necessary to grasp its principles and application scenarios in time to develop reserve capacity for future standards.
9. Incentive guarantee: to stimulate enthusiasm for work
Enterprises need to establish a "material spirit" dual incentive mechanism (such as bonuses, internal recognition) to link standardized results with promotion; the government can set up standardized awards to create a good growth environment.
10. Cultural Shaping: Cultivating Value Identity
Enterprises should advocate the standardization culture of "rigorous, scientific and fair" and enhance the professional identity of practitioners. For example, through the construction of team culture, members are encouraged to support each other and jointly pursue the standard of excellence.
Conclusion: Standardization is the "hard power" of enterprises and the "new track" of talents"
Huawei's practice has proved that standardization is not only a "pass" for enterprise technology output, but also a "baton" for the high-quality development of the industry ". For standardization practitioners, they should not only learn from Huawei's construction experience of "from strategy to landing", but also arm themselves with "strategic vision, compound ability and open mind", so as to become "rule makers" rather than "followers" in the global standardization competition ".
In the future, with the increasingly urgent demand for standardization in various industries, every worker who is deeply involved in this field will write his own value on this track.
