Editor's note: In June 2020, the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform reviewed and approved the "Three-Year Action Plan for State-owned Enterprise Reform (2020-2022)". The three-year action plan for the reform of state-owned enterprises is a specific construction plan for implementing the "1+N" policy system and top-level design of state-owned enterprise reform in the next three years. It is of great significance to strengthen, improve and expand the state-owned economy, enhance the vitality of state-owned enterprises, improve efficiency, and accelerate the construction of a new development pattern. During this process, a group of good experiences and good practices emerged. For this reason, Xinhuanet launched a series of planning "Dialogue with the Heads of State-owned Enterprises" to explain the experiences and practices in the reform through interviews with relevant leaders of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises to enjoy the benefits of readers. This issue is about China Southern Power Grid Group.
Xinhuanet, Beijing, July 6 (Yang Xiaobo) At the critical node of the three-year action plan for state-owned enterprise reform, for South China Power Grid Company , more than 60% of the overall task has been completed, and half of the time has been achieved. Over the past period of time, the company has focused on serving national strategies, improving the modern enterprise system with Chinese characteristics, scientific and technological innovation, improving market-oriented operating mechanisms, and strengthening party building to overcome difficulties. The reform has been made comprehensively, breakthroughs at multiple points, and in-depth promotion.
"This year, China Southern Power Grid will basically complete the main tasks of the three-year action plan for state-owned enterprise reform, promote the high-quality development of enterprises with good reform results, and make new contributions to serving the overall national development." Meng Zhenping, Chairman and Party Secretary of the Southern Power Grid Company, introduced.
promotes the reform of "talent" and activates new vitality for enterprise development
"We have recruited outstanding industry leaders with salary three times higher than the market, and implemented a flexible evaluation method of 'three-year assessment + annual evaluation' to ensure that personnel can enter and exit..." The world's first digital grid research institute - South China Net Digital Research Institute, was selected as the first batch of pilot projects of the science and technology reform demonstration action last year, exploring new paths of reform.
The company's general manager Li Peng said that the company focuses on high-end talents to promote the reform of three systems: personnel, labor and distribution, and stimulates strong innovation. In the past two years, the company has won 4 first prizes for provincial and ministerial scientific and technological progress, and a number of achievements have reached the international leading level.
" three system reform " is a key link in the reform of state-owned enterprises. Meng Zhenping said that the company firmly grasps the "bull's nose" of the management member term system and contractual management, and has made drastic advances in reform.
"Managers 'can go up but not down' have always been a difficult issue that restricts the deepening of state-owned enterprise reform." Wang Jiajun, director of the Human Resources Department of the State Grid Corporation, introduced that at present, branch companies at all levels have fully realized the term system and contractual management of the management level, and 23 subsidiaries have implemented the professional manager system. Since the beginning of this year, the proportion of newly promoted managers in competition has reached 78.9%. The system of management personnel being adjusted last and incompetent with withdrawal has been implemented rigidly, and the current proportion of management personnel withdrawal has reached 5.6%.
Wang Jiajun revealed that at present, 174 subsidiaries and 692 branches of China Southern Power Grid Company have fully realized the term system and contractual management of the management team members. At the same time, 23 subsidiaries have implemented a professional manager system, and 7 more are expected to be added this year.
Implementing the "three systems reform" not only breaks the "iron rice bowl", but also smashes the "big pot rice", achieving "difficult to do more and less", and achieving "increase or decrease" income. China Southern Power Grid Company has established a new business responsibility system covering all management members at all levels, highlighting operating performance, and highlighting rigid rewards and punishments. The largest income gap between the management of the branch company exceeds 2 times. "The company broke the egalitarianism and implemented the "salary agreement based on the job, one salary per person" for core key talents with market competitiveness, and effectively reflected the more good performance and good rewards." Wang Jiajun gave an example and said that one of the science and technology reform demonstration enterprises, more than 20% of professional and technical personnel in Nanwang Technology Company had higher incomes than middle-level managers.
2020 is the first year of the three-year action plan for state-owned enterprise reform. As the first batch of " Double Hundred Enterprises " of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council and the fourth batch of national mixed reform pilot enterprises, the company coordinates the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, production and operation and deepens reform, and has made new progress in various reform work. As of the end of 2020, the company's operating income and total profits reached the best level in history.
Nanwang Energy Company Party Secretary and Chairman Qin Hua said: "Nanwang Energy Company continues to promote institutional innovation, mechanism innovation, and management innovation. It has taken its own path in mixed ownership reform, three-system reform, and market-oriented operating mechanism reform, and has formed the 'Nanwang Energy Plan'."
Meng Zhenping said that now, the Southern Power Grid Group will reform the "experimental field" and become a "demonstration field". The company is continuing to promote the three-year action plan for state-owned enterprise reform, providing strong support for the high-quality economic and social development of the five southern provinces and regions and Hong Kong and Macao.
Reform mechanism to build an "chain leader" and an innovation chain "chain leader" enterprise
, director, general manager and deputy secretary of the Party Group of Southern Power Grid Company, said that power grid enterprises are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and must take the implementation of major national strategies, safeguarding national security and the operation of the national economy as the primary goal. Through reform efforts, China Southern Power Grid Company has promoted the optimization of the layout and structural adjustment of the state-owned economy.
Cao Zhian introduced that in terms of innovative project organization, we have concentrated the company's advantageous resources, leveraged the advantages of intensiveness, changed the project organization model, and innovatively implemented management models such as "revealing the list and taking charge", horse racing research, and achievement knowledge of the coupons, and promoted the company's innovation system and mechanism transformation.
In terms of innovation activities, for the first time, it proposed a fault-tolerant mechanism for scientific research work, draw bottom lines and red lines, protect the enthusiasm for innovation, and form a clear direction of "enable innovation to make mistakes, but not allow for non-innovation."
In terms of scientific research results management and transformation, it has formulated a series of specific measures such as off-job entrepreneurship and follow-up investment to ensure that scientific research results can quickly penetrate the innovation chain, industrial chain and supply chain in the process of "from 0 to 1, from 1 to N", and form a work chain that is interconnected and coordinated to promote each other; and establish a comprehensive innovation system with scientific and technological innovation as the key, service and business model innovation as the core, and management innovation as the guarantee.
Among them, the China Southern Network Digital Research Institute is the world's first digital grid research institute. Since its establishment in 2019, it has vigorously attracted high-end talents in the industry through market-oriented means such as agreement compensation. In the two years since Liang Lingyu was introduced, he has led the artificial intelligence research and development team to complete a number of scientific research issues such as the application of artificial intelligence technology.
At present, the China Southern Network Digital Research Institute has built an elite R&D team with a proportion of scientific and technological personnel exceeding 85%, and has successfully developed the "Fuxi" series of power-specific main control chip , which has achieved domestic independent control for the first time in multiple links such as chip instruction sets and CPU cores; it has developed the world's first chip-based power relay protection device to promote the upgrading of my country's industrial control equipment.
It is reported that during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the Southern Power Grid Company continued to increase the intensity of scientific research investment, investing a total of RMB 37.3 billion in scientific research funds, establishing and building two national innovation platforms, and presiding over the compilation of 12 international standards and 35 national standards.
