Innovative project management model activates "primary productivity"

The Chinese Academy of Chemical Research pays close attention to technical jams and blocking points, prudently establishes scientific projects, integrates the problems of the industry, the ideas of academia and the beliefs of venture capitalists, and adheres to the national strategy to select technical products
that can launch the "China Chemical" brand and form a certain market scale 。 In terms of high-end polyolefins, the institute carries out research and development projects around the subdivision of polyolefins, and selects R&D projects with industrialization and commercialization as the goals; The self-developed new process of degradable plastics has completed the development of all processes; The leading solid acid catalytic esterification and etherification reaction process development project, focusing on
the development of green process and key core equipment.

Establish a gate management system to improve the level
of refined project management.
The institute divides the full cycle of R&D into four nodes
: small-scale test, scale-up, pilot test to industrial demonstration.
On the one hand, maximize the enthusiasm of R&D personnel and encourage R&D personnel to actively explore in the small-scale test stage; On the other hand, in the three stages of scale-up, pilot and industrial demonstration, give full play to the role of the strategic advisory committee and technical committee, fully consider market, intellectual property rights, technical risks, technical and economic indicators and other factors to ensure that the R&D input-output ratio is maximized
.

Crack the talent code and plant the "first resource"

The most important resource of the Chinese Chemical Research Institute is talents, attracting talents, retaining talents, making good use of talents, and through the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform, they have successfully cracked the talent code
.
The scale, structure and quality of talents are more adapted to the needs of the rapid development of scientific research institutes, the talent management system is more scientific, the training, introduction, evaluation and use, incentive and guarantee mechanisms are more standardized and effective, and the institute has formed a "geese array" talent echelon pattern led by scientific research leading talents, supported by professional and technical backbones and supplemented by young reserve talents, and has become a representative talent highland and innovation center
of the group company.

The first is to highlight the orientation
of "high-precision and cutting-edge".
Focus on introducing first-class scientists, discipline leaders and innovation teams, high-level young talents and urgently needed talents in cutting-edge fields and high-end product fields at home and abroad, meeting the major needs of national strategy, especially leading talents and backbone forces with international vision, working experience in internationally renowned enterprises and R&D institutions
.
The second is to increase the intensity of
flexible talent introduction.
Focus on the goal of "two businesses", increase the intensity of flexible talent introduction, and implement a diversified talent use mechanism
.
The third is to implement the academician candidate training plan
.

Make good use of the sharp tools of reform to ignite the "first driving force.
"

To grasp innovation is to grasp development, and to seek innovation is to seek the future
.
In the past three years, the Chinese Chemical Research Institute has deepened the reform of the system and mechanism, and continuously stimulated the endogenous power
of the enterprise by vigorously grasping the three system reforms and R&D management reforms.

The first is to implement the contractual management of the tenure system and implement the "one shift, two systems" management model
.
The managers of the institute have implemented the market-oriented reform path of the professional manager system and the contractual reform of the tenure system of team members in parallel, and effectively promoted the ability of business managers to move up and down, enter and exit, and increase and decrease
income.

The second is to implement the "one court, two systems" management model
.
The institute has established and improved the market-oriented employment and salary system, and fully implemented the market-oriented employment mechanism with contract management as the core and post management as the basis; Implement market-oriented selection and employment of all employees to further stimulate the work enthusiasm of scientific researchers in key positions that are scarce in the market; Strictly implement the system of competitive appointment of managers and performance appraisal of all employees, explore the mechanism of "one post, one salary, easy post and easy salary", and smooth the market-oriented exit channel
.

The third is to establish a project-based performance management system
.
Guided by team performance and scientific research results, the institute deeply bundles the performance of project teams, members and departments, and transforms project goals into departmental goals and personal goals
.
The institute broke the situation of scientific and technological research and development "only touching stones but not rivers", and increased the proportion of performance wages of R&D personnel to about
65%.

The fourth is to improve the distribution incentive mechanism
.
The institute has established a benefit incentive mechanism for the transformation of R&D and innovation achievements, and deeply implemented the "four 15%" and "two five-year" incentive policies; Build a perfect chain for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, adopt the mode of joint development, benefit sharing and risk sharing, accelerate the transformation of achievements and incentive cashing, and realize the precise docking of science and technology with the economy, innovation achievements and enterprise applications; Advocate the participation of intellectual property rights, human capital and other elements in the distribution
.

The fifth is to tap potential internally, race horses to recognize talents, and establish a "dual-channel" talent growth path
.
The institute has established a horse racing mechanism of "parallel competition", designed different technical routes and research paths for the same R&D topic, clarified the criteria for wide entry and strict exit, and organized different scientific research teams to carry out competitive small-scale trial development by signing a certificate of responsibility; Through mechanisms such as technical post rating evaluation, open up the development channel of scientific research personnel, so that R & D personnel can "stabilize" to do scientific research
.

Only those who strive first, only those who change are strong
.
The Chinese Academy of Chemical Research will deeply implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, continue to play the leading role of R&D, fully release the innovation potential of the "scientist + engineer" model, continue to promote high-quality development with the results of the three-year action of state-owned enterprise reform, and contribute wisdom and strength
to the process of building the "two businesses" development strategy of China Chemical Engineering Group.
