The event was hosted by Ms. Chen Xumei, Director of Administration and Human Resources, and attended by Dr. Cen Guodong, Chairman and General Manager, along with department heads and nominees for both annual and quarterly awards.

During the conference, the company highlighted exemplary role models to provide guidance and motivation.

Following the awards selection, department heads and team leaders delivered comprehensive and objective reports on their respective areas of responsibility for 2023. These reports aimed to clarify roles, reflect on experiences, identify areas for improvement, and outline concrete plans and next steps for the coming year.

After the presentations, Dr. Cen Guodong provided personalized feedback—acknowledging accomplishments, pinpointing weaknesses, and setting clear expectations for future performance:

First, project management: Implement project accountability, strengthen project oversight, introduce innovative working methods, and drive effective project execution.

Second, team leadership: Align teams around shared goals, foster clear and effective communication, and build strong talent pipelines to support long-term growth.

Third, process optimization: Streamline workflows, improve information flow, and strengthen cross-functional collaboration—reinforcing SBK’s commitment to innovation and steady progress, while maintaining strategic focus, enhancing internal management, and boosting service efficiency.

Fourth, self-development: Managers are encouraged to adopt a “T-shaped” development model—deepening their expertise, broadening their skill sets, and increasing their adaptability. They should also work to elevate their perspective, expand their thinking, and continuously grow in knowledge to support multidimensional leadership.

This meeting is designed to set a benchmark for excellence, motivate employees, foster team cohesion, and boost overall competitiveness. By recognizing outstanding achievements, it aims to elevate managers’ awareness of their roles and responsibilities, emphasizing commitment and innovation in line with SBK’s core values of “‘People-centered’, Driven by Change, Innovation at the Core”.
