Doing the right thing 干对的事 Building an ethical business in
China 在中国建立诚信企业
Who the hell..? 我们是谁 Ronan Berder খ۽ Wiredcraft http://wiredcraft.com
Who are you? 你是谁? • French No mustache though... •
Engineer involved in Open Source And no glasses... • In China since 2005 Some say I’m doomed
So what do we do? 我们做什么? • Data centric applications
• Humanitarian and non-profit space • In Shanghai and Washington, DC (and soon SF)
http://humanitarianid.org
http://m.reliefweb.int
http://brtdata.org
http://reliefweb.int
Why? 为什么? • Challenging problems Technically and socially • Cutting
edge technology • High quality
Why in China then? 为什么选择中国?
• No work, no money No fun... • Created for
freelancing • 3 staff after 2 months Inception 全面开启
• Hustled to get big clients: Axel Springer, CNN, Nvidia,
Popcap Games... • Feeds in the loop of awesomeness... • Staff of 5 • Need to create a WOFE “Holy cow” growth 迅速成长
WOFE in a nutshell 小型独资企业
What then? 是什么? • Doing similar things • Lack of
purpose • Time to change
Let’s go humanitarian! 人性化的发展!
How did we get started? 我们是怎样开始? • Hustling through previous
connections • Southern Sudan Referendum • Worked our way to the UN
What then? 是什么? • Still not satisfied • Updated our
technical stack • Focusing more and more on products
Lessons learned 吸取教训
Disclaimer 接受不完美 • I am no expert • We’re far
from perfect • These work for us Not necessarily good for you, but still worth a try...
What we focus on 我们专注的重心是什么? • People • Methodology
Building a team 建立一个团队
How to recruit? 如何招新? • Job sites are useless •
Use your network and never burn bridges • Trust your guts
How to keep them? 如何留住人才? • Invest in them That
includes trust • Let them fuck it up • Again, trust your guts That means firing fast
Getting sh*t done 把事儿搞定
Keep it focused 专注于工作重心 • Outsource as much as possible
• Don’t procrastinate • Have a process and collaborate (we use SCRUM)
Keep it lean 取其精华 • Don’t buy crap but don’t
be cheap • Don’t overdo processes • Don’t over-hire
And since we’re in China 自从我们来到中国 • Don’t mess with
the tax bureau • Don’t mess with the labor bureau
To sum it up 少少结论
Invest 投资
Hustle 推搡
Questions? 有问题吗?
