The 2012 scal year is coming to an

end. As the Rotating and Acting

CEO, I am gratied to share this

great news with you: Huawei's

sales revenue for 2012 is expected

to exceed US$35 billion, with a net prot of about

US$2.4 billion, a more than 10% increase year on

year for both. The Carrier Network BG has further

consolidated its position in the industry. We havedeployed over 130 LTE and over 70 EPC commercial

networks worldwide, ranking number one globally

in these two elds. The Enterprise BG has launched

a series of competitive products such as data center switches, storage products, and full-view telepresence

systems. Huawei Device has established solid foundations in product design, quality, and costs. In addition,

the smartphone business has made breakthroughs in scale in high-end markets such as Japan, the US, and

Europe.

We have weathered another turbulent year: the downward spiral in the global economy, an

investigation into cyber security allegations by a particular committee of the US Congress, political

upheavals in the Middle East and Northern Africa, as well as natural disasters including oods and

earthquakes. I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to our customers, suppliers, and partnersacross the world. My thanks also go out to our staff members for your dedicated work and to your loved

ones for their support. Without your support, Huawei wouldn't have outperformed the market in 2012.

The Mayan doomsday prediction was false, but we see unprecedented information oods on the

horizon. Statistics show that the data created in 2012 alone is equal to all the data created in human history

before 2012 and this trend will continue. Rapid transmission of data to every corner of the world is an

inevitability, which will create incredible demands.

In the era of information oods, Huawei denitely cannot be Lord Ye who claimed to love dragons1.

Seizing opportunities, focusing on strategy, and simplifying management are the core measures that we

will take to achieve effective growth in the next ve years.

As a professional ICT solutions provider, we are committed to achieving "high bandwidth,

multiple services, and zero wait time". After two decades of development, we are now able to gather

all the required human resources and materials to strengthen our investment in the major pipes,

including information access, convergence, transmission, switching, and storage. Our historical mission

and strategic opportunity is to achieve breakthroughs in key technologies and align our offerings

with market demands. Our strategic objective in 2013 is to establish our leading positions in Mobile

Broadband (MBB), Fixed Broadband (FBB), and backbone network solutions. Our value does not

simply lie in our capability to help customers lower their procurement costs. More importantly, it lies in

our capability to increase their competitiveness and protability. Our goal is to become our customers'

trusted partner.

We should devote our limited energy to specic business objectives, and avoid the impulse to

expand business blindly. Managers who expand business blindly must be held accountable.

There was a time when rapid growth was Huawei's priority and strong execution was Huawei's

distinctive feature. These characteristics have contributed to our fast development, and at the same time

created the lingering issue of extensive management at Huawei. As business growth becomes steady and

moderate, we have to ensure reasonable prots to support our continuous strategic investment. Looking

ahead to 2013, we should enhance customer/supplier facing roles, consolidate customer/project-based

budgeting and accounting, and reasonably control costs; we should ensure timely and accurate delivery

while improving operating quality. In addition, we need to mitigate the following major risks: risks

caused by historical issues which emerge because of slower business growth, operational risks arising

from the deteriorating business environment, as well as business risks associated with uncertainties

introduced by the pace of business investment and new business development. To survive and develop

sustainably, we must prioritize efciency.

Responsibility and performance are the most important basis for selecting and assessing

managers at Huawei. In 2013, we must continue to simplify our internal management: We must

delegate more authority to eld ofces, shift the focus of our HQ organizations to service, support, and

supervision, streamline HQ organizations, and simplify processes. Moreover, we must focus less on

expense settlement intended for performance appraisals, optimize value assessment and distribution

mechanisms, and motivate our staff members to apply full effort to create value.

"Where does happiness come from? It comes only from diligent work." In 2013, we will further

our efforts in legal and regulatory compliance across the world, become more open and transparent,

and proactively contribute to the betterment of the global business environment. Huawei has business

presence in 150 countries and regions worldwide. Apart from providing products and services, we

are committed to integrating with local society. We will expand business operations, create jobs, and

contribute to tax revenue. We will attract more talent from all over the world to create a better

future for the company."Do not regret that spring is departing, as it will be twice as enchanting next year."

With the concerted efforts of all our staff members, I believe we can achieve our goal of

"focusing on strategy, simplifying management, and increasing efciency". In 2013, we

will maintain vitality and effective growth.

Wish you a Happy New Year! May health and happiness be with you always!

T

he New Year Message, "Focus on Strategy, Simplify Management, Increase

Efciency", from our Rotating and Acting CEO, clearly presents our objectives

for the new year. We must focus on our strengths, fully leverage the capabilities

of our organization, tap into the self-motivation and creativity of our staff

members along the fairway, and produce greater results.

As we know, water and air are among the gentlest stuff in the world. That's why water andbreeze often carry praise. We also know that this same gentle air can send rockets into space. The

high-speed exhaust that results from the burning of rocket fuel can generate tremendous thrust

through a small hole in a device called a de Laval nozzle; the air expanding out of the nozzle can

propel mankind into space. Water is as soft as a beauty, yet it can cut through steel plates once

highly pressurized and forced through a small hole. This is "might from a small hole". Huawei

is an ordinary company and our employees are ordinary people. In the past, our appraisal system

focused on commonalities rather than individualities, and therefore failed to appropriately widen the

gap between employees with respect to compensation and benets. This practice frustrated some

employees who had striven to create value. As a result, many excellent employees left Huawei.

We ordinary ones stayed behind. Over 25 years, we have focused only on one goal and remained

dedicated. We have never wavered. Now we have 150,000 employees. Just as water jetting from onehole, our efforts have achieved something amazing. This is "might from a small hole". We focus on

our strategy to sharpen our global edge in a particular eld. A sharp competitive edge proves that we

do not need to have background to establish ourselves among the global leaders.

In addition, we adhere to the principle of "obtaining benets from one source". Our EMT

declaration has made it clear that all income of our most senior executives and key employees is

conned to such items as salaries, incentives, and bonuses offered by Huawei. No income from

outside Huawei is allowed. We have established organizations and systems which prevent anyone

at Huawei, from the most senior ofcers down to the execution level, from gaining benets by

devouring collective interests through afliate transactions. Over the past 20 years, our benets

have basically been derived from one source, thus creating a climate of united dedication among

our 150,000 employees. We are aware that there are still many areas for improvement in our

management; we are endeavoring to improve them. I believe our human resource policies will

become more and more scientic if we adhere to the principle of "obtaining benets from one

source". Consequently, our employees will be more and more passionate about their work. Then

there will be nothing we cannot conquer.

If we can adhere to the principles of "gaining might from a small hole and obtaining benets

from one source", Huawei will not be the next to fall. However, if we diverge from these principles,

Huawei will probably be the next to fall. History tells us that if large companies miss a turning point

and start to decline, few of them can reverse the situation by restructuring themselves. Naturally, we

would hate to fall; so we must restrain ourselves, observe rules, and stay united and dedicated.

With lofty aspirations and esprit de corps, we are striding across the Pacic Ocean.

6 HUAWEI PEOPLE

It is indeed a totally different

atmosphere to the person who has

come from the work environment of

Telecom Operators in India and the

Vendors of European Nations etc.

When I decided to Join Huawei

communication I was not sure what

type of culture is followed by a

Chinese company and also there werereservations from various quarters

of Industry about the same. I too had

apprehension over this a bit, however

I decided to join Huawei in January

2011.

In the initial phase, I couldnt

understand which way I have to look

in to it. However after completion of

the induction programme I understood

the companys policies, processes and

culture etc.

Huawei has strong culture

which is basically evolving around

the customer and employees. It also

taught about how to do the hard work,

dedication and commitment towards

excelling the customer delight. It is

totally a system driven and process

oriented one which is unique in

nature.

It recognises the employees

who demonstrate the Huawei Culture

and spirit. It also awards the people

at right time by way of public notices

and by entrusting them with multiple

responsibilities etc. In my opinion

would treat as the optimal Utilisation

of resources, which is mutually

benecial for employees as well as

the company.

It's highly appreciable the

efforts company puts in organising

cross cultural online Quiz, Cultural

programs, New year celebrations

etc (which are just a few to name

in the list) gives an opportunity for

employees to understand each others

culture closely.This will also help in

building up and bonding relations.

Last but not least Huaweiadopts culture of Fen Dou. Fen

Dou as we all understand signies

Hardworking and creating a culture

of Fen Dou is one of the keys to the

success of the Organization.

The relationship between

Chinese and Indian staff is cordial,

warm, friendly and helpful. There

are many instances where we have

landed in tough situations had been

addressed together with the same

spirit, which has ultimately not only

resolved the issue but also gained

condence and appreciation from the

Customer. The best way to enhance

the relationship is by arranging

team building programmes, more

interaction and keeps helping nature.

The major accomplishments

which are unanimously accepted and

appreciated by the customers are

about Huaweis speed of delivery

and implementation of network

roll out and the performance of

the system in terms of hardware

stability and ease of manageability.

Adopting and moulding to the

customer requirements, customised

and innovative solutions to delight

customer.

Our family is always helpful

and understanding in nature. I always

ensure that the work life balance is

maintained to ensure some valuable

time would be spend with my family

because of our work nature which

demands 24*7. Recently one of such

occasion happened when management

declared the additional holidaysduring Independence Day celebrations

which helped me to take my family

away and spent quality time with

them. This is really a good thought by

the company and appreciated by the

family too. As I used to be on business

trip on Mumbai where I used to return

late night after 15 days on Friday

Night around 02:00 am and it really

kept me surprised my small daughter

(7 years old) along with son and

wife used to be waiting at the gate.

After reaching house daughter used

to start crying and say papa which is

really touching my heart. After long

and hectic schedules of handling so

many issues, tough meetings with

customer, being with family removes

all tiredness and gets charged up to

face more challenges.

six months later. I know now that

Huawei is the right t for me.

Q: You have worked for Huawei

for about 12 years and are a veteran

here. What changes in Huawei's

business environments have you seenduring those years?

A: Through the IFS program,

Huawei's nancial competence has

been remarkably improved. I'm not

just talking about what the consultants

have provided for us, but also what

nancial managers at all levels have

learned from the process. The IFS

program broadened our horizons and

changed our mindset. Now we are

condent that our ideas, methods, andunderstanding of certain professional

areas are even better than some

leading enterprises. Next, we'll share

the knowledge and skills we've

learned from the IFS program with

more personnel in the Finance Staff

Team (FST) and further change the

way we think and work.

In terms of the business

environment, Huawei is unique in

the exible way they do business.

All businesses are carried out by

following the principle of customer-

centricity, which means all

departments should do things that can

create value for both customers and

the company. If the division of duties

becomes vague, all departments and

personnel work together to better meet

customer requirements. Although

this focus is confusing to some, it

is exactly this focus that allows for

Huawei's features and advantages.

Responsibility andUnderstanding

Q:What do you think the effects

of the IFS program are on you and

nancial departments?

A: I was more involved in the

GL, R&A, and TPP project. The

GL project was especially thought-

provoking because we learned

IBM's accounting organizations,

processes, routine tasks, and

accounting positions. Before IFS,

Huawei accounting was mainly abouttransaction processing and report

preparation. No one cared whats

truly about of those numbers in the

nancial reports and no one analyzed

nancial reports. However, analyses

are key tasks of IBM's accountants.

What we learned from the program

was that accountants should ensure

that nal nancial report results

are true and fair. To achieve this

objective, accountants must rstbe able to analyze and understand

substance of business transactions

and events before preparing nancial

reports in accordance with accounting

standards and policies following

operation guidance is not enough.

Only when nancial statements is

true and fair can then be used for

business management. Inspired by the

IFS program, accounting departments

began to make plans and had

accountants analyze nancial reports.

The Report Analysis Dept was set

up in HQ. Report analysis was also

deployed in all accounting processes

and accounting SSCs. This was a

big change for Huawei's accounting

departments, which plays a key role

in guaranteeing nancial reports true

and fair, and add value to accounting

services that we provide to CFOs.

Q: You mentioned that you

majored in nance. Why did you

choose to deal with accounting and

report analysis?

A: I studied nance for my

post-graduate degree and was

recruited by the treasury department

of Huawei. Later, I was assigned

to deal with nancial reports and

everything went well. So I thought

maybe my background in nance

helped me understand accounting.

You know, the accounting treatment

for nancial instruments is a very

complicated eld in the IFRS. With

a knowledge of nance, I can betterunderstand those standards and ensure

appropriate accounting treatments

and also be able to clearly explain to

management how nancial reports

reect those treasury activities. Many

people may think that accountant

is not a prestigious job. But if we

want nancial reports to accurately

reect businesses, accountants ll an

indispensable role in E2E business

management. I don't think accountantsare less important than other positions.

Entry-level accountants only deal with

transactions, but to become experts on

nancial report analysis, they should

have an in-depth understanding of

businesses and accounting.

Leveraging ExpertiseQ:What key roles do you think

an expert should play in business

development? Or should we say, howcan an expert exert inuence to the

largest extent?

A: I think the core value

of nancial experts is their

professionalism. I guess the question

is about whether we should separate

different career paths for nancial

managers and experts.

From my perspective, when a

team is too large, we need experts

who don't deal with administrative

issues but instead only focus on

professional issues. Administrative

issues will take away the most energy

and time of experts who handle both

administrative and professional issues.

What an expert should do is to focus

on in-depth research in the eld he/

she copes with. On the other hand, to

what extent an expert can exert his/


11/40

HUAWEI PEOPLE 9

her inuence relies on the attitude

of the administrative manager. If an

administrative manager takes expert

opinions seriously and can not only

understand the opinions but also make

correct judgments based on businessrequirements, that is ideal. An

administrative manager should also

have professional knowledge.

Q: You were awarded the

gold medal for teams (budget

transformation project team) in

2003 and the gold medal award for

individuals in 2004. Would you like to

tell us something about that?

A: In 2003 and 2004, Huawei

had a transformation program aimedat managing product lines as prot

centers. There was a corresponding

project team that was responsible for

developing the planning, budgeting,

and accounting system for product

lines. I was in charge of leading the

accounting solution team that won the

gold medal. I think the individual gold

medal award was mainly for my work

on building the multi-dimensional

management report system. Before

the transformation program,

management reports were used only

for collecting data. At that time, the

group's data was generated based on

simple and rough calculations of data

from the nancial reports of Huawei

Technologies Co., Ltd. When I was

assigned to take charge of accounting

solutions, I developed the multi-

dimensional consolidation reporting

framework. Under this framework,

we could obtain detailed data from

every subsidiary, consolidate and

eliminate, and nally generate

multi-dimensional consolidated

reports. The current BIS system

is based on the multi-dimensional

management report system. With

overseas business development and

an increasing number of subsidiaries,

this framework is crucial for multi-

dimensional management reports.

The previous method was not able to

support businesses.

Passion and FocusQ: Would you like to share

with us your experience becoming an

expert of competency & qualication

(C&Q) level 7?

A: I think this can be attributed

to three reasons. First, the company's

culture of pursuing excellence

and innovation creates a favorable

development environment for experts.

Second, I guess I'm lucky that my

superiors recognize and appreciatewhat I've done.

And I want to share with you

a Chinese saying which goes like

this: "Learning without thought is

labor lost; thinking without learning

is perilous." Think more about the

very job you are engaged in and

broaden your vision. As accountants,

we should learn to analyze and

understand businesses from the

perspective of the CEO and the CFOand consider how to make nancial

reports faithfully reect the status of

business operations. Also we should

learn how to clearly explain business

changes reected in nancial report

data.

I also want to emphasize

learning. It's not that people don't

think. It's just that they only get

limited information from their own

work and perhaps lack vision. I think

we should broaden that vision by

comparing ourselves with industrial

standards and learning from the best

practices in the industry.

Q: You're known for your

badminton skills on the Finance

Staff Team. Instead of attacking

players, you use more defensive

skills and always ght to the very

end. Some people gave you the

nick name "Tenacity". Do you think

it has something to do with your

characteristics?

A: Well, I used to like playing

badminton. Now many peoplearound play badminton better than

I did. As for the nickname, I think,

everyone has his own style which

can be represented in everything in

their work and life. Maybe "tenacity"

is my style. I loved badminton, and

even was obsessive about it when I

was a postgraduate student. I wouldn't

stop playing it even when it got dark

outside. When I was lying in bed,

it was still playing in my mind. Ithought about how to play it well

and believed that the only reason

why I couldn't return the badminton

every time was because I wasn't

concentrating enough to anticipate the

badminton's movement. Of course,

concentration alone was not enough. I

also needed to get the timing right.

We need passion for whatever

we do, both work and games. Passion

motivates us to research, learn, and

improve.

10 HUAWEI PEOPLE

It was 2005, September to be

exact. Spring in Buenos Aires,

Argentina, was just about to start.

I was a lonesome translator in the

South American Paris, as some

people call the city we live in. A friend of mine

advised me to send a CV to a major Chinese

company recently established in Buenos Aires

Huawei was its name. The company was

hardly known in Argentina back then. Gosh! I

did not even know how to pronounce it.

The large company was in the process

of hiring professionals to establish a pool

of translators who would be in charge of

translating large volumes of documentation for

different purposes. I sent my CV I had no

idea what was yet to come...

I was teaching the usual lesson in my

Friday morning class when my cell phone

vibrated. Huawei people were calling me;

they wanted to see me for an interview. On

Monday, I arrived at Huawei representative

ofce in Argentina wearing a tie and a smile.

The interview went smoothly, and people were

nice and friendly. A reserved, casually-dressed

lady led me to the Department Managers

ofce. The manager was a Chinese engineer

who explained what the company was looking

for by making the crazy attempt to hire me

and also tried to nd out why he should hire

me. After a few days, I started working for

the big Chinese telecommunications companyunder the advice of my father...work hard and

you will do ne he said. I still remember his

words.

At rst, our translation department

was comprised of only ve people and me

the rookie. Soon thereafter, a department

of 10 professional translators was set up;

a pool comprised of energetic and young

professionals who were eager to grow within

the large telecommunications giant. Now, let

us take a look at some side effects that were

diagnosed within our department as time

went by and as we became increasingly more

familiar with one another. Of course I am not

referring to any illness -not at all- but to funny

personality traits shared by most co-workers

in our ofce, all of which make our everyday

ofce experience easy to handle and... guess

what...really enjoyable! All our traits and

habits come to rescue us from the routine of

corporate life, a sort of lifejacket we hold on to

in order to survive the rapid pace of our own

lives; these habits can be transformed into tips

we can give you to dodge the heavy toil of

everyday ofce work. This is what I refer to as

being Huaweitized. In our TSC, everyone is

deeply Huaweitized. We always ask the same

questions everyday: Is our tomorrow the

12thOctober in China? Is it tomorrow already

there? When is this project due? How can

I pronounce this name? So... if I nish my

translation tomorrow at 4:00 pm local time,

when will the PM receive it in China? etc.

Other common unsettling thoughts: Where

have I put my calendar? Oh! I opened

the memory in exclusive mode once again!

Ouch!. Everyday the same. All of these

everyday questions come together with funny

replies we make to try to have everyone smile

and loosen up a bit. Yours truly has even goneas far as sleeping on the desk during lunch

hour a sort of power nap that keeps me going

for another 4 hours! This became a nice and

refreshing habit I sort of picked up when I

visited HQ in China in Feb. 2009.

The process of Huaweitization has

turned us into very distinctive and peculiar

individuals, I shall explain: They say there is

How Huaweitized Are You?By Gastn Zanini/Argentina

Teamwork

HUAWEI PEOPLE 11

always a clown in the class, right? Well, the

same applies to our TSC nowadays. Let me

put it simple: theres a clown, a sleepy-head, a

sportsperson, a quasi-lawyer, a cook, an animal

lover, a rock star, a practical mind, the new

rookie and the person who glues us all together

every day. We know who they are - we need

no explanation. I just wish you could come

and meet us...you will soon experience the joy

of working in a pleasant and extremely happy

environment where everyone has their own

distinctive way of dealing with their everyday

tasks. And where everyone is encouraged to

bring new ideas to the workplace and put them

into practice to improve the way we work.

When it comes to being Huaweitized, all

of us have some special trait. Me? I have beencalled many things: the singer, the dancer,

the clown, but hey! I have been called

worse! So I am proud and happy to be part of

a funny group of professionals who work hard

(to the point of losing our heads not literally,

of course) in the antipodes of the world so that

our coworkers in Headquarters can get our

Spanish documents one day ahead of us (again,

not literally), especially when we are sleeping.

So every time you are early in the

ofce in HQ, think that theres a group of 10

professionals sleeping on the other side of

the globe, who had worked very hard when

you were resting in your bed. It is your turn

to do the work now, and it will be ours in the

coming hours. It is crazy when you think of

it, right? But we are all part of the same team,

here and there, and in every TSC around the

world; where I am sure there is a clown, a

dancer, a singer, a cook, an animal lover, adaydreamer, a rock star and a person gluing

everyone together, just like at home.

Li Fangfang, her English name is Corinne.

The rst impressionTwo years ago, on a very beautiful

morning, I went to the ofce to start my rst

workday after nishing the one-month period

training course. My boss took me to a girl who

was seriously focusing on her computer and

said to me She will be your mentor. Then the

girl smiled to me and told me her name was Li

Fangfang, but I could also call her Corinne,

which was a sweet name for a mentor if you

could say. She was very beautiful and had a

delicate face. She wore a black pair of glasses

and had a black smooth straight hair. All of these

were the rst impression she set on me on her

physical side. However, after subsequent days,

I realized that she was not only a woman of

physical treats but a package of brainy beautiful

woman. A super woman indeed.

Excel geniusShe is an expert of sorting out lots of

complicated data in a very short time. As you

know, using a spreadsheet application such as

Excel, is a major advantage if youre in the contract

management and registration team. During my

rst year in Huawei, I found out that the daily

report of Asia Pacic Region was always under

the responsibility of Corinne. It was simple for her

to sort out all the contract documents sent by my

colleagues in a very short time and formed into

a daily report, which I admired on doing so that

I tried to learn from this positive attitude. Every

year during the quarter business sprint, plenty of

contracts had been signed in the overseas contract

document system in the last days of these quarters.

All my colleagues were extremely busy during that

time. Corinne would actively send us the contract

list on the system to process. But my super mentor,

living up to her name as a Boss, only took her a few

minutes to make all these excel documents, which

made her an excel genius well indeed.

Patient & tender teacherIn the rst month under her supervision,

Corinne started to teach me the basic and essential

knowledge of contract registration. Lots of times, I

asked her how to process contracts, register them in

the system and if the contracts have problems, how

to deal with colleagues to resolve those concerns.

Amazingly, even though she was quite busy she

always replied me punctually and showed me the

specic operation patiently. Corinne still was very

tender to me even when I made mistakes over time.

One time, I registered the wrong contract entity of

several contracts into the system, and the colleagues

in other department sent me an e-mail and asked me

to revise all these incorrect information within one

day. I was very worried at that time and understood

the severity of wrong contracts within the company

system would then lead to further more problems.

Then Corinne helped me once she got the e-mail

and encouraged me to face it strongly and actively.

Trouble could never disappear unless you face it

actively affectionately she said. Now I looked back

on that time and today had a great accuracy rate in

contract registration. And even won the honor of

CSO Shared Center in H1 Personal Reward,

all of this I considered was inuenced by the patient

and tender teacher, Corinne.

Sincere & helpful sisterThis August, I went to Philippines on business

trip to settle different issues of Philippines contracts,

as well train Sales and Product Team how to process

awlessly contracts in the right way. It was my

rst time going abroad and was very much excited.

Before I left, Corinne told me like my sister about

the key points I should pay attention to when I was

abroad. She shared with me her rst experience

when she went to Indonesia and told me where

I could get help from the company website. One

night, I asked Corinne for a complicated case I never

met, she explained to me immediately with great

patience, and even called back to analyze the details

although she was at home at night. Returning from

the trip in the Philippines was an exhilarating one

especially knowing that my teacher was waiting for

me back at my home country.

I do appreciate and am thankful for my super

mentor, Corinne. Her positive working attitude and

excellent character will keep me making greaterperformance in the following years.

Thank you very much. Corinne!

My path from

Australia to

the UK and

to Huawei

was full

of twists and turns and chance. After

working as a trainer for another

international telecommunications

manufacturer for many years around

the Asia and Pacic region; economic

conditions meant that I found myself

mid-2004 without a job. Always

looking for a little adventure; I tried

applying for various training jobs in

exotic places like Thailand, Finland,

and Germany until I was picked-

up by Huawei UK as a Broadband

Access & Core Trainer. I didnt know

it then but that was the start of my

eight years of adventure and growth

with Huawei Training.

My growth within the

Western European

training centreThe last eight years of my

adventure with Huawei have seen a

remarkable change for the Western

European Learning Services

Department. It was in January

2005 when I started my (then) new

job with Huawei in the Western

European Training Centre. At the

time the Training Department was

in its infancy and when I started

with Huawei; I was the third local

employee hired in a total training team

of four. The team was small but full

of enthusiasm and energy.

For the next seven years I tried

to keep the energy and grew from a

trainer to a senior trainer and then

to a team leader. My knowledge and

delivery ability starting with only

NGN, grew to include FN Access,

Datacoms, IMS Core, CS Core and

parts of PS Core Networks. During

this time as a trainer I taught many

customers across Europe both within

WEU and CEE regions receiving

many positive customer feedback

comments like:

One of the best trainers/

instructors I have met ever.

While some tier-1 WEU

customers even specically requested

my delivery services for new training

requests: Would appreciate to keep

Adrian as teacher.

When I joined Huawei

the main (and only) activity was

providing Instructor Lead Knowledge

Transfer (classroom training) on

Huawei products to customers.

However, over time the range ofservices have expanded to provide

many other Learning Services like:

Technology training, e-Learning, Live

Virtual Classroom, Video events,

Technical Competency Assessments,

Competency Consulting, etc. It

is through the close customer

relationships and the new service

offerings; as well as the successful

delivery of these new learning

services that has fed the growth of the

Western European Learning Services

Department.

After eight years of personal

growth within Huawei Im now

the UK&I Training Manager and a

member of a thirty strong Western

European Learning Services team

together advancing customer

relationships and the Huawei Training

brand. A huge improvement compared

to the small team I started with many

years ago.

Working as an instructor over

many years has given me a unique

insight into customer training related

issues and pain-points that have

assisted enormously when conducting

my UK&I Training Manager duties.

Within the last year Ive been able to

introduce a large and comprehensive

certication and e-Learning program

for LTE and EPC into twenty

markets for the largest Global Mobile

Operator in the World. As well asinstigate, create, manage and deploy

a complete customised training plan

STORIES OFHUAWEIPEOPLEour expectations in the way it

was systematically and carefully

prepared for our needs, delivered and

subsequently tested. This brought

it a different level than your typical

vendor training

Customers the human

side of teachingBecause a technical trainer when

teaching is always customer facing

trainers spend the majority of their

time in and around customers and

over time make many friends. Even

after many years some of my students

are still my friends. The training

and the after training activities like

sports, sightseeing, and dinning help

to understand the mindset of our

customers. This assists to build the

customer relationships and associated

training satisfaction that are necessary

to show the customer the value of

Huawei Learning Services.

When I rst joined Huawei in

2005 I was sent to Huawei HQ in

China to learn Huawei products to

prepare myself for customer teaching.

I was based in China for a littleover a month and during that time

participated in quite a few courses.

One of the courses was an Algerian

customers engineers course which I

sat-in. Amazingly six years later I had

the privilege of spending time with the

same customers walking around and

dinning in Paris when I was teaching

the same customers on a new course.

Such a small world.

No matter if at school or as anindustrial trainer a good teacher is

never forgotten and is always held in

high regard by students.

Training is not all work

and no playBeing a trainer for the last eight

years has been a very interesting

and satisfying job. Not only do

you get to learn about all the new

industry technologies and the new

Huawei products. But you also get

to meet and work with and teach

many different interesting customers.

You also get to travel to different

places and see many different

parts of the world and have many

varied experiences and keep many

memories.

Travel an advantage

being a TrainerOver the seven years I travelled

as a technical customer trainer for

Huawei I amassed many travel

experiences and memories. These

include seafood festivals in Spain &

Ireland; a City festival with oats,

costumes and dances in Lisbon

Portugal; a music festival in an old

castle and a midnight museum visit

in Germany; visits to ancient cities

and un-spoilt islands in Greece

and Croatia; skiing in 20 metres

snow drifts in the mountains in

Bulgaria; learning about historical

battlegrounds in Belgium; enjoying

French cuisine in Paris & Leon;

driving a car from Vienna to Bansk

Bystrica during the night and riding

and commuting on my motorbike

to Hungary and Germany and while

working in Budapest and Darmstadt.

Unfortunately, travel does haveits bad points too: the weekends spent

travelling, the airport checking-in and

security queues, the lonely dinners

in dormitories or hotels, being away

from family and friends. However,

for me the last eight years as part of

Huawei Learning Services have more

good times than bad times.

Standing on theshoulders of giants

In 2006 I was honoured to

receive a Western European Top

Staff Award for my work ethic

and commitment to the Training

Department for the years 2005-2006.

In 2008 I also received an award for

courseware development and in 2010-

2011 I received a long serving staff

award in association with Huawei

10 years in Europe. In 2006 when I

had to give a speech when collecting

my Top Staff award I used the theme

of standing on the shoulders of

giants. This message is stamped on

some of the UK pound coins. Only by

incorporating the work my colleagues

were doing and standing on their

shoulders was I able to succeed.

Despite personally receiving various

awards over the years it is only

through the dedication of everyonewithin the Training Department

(both Western European Region

and Global) and the associated

teamwork that such a small team

can continuously succeed to provide

a world class training service to

customers.

Only when customers

experience the successful delivery

of services will they be willing topurchase further services and allow

the Huawei Training brand to grow

just as Ive grown.

Comprehending Huawei Core Values

Core Values

Richard Branson

has said, If

you look after

your internal

customers you

dont have to worry about the external

customers.

If we were to take any

successful business leaders, we will

consistently nd that most of the new

and innovative business ideas come

from individuals who operate more

from their own observations and

insights rather than others analytical

research. They are so tuned in to

observing, engaging and empathizing

with their customers, that they

instinctively know what would turn

an average experience into a great

experience. Successful entrepreneurs

watch and empathize with customers

in shops, on planes, on the streets,

even in their homes and ask why

are people behaving in the way they

do and what can we do to make their

experience better. And its this very

belief in achieving customer delight

that has lead to Huaweis success

today.

Being part of this success

story I also strongly believe in this

philosophy of customer rst. I Joined

the Huawei Family in May 2011.Initially I was a part of the GSDC

Recruitment team and my rst

customers were MS & BSS team. It

was an opportunity that presented me

with a lot of learning experiences.

Many people believe that Recruitment

is just a number game. Believe me

its not just a number game but it has

more to do with quality as well. Its

a role where the recruiter represents

organization to an external world to

create a brand image. We become

the face of Huawei. As per my

understanding, those HR who believe

in the principle of customer are the

ones who get the right talent into the

right roles more quickly than others.

So today as Huawei is one of the fast

growing organization, I take pride in

my contribution in my own small way

to attain the position.

I then moved to a role where

focus is more on customer relations.

A New role, New Manager, New

challenges - all this contributes to

new experiences in my profession.

Its always good to work with

different types of customers to

experience different qualities under

their leadership. There are instances

where Customer became my Manager

and Manager became my Customers.Today my responsibilities have

increased from a team to business

group. However while dealing with

my customers, I always remember the

saying When dealing with people,

remember you are not dealing with

creatures of logic, but creatures of

emotion. Each individual who has a

team has their own way of managing,

leading and following them. Here I

believe that Customer experience is

everything you do for your customers

and to them and how it makes them

feel. The for part includes those

services that makes life easier for

customers the smiles that leave

them feeling better and the outcomes

that leave them better off. Customer

Experience is all about feeling good

factor.

Special thanks to all my special

customers!

HUAWEI WORLDWIDE

We keep

saying that

we arecustomer

focused.

I think if we talked to most of our

customers they would not agree. My

opinion is that we are only contract

focused. We have aimed to get more

contracts because we thought this was

the way to grow at a maximum speed.

I am sure that our focus on getting

many contracts has been a way to

grow fast but I am equally convincedthat we now need to become truly

customer focused.

We have been trying to get more

business and to achieve that we have

said yes to anything from existing

and new customers. Companies who

have been in the telecom business for

a long time know that true customer

focus sometimes forces you to say

no to what customers ask you to do.

Customers do not always know whatis best for them.

Some of our customers are truly

capable of operating telecom networks.

Others are truly capable of offering

good service to their customers.

However few of our customers are

good at designing telecom systems.

I am not saying that we are good at

designing telecom systems either

yet but we need to become good at

designing telecom systems. We cannot

We Are Not

Really CustomerFocused!By Jack Jarkvik/Sweden

build a future on offering only lower

prices or on always saying yes to

customer requests.Until recently all we had to

do was to copy what one of our

competitors in the business had

already done. Our customers knew

what could be done because one

or several of our competitors had

already done it.

Now we are no longer a

follower! This is a completely

different game. This game we do not

know how to play. We have to learnhow to play it.

In many industries there

is a very sophisticated dialogue

between customers and suppliers.

The customer asks for a new feature

or asks for a solution to a problem.

In some cases the wish from the

customer is expressed in the form of a

requirement.

The supplier listens to the

customer and goes home to considerwhat the customer has asked for.

Competent suppliers never feed

requirements from customers straight

into development projects. They

always consider many aspects of

the wish or need presented by the

customer. One such aspect is whether

other customers have the same need

or wish. Another aspect is whether the

solution suggested by the customer is

a good solution.

More often than not the supplier

comes up with what he thinks is a

better or lower cost solution. Thisbetter solution is presented to the

customer in the hope that it will be

accepted.

Often the supplier comes

up with an altogether different

suggestion and the dialogue goes on

through several iterations.Competent

customers appreciate this kind of

challenging dialogues!

Different customers behave

very differently! Some have anumber of technically very competent

employees wanting to inuence the

implementations of solutions. Other

customers do not. All they want is a

quick solution.

I want us to become truly

customer focused and not only

contract focused. Sometimes it is a

good idea to give a contract to one of

our competitors making them waste

lots of efforts on a stupid idea for onesingle customer while we can use our

competence to develop something

really useful that can benet many

customers!

Remember that the cost of

developing a feature is not the most

critical. What is most critical is how

we best invest our limited capable

resources into new features or

versions. Anything we develop will

cause life cycle costs.

My second surgeryI had my second surgery in April

2012. I had another tumor removed

this time in different location. When I

saw the blue-striped patient clothing

at the hospital, my feeling was

complicated. This time, a general

anesthesia was induced, something

that I hated most, for my life was

at stake and I could probably never

wake up after the surgery. I didnt feel

that I was part of the ghting against

cancer, and that was the reason that

I dont like general anesthesia.My

anesthesiologist was the same cute

and handsome guy in my last surgery.

He put an oxygen mask on my face

and said the exact same words, Take

a deep breath of oxygen. Its free of

charge. Before I could hear what he

said next, I fell asleep. When I woke

up, the surgery was already over.

The tumor was 2cm by 2cm, and

fortunately, it was benign.

My daughter is a big girlnow

Newnew was only 3 years only

when I had my rst surgery. She

now stands 3 feet 6 and is a big girl

in Grade 3 of the Kindergarten. She

can make telephone calls, sing songs,

and she loves Barbies and the snow

white doll. I stayed in the hospital for

some time for the surgery, and one

day Newnew said to her grandma, I

missed Mom yesterday and I cried.

On New Years Eve, she wrote me a

letter that put me to tears.

Dear mom,

I am writing this letter to say

that I love you and miss you. Please

get well because I want to stay with

you every day. I will behave like a big

girl so you dont have to worry about

me. I like your presents and hope you

get well soon.

Love, Newnew

Happiness despite painsThe chemo therapy was long

and painful, so I listened to some

music as distraction. I like the Chinese

song Blue and White Porcelain.

It is really well written. The lines

beautifully piece up together a scene

of poem and tranquility. This greatly

distracted my attention and helped

alleviate the pain. I then realized that

art is not useless as many people think

from a practical point of view. It helps

you stay strong, and it is those things

that appear to be useless in normal

days help you in critical moments.

The therapy was long, so I had

plenty of time at hand. I followed my

heart doing things that I loved to do.

This was the time that I tried things

that I longed to do for a long time,

like reading novels, learning Beijing

opera, Kun opera, traditional Chinese

musical instruments, dances and

chess. I watched opera shows, set up

a microblog, and even wrote movie

reviews, in English. I really enjoyed

doing these things. I loved dancing, so

I joined a dancing group. At rst I was

shy and danced in the corner, but later

got bolder and eventually I was in the

leading row.

During the therapy, I had a lot

of time alone, and I came to see what

I am. I often wonder, in those long

and miserable days, why life is full of

miseries and what I should live for.

Of course, not daring to die or not

knowing how to die can be a reason,

but its far from satisfactory. My death

would bring pain and grief to my

family, but thats not enough. I feel

that in the remaining days I should be

responsible for my life.

For my family and friends, I

love you just because I love. And I

expect no reciprocal love, and do not

expect you to do something to meet

my wishes. Expecting reciprocal

love is an exchange, and want of

exchange results means grievances

and unhappiness.

I dont know when I will die,

but from today till that day, I would

live every day in the way that I want,

so that when that day comes, I will

fall in my direction.

Sad thingsSad things happened during

the past two years. Some people that

I knew died in the hospital. One of

them was still chatting with me a

month ago. After the surgery, I was

never able to hold my child up.

Every day in the past two years,

I had to drink herbal medicine of

about 450g, which is the size of a

basketball, and sometimes the biggest

bottle could not hold it all.

Alright, so much for the

unpleasant things, so lets talk about

pleasant things.

The unforgettablegathering

July 23, 2012 was the two year

anniversary of my surgery. According

to our cancer-ghters words, the rst

half year is the peak of relapse, and

the two years is the second. This is

my second birthday, my two-year

birthday in my new life.

On this occasion, I would like

to invite my colleagues in Shenzhen

who had been so kind to me during

the two years. Here is the invitation

letter.

My dear friends,

I would like to invite you all

to a meal. This is to appreciate

your kindness over the years. I will

personally cook the dishes and

hope that this will bring you loving

memories.

This past two years had been

special to me. Two years ago, I was

struck by this unexpected illness. I am

really glad that you were around and

helped me to get to my feet. Thanks

for your encouragement and support.

Well, humble guys like you

would probably say, nah, nah, it was

nothing; we didnt help much; it was

all your strength that carried you

through this. But I must tell all of you

that without you, I would endure this

experience in a much worse manner.

So all of you are very important to my

life.

Our team is a very common

team, and we are all common people.

But all of you helped me with your

love so that I could live through

those dark days. I believe that all of

us would do the same thing if this

happened to someone else. Shenzhen

was new to all of us when we rst

came here. So we had no one to rely

upon but just each other. After all

these years, we can trust each other

in the team. And thats something that

gives me warmth in the cold days.

So please do come to share this

day...

Well, my original intention

was a simple dinner as a token

of appreciation. When I told my

colleagues about this, everyone was

excited and willing to help. One of

them said Please, we can celebratethis at my place which is bigger.

Another said, We will do the

shopping. Dont worry about it. So

this meal treat became a gathering

celebrating my recuperation. They

even set up a project team, held a

kick-off meeting, set a timetable and

work breakdown structure. The only

thing that I did was to cook my best

dish, the hot spicy chicken.

On the gathering day, I put

on the dress that was not my attire

for a long time, and went to Meis

spacious condo. I was a little worried

before I got there because I expected

it to be hilarious rather than sad and

retrospective.

But my worries turned into

nothing when the door opened, and I

saw a few kids jumping and yelling.

Then someone brought some whistles,

and the kids were excited, and pretty

soon the whole room was full of

whistling sounds. Its just the kind of

feeling that I expected.

Although I planned to cook

a few dishes, I had only enough

strength to make one, the Geleshan

Spicy Chicken. They did not allow

me to handle it myself. The chicken

was chopped by Cao, fried by Wen,

and what I did was to nag, chop it

thinner, turn up the stove, and add a

little more spice.

After the meal, we had a

karaoke, and tears blurred my sight

when the familiar and touching lyrics

owed through my ears.

Special thanksI want to give special thanks to

my family and my friends. Without

you, I would never be able to get

through all this. I know that for

the most part of the therapy, I had

to handle it alone, and there were

times that I felt I could endure no

longer. But it was your precious

encouragement that gave me a chance

to take a break and move on.Each of us has a hero deep

inside of our heart. We have a power

and strength that we can hardly

imagine, and it is through those hard

times that you would nd a life-time

opportunity to change you forever.

Those who ght the storms

know that the sun is brighter after the

storm.

A

heavy snow hit Romania in January,

creating perfect snow slopes for many

skiing resorts like Brasov, thus we

took this good opportunity to go skiing

there, a city famous for its legendary

vampire castle and breathtaking snow view. The trip is veryrewarding and brings another piece of happy and unforgettable

experience into my lifelong memory.

The picturesque snow view on our way to Brasov proves

that it is worthwhile getting up so early at the weekend. Life

can be more enjoyable if you'd like to take adventures and

make good use of time.

Go Skiing in BrasovBy Liu Ru/Romania

Brasov is situated at the foot of mountains, and

it is about 30 minutes drive to the ski resort. The age-

old city is less frequented by tourists in winter than the

other three seasons and most of the tourists are here for

skiing. I like the old and weather-beaten architectures

and tranquil roads in Brasov; it always stimulates my

wild imagination of many stories related to the city.

At the mouth of a skiing resort, the cloud-dotted

blue sky, snow-coated pine trees, and people clad in

skiing outt form a beautiful picture. No matter if you

are a skier or not, you are also served with a sumptuous

feast to your eyes. Brasov will never let you down and

go back "empty-handed".

Snow is the best friend for kids in winter; they can

make snow man, have snowball ghts, build snow castles,

go skiing or just enjoy the terric snow view. Any of these

activities can bring them a lot of fun and become a great

treasure to enrich their childhood memory. " Oh,stop it! I

surrender!" Three boys are ghting by snow balls to theirhearts' content.

Watching others skiing skillfully, I don't think it is

difcult to learn ski, but when I wear the skiing boots and

skates, it is extremely hard for me to keep balance. After

many hysterical and horrible screams and fall-downs in

about 3 hours, I nally grasped basic skills like braking

and deceleration, and can ski for about 50 meters at one

stretch.

Apart from the fun from skiing, the snow view is

also a great feast to your eyes. This view can trigger a

ood of imaginations. With the backdrop of blue sky, thehouse in distance is capped with snow and surrounded

by white pine trees, and nearby stretches out a blanket of

snow ground. In front of such a nature layout, I cannot

help miss my family members and my friends in China.

Homey touch! What are you thinking about when viewing

this photo?

If you can ski, it is 100% sure that your life will be

more wonderful than others. Skiing brings you the feeling

of ying like a bird, which is believed to be a long-

cherished dream of human beings. Your ability to balance

yourself and zigzag freely in different kinds of slopes,

and the feeling of "ying" past other skiers can denitely

boost your condence and fuel your desire for life.
