Richard Connell博士眼中的藥明康德是什么樣的？ | Bilingual

今年是藥明康德成立25周年。

2000年成立至今，藥明康德從一間650平米的實驗室起步，逐步成長為一家全球性、一體化的CRDMO平臺，在亞洲、歐洲和北美擁有20多個研發和生產基地，每年服務全球數千家創新者，助力他們加速新藥、好藥問世，為患者謀福祉。

在藥明康德25周年榮耀盛典上，公司美歐區總裁Richard Connell博士來到活動現場，講述了他與藥明康德的故事。

Richard Connell博士7年前加入藥明康德。每一天，他都深受藥明康德賦能創新的使命驅動，也時常贊嘆藥明康德人時刻將公司的核心價值觀貫徹到實處——誠實敬業，共苦共享，做對的事，把事做好。

正因如此，他不僅為藥明康德過去25年取得的成績而自豪，更相信，在下一個25年，藥明康德將會取得更大的成功，不斷為客戶、為行業、為社會、為患者創造更大的價值。

以下是他的雙語演講實錄。

大家好，我是Richard Connell。我想在這里分享我對藥明康德運營的感受。

首先，在座的各位都知道“藥明速度”（WuXi Speed）。每當我雇傭一個新下屬，我都會向他們解釋“藥明速度”意味著什么——這意味著為服務客戶隨時做好準備，有時你的“客戶”也來自內部，我們內部運營也是以“藥明速度”來推進的。這是最重要的一點。

其次，流程革新，不斷地從0到1創新。如果你從3到4，或者從5到7，那是漸進式創新，而不是0到1創新。而藥明康德一直在進行一個接一個的流程革新。

此外，藥明康德的行為準則之一是“客戶第一”，對客戶合作的細節有著極致的關注。

數據驅動，像變焦鏡頭一樣洞察分析

2018年，我收到李革博士的微信，他說，我想讓你擔任我們的美歐區首席運營官，我想你會喜歡這份工作，你的加入也會給藥明康德帶來助力。

現在，我是藥明康德的高管，我的工作主要在后臺支持。我想告訴你們一些我在藥明康德擔任高管期間印象深刻的事。

首先，你們可能知道，藥明康德的管理團隊主要由科學家組成，所以工作匯報非?！皵祿寗印保瑳]有太多冗余，就是擺數據，講道理，做成幻燈片——都是基于可靠事實。管理團隊的凝聚力也非常強，我很欣賞這里的團隊精神。

我想用變焦鏡頭來舉例，變焦鏡頭意味著你既要看到很遠的未來，制定宏觀的戰略，同時也要能了解細節，無論是采購、工程還是其他方面——這就是我印象深刻的地方，李革博士的洞察分析能覆蓋從頂層戰略，到執行細節。

未來25年，更加值得期待

最后，我想談一談，為什么我對公司未來25年更加充滿期待。

首先是文化，藥明康德的企業文化包含多個維度，不可能在一朝一夕間建成和改變，而這種文化非常積極，非常具有凝聚力——做對的事，把事做好。我認為這在未來25年都不會改變。

我也想強調，藥明康德的愿景會一直驅使著我們不斷滿足各地客戶的創新需求。公司成立初期，我們投資區域較小，而現在，我們正在新加坡、美國和歐洲都進行著更多投資。去到離客戶更近的地方，更好地服務客戶，這是我認為我們能夠成功的另一個原因。

最后，就我個人而言，作為一個曾在不同國家生活過一段時間的美國人，我很高興能擔任一個讓我充滿激情的職位。我認為藥明康德能夠讓我充分發揮潛能——我的科研訓練、我的商業技能、我的跨文化交流能力，等等。能夠加入藥明康德，為藥明康德的成功貢獻自己的一份力量，我為此感到由衷的自豪和興奮。

感謝聆聽，祝大家度過一個美好的夜晚。

I'm Rick Connell. I want to tell you some of my impressions watching how WuXi AppTec operates.

Of course, you all know about “WuXi speed”. Every time I hire a direct report, I have to explain to them what that means to me. That means being available for the customers, and sometimes your customers are internal. We have to work at “WuXi speed”. So that's the first thing.

Process innovation. What WuXi AppTec always talks about is going from 0 to 1. If you're going from 3 to 4 or 5 to 7, that's incremental innovation, but 0 to 1, all through the years I've worked with WuXi AppTec, there's always been one process innovation after another.

The last one, again, one of the values of WuXi AppTec is customer-focus. This culture taught me the kind of attention that WuXi AppTec pays, the details.

Data-driven: From Strategies to Details

Then in 2018, I got a WeChat from Dr. Li. He says, I would like you to be our US and EU chief operating officer. I think you would enjoy it and I think we would get a benefit from you being there.

Now I'm an executive. I go behind the curtain. I want to tell you some of the things that impressed me as an executive at WuXi AppTec.

The first thing is the management team, as you probably know, is mostly scientists. The presentations here are very data driven. There's not a lot of bla bla bla. It's data. It's facts. It's slides, and it's a very fact-based presentation. The management team is unusually cohesive. I also appreciate the team spirit in the management team.

I use the example of zoom lens, because a zoom lens means you can see far into the future or far out, and you want to set a strategy like that, but you still need to know the details, whether it's procurement or engineering or so on. That's what impresses me about watching the management team meetings, Dr. Li’s ability to go from strategy down to very small details.

The Next 25 Years

My closing is what gets me excited about the next 25 years. First thing I've set out is the culture. The various things that make WuXi AppTec special. You cannot change the culture overnight. And this culture is so positive, so reinforcing – doing the right thing, doing it right. I think that doesn't change for the next 25 years.

I would say, again, something that will not change is the vision that WuXi AppTec has to always meet the customer where they are. In the early days of the company, it was in limited locations, and now we're making investments in Singapore, in the United States and more investments in Europe. Meeting the customer where they want WuXi AppTec to be is another reason why I think we'll be successful.

Finally, on a personal note, as an American, who lived abroad for a while, I'm very excited to have a role that gets me excited every day because I think WuXi AppTec uses all of me. They use my research background. They use my business skills. They use my cross-cultural skills. I couldn't be any more excited than being at WuXi AppTec and doing my small part to make WuXi AppTec successful with that.

I'll thank you for your attention and I wish you a good rest of the night.
