About this Event
Learn the principles behind Haier’s unique organizational model: Rendanheyi
Haier Model Institute - in partnership with Boundaryless - is proud to offer online remote training to learn the basics and a practical approach to adopt the world-leading organizational model pioneered by Haier Group.
The inspiration of Rendanheyi has the potential to help organizations develop and sustain an Entrepreneurial Ecosystemic Organizational strategy in each industry or context.
Explore a framework to make the best out of Rendanheyi in your unique context of work
This course will make use of a revolutionary set of Creative Commons licensed, freely available design tools that Boundaryless has created - inspired by the Rendanheyi and other cutting edge practices that are based on the same principles: the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Enabling Organization Toolkit (available for download at blss.io/3EOToolkit). Its canvases and guides are the results of a continuous process of “open-sourcing” Rendanheyi experience in order to make it usable by everybody in the world.
During the course, Boundaryless will also exchange with practitioners the outcomes of its own exploration and of the experiences with adopting Rendanheyi in organizations ranging in industries, geographies, and size. When back from the course, participants will be able to freely use the 3EO Toolkit inspired by Rendanheyi and its user-associated support materials to engage with similar transformation projects within their own context.

The online training in a nutshell
On September 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th join us from 1.30 to 5.30 PM CEST to:
- Know the basic nitty-gritty of the Rendanheyi model and its possible generalization through principles, layers, and approaches.
- Learn Haier's Success Story, Culture, and Model based on the expression of human potential and win-win strategies
- Envision and prepare experiments on how this model can work in your company or ecosystem or - if you're a consultant - on how to lead your customers through the exploration of the benefits of Rendanheyi
A training designed for teams supporting executives, consultants, designers, HR, and organizational developers that want to lead a massive transformation within their context.
“The internet has eliminated the physical distance and enabled businesses to become networked. The competitive tension among a company, its employees and its partners should be defused with the aim of building a collaborative, win-win ecosystem.”
“Ecosystem is how we create value for users. Many other companies believe innovation is in new products or new technologies, but we believe innovation is about developing new ways to create value for the user”
— Zhang Ruimin, Chairman and former CEO of Haier in an interview from 2018.
The Context: Learning from Haier, an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Enabling Organization
This online training will help you better understand Haier’s success story as an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Enabling Organization, from its cultural pillars to organizational artifacts that make the company function as a coherent set of loosely coupled, independent, entrepreneurial units.
In the past years, Haier took to its extreme consequences the idea of radically developing platform-ecosystem strategies in every possible aspect of its organization, business models, customer and partners relationships.
From HR to business model innovation, in the past decade, Haier created and evolved as a living system an organizational model called Rendanheyi, which roughly means "Employee, Customer, Happiness". Following this principle, Haier's community of more than 80'000 employees crafted and continuously evolved approaches to tightly couple customer value with the one created for employees.
In this continuous exploration in contracting, staffing, partnering, product/service development, business model evolution, and HR innovation this entrepreneurìal community enabled and harnessed the existing potential within the boundless ecosystem of relationships of Haier Group and its people.
After studying, visiting, and interviewing this large community, together with partners, and Prof. Bill Fischer, we systematized and abstracted the most important principles, practices, and pillars of Haier's success into a step-by-step strategic design approach that allows any ecosystem strategist to envision and experiment with this model.
The Rendanheyi model is a complex, continuously changing model that is still growing and developing. Some parts are more advanced than others - it's a continuous exploration to redefine, challenge, and improve their way of working.

Why is Haier and why Ecosystemic Organizations are so important??

Platforms and Ecosystems as a key transition in the nature of the firm in the XXIst Century
Ecosystems are—quoting Bill Fischer—potential hiding in plain sight.
Just like we’ve helped thousands to experiment with the Platform Design Toolkit, organizations interested in unleashing the potential of ecosystems need to receive the support to sustain their potential and ability to self-organize.
In doing so, firms need to let go control, be open to distributing large chunks of the value, and not just aim at capturing it: it’s about whole systems actualization for the exploration of new possible use cases and experiences.
Did you know that:
- 2019 Drucker Forum was dedicated to understanding Ecosystems
