Use scientific methodology to guide and implement

Use scientific methodology to guide and implement

Jing Junhai

Grasping the implementation is the fundamental requirement of the party’s political line, ideological line, and mass line, and it is also an important test of the work ability of leading cadres at all levels. Mastering and applying scientific methodology is the key to improving the ability to grasp and implement. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has focused on implementation, especially using scientific methods, published a series of important expositions, and made a series of important deployments: talking about understanding, “to take implementation as the main way to carry out work”; Attitude, “Have the strength to really grasp, the strength to dare to grasp, the skill of grasping skillfully, the tenacity of grasping often, grasp the traces of iron, and leave imprints on the stone to grasp the implementation”; When it comes to planning, take the overall picture, be meticulous and precise in operation, and use embroidery skills to make the work solid and in place.” It is the number one person who must personally grasp and manage it to ensure that the implementation does not go astray or out of shape”, etc. These important expositions by the General Secretary systematically explain a series of fundamental issues such as the thinking method, advancement steps, standard requirements, work style, work organization, etc., which contain a wealth of Marxist thinking methods and working methods. It is of great significance to ensure that all work is carried out carefully and effectively, and provides scientific guidance and fundamental compliance.

In our work, we insist on taking the study and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the primary political task, earnestly study, accurately grasp, and fully follow and apply General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on scientific thinking methods and working methods, and study and implement effective methods. Measures and practice paths, and strive to explore the “five modernizations” work method of “task list, work chart, operation manual, standard template, and special class mechanism”. At the provincial level, the province must fully understand the spirit of the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, digest the spirit of the meeting documents of the Party Central Committee and the State Council in a timely manner, and carefully formulate and issue relevant implementation opinions, plans and measures in light of the actual situation of the province, and systematically implement the deployment requirements of the central government. It is fully transformed into task lists, work charts, operation manuals, standard templates, and special class mechanisms, and organizes cities and counties to use the “five modernizations” work method to pay close attention to the implementation of tasks, and to work hard.

Adhere to the list of tasks, let the implementation focus and focus on the key, ensure accuracy, speed and efficiency

We realize and implement, first of all, to solve the problem of what to do and who is responsible. Comrade Xi Jinping emphasized in the article “The Key is Implementation” in 2011, “Responsibility should be decomposed scientifically, and goals and tasks should be decomposed into departments, specific to projects, implemented to positions, and quantified to individuals. effect”. General Secretary Xi Jinping has also repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to “compact responsibilities at all levels and implement them at every level”. These important expositions have profoundly clarified that the tasks and responsibilities must first be refined in order to implement them well. As a scientific management method, list management is concise, easy to operate, and clear in responsibility. It is an important form of clarifying goals and tasks and implementing work responsibilities. In recent years, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have used the power list, responsibility list, and negative list as the starting point to promote key tasks such as function transformation and opening to the outside world, and have been extended to many areas such as people’s livelihood expenditure, administrative licensing, and rural governance. The list management system is increasingly Show a unique effect.

Jilin Province adhered to the implementation of the list of tasks, built the province’s rectification work system and responsibility chain around the improvement of ecological environment quality, decomposed and refined 45 rectification tasks, and achieved remarkable results in the rectification work. In 2021, the average number of days with good air quality at the prefecture level in the province will reach 94%, and “Jilin Blue” has become a beautiful business card.

At present, the revitalization and development of Jilin is in the critical stage of rolling rocks up the mountain and climbing the slopes. To this end, we implement task list management, refine the work into “five lists” of tasks, responsibilities, problems, measures, and rectification, and build a clear responsibility chain and strict work flow to ensure that all tasks are executable and feasible. Inspection and evaluation. For example, to study and implement the spirit of the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech during his inspection and investigation in Jilin, the Provincial Party Committee held two plenary meetings and made two special decisions respectively to formulate the “General Construction Drawing”, “Sub-construction Drawing” and “Division of Labor Plan” “, clarifies 105 key tasks in 3 sectors, implements target responsibilities, conducts ledger-based, list-based management, and schedules regularly. After continuous efforts, the spirit of the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech took root and blossomed in Jilin. The growth rate of the main economic indicators in the province is steady and rising, the total grain output has reached the level of 80 billion catties, and the growth rate of fixed asset investment has continuously maintained the forefront of the country. For another example, focusing on promoting the rectification of central ecological and environmental protection inspectors and “look back” feedback, we have built a provincial rectification work system and responsibility chain, and decomposed and refined 45 rectification tasks. In the past five years, the rectification work has achieved remarkable results. The proportion of days with good air quality in the province has increased from 82% to 94%, and the proportion of good water bodies has increased from 68.8% to 76.6%. The ecological environment quality has reached the best level since the monitoring record.

Practice has proved that the implementation of task list management, backward goal, time backward, task force, and responsibility check can effectively promote the specificization of tasks, pragmatic work, and quantitative assessment, which is a powerful measure to promote implementation and improve efficiency.

Adhere to the charting of work, make the grasping and implementing charts visible and intuitive, and ensure step-by-step progress and timing

The implementation must be arranged in accordance with the established sequence and schedule, moving forward one time node at a time, with the spirit of nailing the nails and making sure that it is done for a long time. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to “implement the work with the spirit of nailing the nails”, “to formulate a clear timetable and roadmap for the realization of the established goals, and work steadily and step by step.” Nails are often not nailed with a hammer, but hammered and hammered until the nails are firmly nailed. On the basis of listing the task list, locking the date, reversing the construction period, and going all out is to implement the spirit of nailing nails in a graphical way, transform it into a flowchart and schedule in various fields, carry out precise management, and keep abreast of work at any time. progress, work results.

In recent years, we have organized various departments at all levels in the province to systematically sort out the tasks and functions they undertake, make work flow charts and task schedules, and clarify the task requirements of policy formulation, project planning, tracking and promotion, and supervision of implementation. For example, in the battle against poverty, all 1,489 impoverished villages in the province implemented wall chart operations, and each poor household’s assistance ideas, assistance responsibilities, assistance measures, assistance projects, poverty alleviation paths, and poverty alleviation time were all entered into the chart and table. You can see what to do now and what to do next, which will effectively promote the implementation of various tasks. Focusing on the effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements and rural revitalization, we organized all parts of the province to classify and draw 10 maps in 5 categories, including division of labor, tasks, progress, processes, and operations, and aimed at the construction of village-level comprehensive service centers, the improvement of the quality of rural compulsory education, and the improvement of grassroots The key tasks such as the capacity building of health institutions, the improvement of the quality of housing construction for farmers, and the guarantee of water supply in rural areas shall be carried out in an orderly manner with a clear roadmap, timetable and responsible persons.

Practice has proved that work charting is intuitive, clear and clear at a glance, which can improve the visualization of work, simplify complex problems, and popularize professional problems. It is an effective way to save time and improve efficiency. The tighter the time and the heavier the task, the more suitable it is to use charts instead of words to visualize and simplify the information of various tasks, so that front-line personnel can devote more energy to “pinning the nails” and implementing them.

Adhere to the manualization of operation, so that the implementation is consistent and there are rules to follow, to ensure uniform standards and standardized operations

Implementation at the grassroots level, implementation depends on the grassroots level. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “the party’s grass-roots organization is the basis for ensuring the implementation of the party’s line, principles, policies and decision-making arrangements”, and it is necessary to “transform the major tasks proposed by the Party Central Committee into specific work at the grass-roots level, and grasp, implement, and implement. effect”. Improving the executive ability of grass-roots staff is crucial to the implementation. In recent years, with the deepening of streamlining administration and delegating powers, many administrative powers have been delegated to the grassroots. Since 2018, Jilin has successively delegated 272 provincial-level power matters. In 2021, it will launch a pilot program to extend government service matters to grass-roots convenience service centers. The pilot townships (streets) and villages (communities) undertake an average of 22 high-frequency matters. In order to ensure that these administrative power matters can be put down, received, and used well, and that they can truly play their intended role, we must make great efforts to provide guidance and master methods.

During his work in Fuzhou, Comrade Xi Jinping once presided over and directed the compilation of two reference books, “Guide to Fuzhou” and “Guide to Fuzhou Citizens”, which introduced the methods and procedures of handling affairs in detail, which not only greatly facilitated the masses, but also made “do it right away”. , Doing hard work” has become the norm. “A thousand threads above, a needle below.” The more you go to the grass-roots level, the more complicated the tasks are, and the more scientific methods are needed to implement them. If we can formulate different types of work manuals according to the characteristics of different special work at the grassroots level, like a reference book, so that grassroots staff can understand it at a glance, learn it at a glance, and have a book in hand and check it as needed, which is both convenient and operable , it can largely solve the problems of insufficient grass-roots personnel, wrong methods, and ineffective work.

Jilin Province insists on the implementation of work charts, focusing on the effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements and rural revitalization, and organizes localities to classify and draw charts such as division of labor, tasks, progress, processes, and operations, and carry out precise management to ensure step-by-step progress.

In recent years, we have generally implemented operation manualization in various fields at the grass-roots level in the province, which has effectively improved the level and effectiveness of grass-roots work. In March 2022, the new crown pneumonia outbreak broke out in Jilin. We timely organized the compilation of the “Community Workers, Cadres and Volunteers Anti-epidemic Work Guidance (Version 1.0)”, “Jilin Province New Coronary Pneumonia Prevention and Control Manual”, and compiled epidemic prevention knowledge Pocket books, brochures, and understanding cards were distributed to front-line personnel, providing strong support for the prevention and control of the epidemic at the grassroots level. After the epidemic has stabilized, we have organized 62 industry management departments to focus on restoring normal production and living order, and compiled work manuals for resumption of work and production, resumption of school and class, resumption of business and market, and social liberalization according to the actual situation of the industry. Monitoring, personal protection, emergency measures and other aspects are required to effectively prevent a large-scale rebound of the epidemic.

Practice has proved that the “handbook” for implementing the scientific method is an important tool for implementing and doing a good job. It must be carefully compiled to ensure that each manual is operable, executable, and effective; it must be widely publicized so that people can read the manual, know the manual, and use the manual, and effectively solve problems and promote work through manualization.

Adhere to the standardization of templates, so that the implementation standards are clear and the requirements are clear, so as to ensure high standards and good deeds.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “Standards determine quality. What kind of standards have what kind of quality, and only high standards can lead to high quality.” General Secretary’s important exposition profoundly revealed the relationship between standards and quality. In order to ensure high-quality results, high standards and strict requirements are required for implementation. Jilin’s revitalization and development has entered a new stage, and high standards must be established, and the requirements of high-quality development must be implemented in all fields and aspects.

In recent years, in the practice of revitalization and development in the new era, we have explored some unique and effective work methods. The implementation of standard template is to summarize, summarize and improve the experience model and generalizable operation method obtained in practice, formulate and form a widely used standardized work template, unify the standard, implement the benchmark, in a templated way Reflect high standards and high quality requirements. For example, in the security space, we have done a lot of exploration around standard templating. Focusing on the key and difficult problems in safety production, we have organized relevant industry fields to formulate and implement 544 categories of templates. Among them, in response to the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents in rural areas, 21 templates were formulated and promoted, including speed-limiting facilities and “slope-leveling” at rural intersections. In the field of building construction, there are frequent accidents such as falling from heights. 31 templates such as anti-falling and anti-collapse have been implemented, and more than 2,000 construction sites have been “grid” guaranteed. down 48.6% and 48.7%, respectively.

Practice has proved that standard template is conducive to starting from a high starting point, process-based operation, and standardized development, greatly reducing the cost of grassroots exploration and energy occupation, and focusing on implementation of grassroots cadres and improving work quality, which has the effect of multiplying the results with half the effort.

Adhere to the institutionalization of special classes, let the implementation of special personnel and special management, normal and long-term effects, and ensure that things are done and responsibilities are borne by others

For implementation, there must be a team of officers and a mechanism for managing affairs. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to “improve the long-term mechanism for implementation”, “to break through key and difficult points, adhere to the theory of key points, focus on tackling key problems, and lead the way with points.” . Now, new things and new problems are emerging one after another, and there are more and more cross-departmental matters, especially major matters that involve the overall situation. Not only do we need to set up a special class to promote, special people to watch, special people to manage, special people to do, but also to build up and down connections , The responsibility chain of left and right linkage, improve the assessment mechanism that can determine responsibility and can be held accountable, so that all lines are straightened and tensed, so that all departments at all levels are responsible for their own responsibilities and cooperate with each other to ensure that the undertaking is in place, the promotion is in place, put it in place.

In recent years, the institutionalization of special classes has played a very good role in Jilin’s development practice. For example, in terms of project construction, we have successively set up 33 special classes for major project work, such as the “Big Water Network”, the Wanli Green Water Corridor, and the open tourist channel along the border. Grasp and promote the overall acceleration of the project from planning to completion to completion and production. It only took two years to make a breakthrough in the preliminary work of the “big water network” project, which was officially incorporated into the national plan and will start construction in the near future. One of the eight pumped-storage power stations planned and constructed during the “14th Five-Year Plan” has officially started construction, which is also the first pumped-storage base of 10 million kilowatts in my country. The CRRC Songyuan New Energy Equipment Industrial Park project takes 100 days from the signing of the contract to the start of construction, and 100 days from the start of the construction to the product offline. All of these fully demonstrate the “Jilin efficiency” under the promotion of the institutionalization of special classes. Practice has proved that the institutionalized promotion of special classes can focus on major events and overcoming difficulties, and is an important way of working to promote breakthroughs in important fields, major projects, and key projects.

Under the guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on scientific thinking methods and working methods, Jilin has explored the formation of the “five modernizations” work method, striving to connect the macro layout, mesoscopic overall planning, and microscopic implementation at all levels. Links are closely linked, and one step is followed step by step, forming a complete system that runs through the whole process of decision-making and deployment, work promotion, assessment and supervision, and increasingly plays a powerful role in promoting implementation, changing work styles, and promoting development. We must more deeply understand the decisive significance of the “two establishments”, strengthen the “four consciousnesses”, strengthen the “four self-confidences”, achieve the “two maintenances”, keep in mind the “bigger of the country”, and thoroughly implement the importance of General Secretary Xi Jinping The spirit of the important instructions of the speech, learn and make good use of the important expositions of the general secretary on scientific thinking methods and working methods, and further enrich and improve the “five modernizations” working methods, and resolutely shoulder the major responsibility and mission of “new responsibilities, new breakthroughs, and new actions” , to ensure that the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee take root and bear fruit, strive to compose a wonderful chapter in building a new Jilin for socialist modernization in an all-round way, and welcome the victory of the Party’s 20th National Congress with practical actions.
