He also proposed three steps for an enterprise to go Internet, i.e. “lean internal organization, external interconnection and digital intelligence”, and deepen the big data reforms and reconstruct the enterprise. He pointed out the lean management was still required in the Internet era because internal and external measures should be taken simultaneously.
