LEARN IT FORWARD: How Kortrong Turns Experience into Organizational Capability
Time:2026-09-09 source:Teachers' Day 2026 | KORTRONG

At Kortrong, there is always someone willing to show you the way.

It might be an R&D engineer running a demonstration, a seasoned technician teaching someone how to operate equipment on the production line, or a colleague helping you refine a solution before your first customer meeting.

They may come from different teams and have different expertise, but they share a common role: internal trainer.

Some lead formal training sessions. Others share what they know through everyday work.

The idea is simple: turn lessons learned into fewer lessons the next person has to learn the hard way.

In an industry moving as quickly as energy storage, learning everything from scratch can mean falling behind. The right experience, shared at the right time, can shorten the learning curve — and help teams move with greater confidence.

This Teachers' Day, we asked several of Kortrong's internal trainers to share a few words with those who have recently joined us, as well as those considering their next step with Kortrong.

Lessons Worth Passing On

Zhang | R&D Internal Trainer

“Don't get too caught up in the numbers at the start. First understand how the system responds under different operating conditions, and where the boundaries of the control strategy lie. Look for clues in the differences and patterns in the trends. That's where the answers often begin.”

Liu | Product Internal Trainer

“A strong solution is about more than getting the numbers right. It means understanding the technical details and identifying potential risks before they become problems. Even the finer points of a contract can determine whether a solution can ultimately be delivered as planned.”

Zhu | AIDC Internal Trainer

“Specification sheets can be long, but what customers really want to know is what those numbers mean for their business. If you can turn computing density, power consumption and deployment complexity into clear business value, technical expertise becomes something the customer can actually use.”

Zhou | Safety Internal Trainer

“Safety training is not about memorizing rules. Real-world incidents show us why every procedure matters. Every step we take and every emergency drill we run is ultimately about protecting the people working around us.”

At Kortrong, experience is meant to be shared.

To make that sharing part of how we grow, we continue to strengthen the development and recognition of our internal trainers — giving experienced employees a clear path to share their knowledge, develop as leaders and make a broader contribution to the organization.

Because training is only part of the picture.

The bigger goal is to build an organization where knowledge does not stay with one person.

When individual experience is shared, it becomes collective knowledge. When that knowledge is passed on and put into practice, it becomes organizational capability.

That is where talent development and organizational growth come together.

We believe a strong organization is built not only by bringing talented people in, but also by creating an environment where people can learn from one another, take on greater responsibility and help others grow along the way.

That belief is reflected in our approach to internal training, career development and the broader workplace culture we are building at Kortrong.

As our Chairman puts it:

“We learned our way here. We will learn our way forward.”

For us, that means creating a workplace where professional growth and everyday life can both have room to thrive.

From healthy meals tailored to our employees' needs, to gyms and yoga spaces that are open for regular use; from basketball and badminton tournaments to cultural activities around the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, we want our people to have more than a place to work.

We want them to have a place where they can learn, contribute, grow and belong.

Because sustainable growth starts with people.

And when people learn from one another, experience becomes knowledge, knowledge becomes capability, and capability becomes a strength that lasts.
