Fupan (复盘), “replaying the board,” comes from weiqi. After a game, both players replay it to fix it in memory and to find the gaps in each side’s attack and defense. In 2001, Lenovo’s founder Liu Chuanzhi was the first to apply fupan to business management. He often says: “One of the secrets of my life is to replay often.”
Lenovo later designed a report template for replaying a business or a project.
