What do you mean when the ladder is not in use?

The first time I listened to the ladder not lying sideways was in a management training class. This is a very classic model, which aims to tell people to establish a mechanism to solve the problem fundamentally. For example, we encourage innovation now, and our approach is subsidies. But when you invent a software, it is either pirated or copied by Tencent. How can you continue to innovate? Our country's official standard thought is too heavy, and everything needs the leadership's attention. There are few such fundamental solutions.
