TALENT AND CULTURE
Pioneering New Ideas – Lenovo’s Culture Driving
Innovation in the PC+ Era
One of Lenovo’s competitive advantages and key reasons
for our success in 2012/13 has been our culture, what we
call The Lenovo Way.
At its core, The Lenovo Way is about commitment and
ownership and is centered on a simple but powerful value
that “We do what we say. We own what we do.” With
the PC+ era here and innovation becoming increasingly
important, the decision was made at the start of 2012 to
evolve our culture to include “Pioneering New Ideas” as our
fifth core vale.
Those beliefs are captured in what we refer to as the 5P’s:
– We PLAN before we pledge
– We PERFORM as we promise
– We PRIORITIZE the company first
– We PRACTICE improving everyday
– We PIONEER new ideas
Initially, “Pioneering New Ideas” and the expanded 5P
culture were launched at three sessions in Raleigh, Prague,
and Beijing with executives around the globe. All Lenovo
executives were charged with cascading what they had
learned and encouraging their teams to embrace this
new pioneering spirit. The results of these efforts have
been outstanding as 88% of employees feel that they
are empowered to pioneer and 94% of employees feel
confident that they can incorporate pioneering in their daily
work.
In addition to making innovation and pioneering a top
priority for our existing employees, Lenovo has also been
aggressive in seeking out external global talent and skills to
enhance this critical capability. Over the past year, Lenovo
has sought out and hired professionals with specific
capabilities in the areas most important to winning in the
PC+ era.
