‍

To build this innovation culture in Lenovo, we scale the system with 3 steps

‍

As in START-UP, 

Lenovo In HQ, engage people every month (3rd Friday), to establish the awareness of bottom-up innovation.

‍

Then we move into SCALE-UP section, 

Apply and iterate Innovation-Friday to support local needs, to explore a scalable model.

‍

We foresee the culture developed in the company, 

finally, DE-CENTRALIZATION is coming, 

Then we will see enable cross-geographic collaboration, leveraging the Innovation-Friday in different sites.
