Lenovo’s journey over the last 14 years has been a remarkable transformation story. But the reality is that Lenovo has undergone multiple transformations to navigate the turbulent and dynamic technology landscape. This keynote will tell the story of Lenovo’s bold acquisition of the IBM PC business, combining an East and West player to build the largest global PC brand in the world, to acquiring the Motorola brand from Google and the X series server business from IBM and numerous other joint ventures to create a formidable $45B global brand.
Specifically, we will focus on four waves of transformation that Lenovo undertook to drive change.
· Culture transformation from an East only company to global 500 brand
· Transforming from a single product line focused company to a multi-product focused brand
· Moving from a pure hardware product company to becoming an innovation focused IOT and AI focused company
· And Finally, transforming from a product company to a “customer centric” company
