Cooperation in Lenovo
Everyone working at Lenovo is a team guided by integrity and trust. The deeply rooted
cultural diversity formed by merging the best of Lenovo, IBM, Motorola and other acquired
companies creates a unique power that celebrates many skills and perspectives. In order to
succeed in cooperation at Lenovo you must be able to recognize the powerful contribution made
by diverse individuals and views, demonstrate mutual respect with your peers, and take
responsibility for “doing the right things” to help the team succeed.
What I’ve noticed most at Lenovo is the use of Agile Scrum for teamwork. Agile Scrum
is a set of engineering practices intended to allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software, and
a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals. The main
idea is that every day or every other day there is a 15-30 minute scrum meeting. In this meeting
each member of the team discusses what they’ve done since the last scrum meeting, what they
plan to do before the next and issues that they need help with resolving. Another part of this
Agile Scrum method is Scrum Sprints. A Scrum Sprint is a repeatable fixed time-box (i.e. two
weeks) during which a “Done” product of the highest possible value is created. Agile Scrum is a
very effective way to keep the team consistently up to date and on the same page in order to
create the best possible product. The cooperation of people within a company such as Lenovo is
critical to its ability to grow, this is why Lenovo has become so well-known and successful.
