Telling the DEI Story at Lenovo

At Lenovo, our global corporate communications team got a new direction in 2016. We began to align our team away from traditional internal/external communications roles, and structure ourselves into working groups that focused on the themes that reputation measurement told us were important – DEI/workplace, citizenship, performance and innovation. I had the opportunity to lead the DEI team where we built out a 360 communications plan that incorporated events, executive communications, internal communications, media relations, social media, and pioneering the company’s first DEI report – Connected People Change the World.
