Tomorrow Leo and I begin our 2-week journey with Lenovo’s consumer product management team. While unsure what I will be contributing, I look forwards to meeting Lenovo employees and learning about Lenovo’s various consumer markets.
Here’s a graphic on agile design, something that Leo and I did research on in anticipation for our time at Lenovo.
Enjoy tomorrow, Kaeshev
The last day was sadly the most uneventful day. We started off the day not doing much as Greyson had a couple of standard meetings he had to attend. Greyson then was able to set up a meeting for us to talk to the Business Manager of the gaming side of Lenovo. He talked about the coordination of selling millions of units of computers. We then took a while to pack up all of the hardware that we tested over the two week period.
Finally we said our goodbyes as Greyson let us have a half day as our last day. We gave everyone their gifts that was able to volunteer their time to us. Here is the last picture of our trip.
A college intern, Brad, is on the far left Greyson is next to him and Naomi is in the middle.
We started off the day as we always do, with a quick debrief of the day ahead and a couple minutes to gather ourselves before the day started.
Our first task was to explore a program that is still in beta, or still in the making. The program was to migrate all of the files on one computer to another computer. The target market was for new computers so that it is easy to switch your files through a cloud rather than through a hard drive or going back and having to re-download everything you had on the old computer. What he wanted us to do was to test the program and take notes on anything wrong or anything that would be confusing to a non tech savvy person. We were able to figure out some great things to really help with the user-friendliness of the program such as it seemed that we were sending files to the old computer when in reality we were pulling files to the new computer.
The next thing we were able to do was talk to one of the project members of the A.I. team. We got to explore the evolution of A.I. and how Lenovo was trying to use it on future projects. We found that they mainly focus on A.I. around the eye and what the eye likes to do.
Then, our boss, Greyson, took us on a special tour of a part of the building very limited people have access to. He told us all about how they take all the other companies executives who are visiting through this part of the building. It included a very large display of many monumental products that they have created along the way of this building company. We even got to see one of the very first computers that they ever made which is crazy to see how the times have changed.
