Ed Soo Hoo | Lenovo | Leading through now, new and next

In this episode of Venture Ahead, Joe Haslam talks with Ed Soo Hoo, Lenovo's WW CTO for Global Accounts, about building resilient companies through uncertain times. Ed introduces his "three Ns" framework - Now, New, Next - and explains why innovation flourishes when you pair fresh eyes with wise eyes. They discuss optimizing for return on experience over ROI, and creating cultures where unexpected leaders can emerge. The conversation swerves into a memorable Japan boardroom negotiation involving samurai swords, and why not everyone needs to charge the hill; there is always a place for operators.https://www.linkedin.com/in/edsoohoo/https://www.lenovo.com/https://www.southsummit.io/leader/ed-soo-hoo/https://www.ie.edu/university/about/faculty/joe-haslam/https://www.southsummit.io/brazil/
