How IoT will Help us Find the New Normal Post-COVID | Lenovo's John Gordon

What this episode covers

John Gordon, President of the Commercial IoT business unit at Lenovo, explains that Lenovo’s role in IoT is not to manufacture components but to provide turnkey, managed solutions that ensure devices remain operational at scale. He details how Lenovo addresses the post-pandemic 'new normal' by offering pre-validated, end-to-end workplace safety frameworks—including temperature screening and occupancy monitoring—that handle deployment, security, and ongoing maintenance. Gordon argues that moving away from custom, one-off pilots toward standardized, scalable solutions is critical for achieving ROI and managing the operational burden of millions of endpoints across global enterprises.
