IN FOCUS
NAME: Richard Lee
COMPANY: Lenovo Group
POSITION: Vice President
LOCATION: Beijing, China
The Lenovo Group story began more than three decades ago with a team of 11 engineers in China. Today, many chapters later, the company is a global leader with US$43 billion in revenue, hundreds of millions of customers and a dedicated and diverse group of innovators spread across 160 countries. And though impressive, its story is far from over. In fact, with the “new normal” brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, one could argue that its story is about to get a lot more interesting.
“Lenovo is an innovative company that’s driving digitalisation in the new normal,” Vice President Richard Lee says. “In the new normal, social distancing is key and, as such, digitalisation and the use of technology is important. For our company to be a leader, intelligent transformation will remain a key focus.”
To accomplish this, Lenovo created its 3S strategy – Smart IoT, Smart Infrastructure and Smart Vertical. And while it keeps the innovative company on the right track, its immediate line of sight has been muddied by COVID-19.
“A lot of what the next year or two will look like depends on COVID-19,” Richard says. “The biggest challenge for us has been the rapid change, which has also been affected by the pandemic. COVID-19 has had a big impact on supply chains and also on the lives of many. We had to overcome supply chain challenges and, at the same time, take care of our employees.”
