- Lenovo's new research highlights a pressing need for digital workplace transformation to fully leverage Generative AI (Gen AI).

- 89% agree that full AI benefits require a complete reinvention of the digital workplace.
As businesses worldwide face the transformative wave of Generative AI (Gen AI), Lenovo's new global research report, "Igniting Real Workplace Transformation," underscores an urgent call for digital workplace modernization to prevent companies from lagging behind. Conducted with 600 IT leaders, the report reveals that while a substantial 80% of respondents acknowledge the transformative potential of Gen AI, a mere 39% are actively engaged in digitizing their workplaces today.
In a startling finding, 89% of IT leaders concurred that realizing AI's full benefits necessitates more than just new tools—it demands a holistic overhaul of the digital workplace, integrating people, technology, and processes around a unified innovation and growth strategy. "Transformation is no longer a future ambition—it’s a present necessity," stated Rakshit Ghura, Vice President and General Manager of Digital Workplace Solutions at Lenovo.
The research outlines specific barriers that hinder progress toward digital workplace transformation and offers a strategic roadmap to accelerate adoption, simplify complexity, and fully leverage Gen AI. Lenovo (LNVGY, Financial) envisions a future workplace, branded as "Work Reborn," where hyper-personalized Gen AI tools enhance collaboration, innovation, and business outcomes by eliminating daily workflow friction without compromising security and scalability.
Lenovo, a US$57 billion revenue global tech leader and the largest PC company, continues to push the boundaries of AI-enabled solutions, reflecting its commitment to building a smarter, equitable future. The company, listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange under Lenovo Group Limited (HKSE: 992), is a trusted name serving millions in 180 markets.
