Why Digital Workplace Transformation Can’t Wait — Insights from Lenovo

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- As Generative AI (Gen AI) reshapes how work gets done, companies that delay modernizing their digital workplaces risk falling behind. Lenovo’s latest global research report, Igniting Real Workplace Transformation, reveals a stark reality: organizations recognize the opportunity Gen AI affords, but most have yet to take meaningful action.

Based on a survey of 600 IT leaders, while over 80% believe Gen AI will reshape how work gets done, only 39% say they are actively transforming their workplaces today. Even more striking, 89% agree that achieving AI’s full benefits requires far more than deploying new tools — it demands a complete reinvention of the digital workplace.

True workplace transformation means reimagining how people, technology, and processes come together around a shared vision for innovation and growth.

"Organizations that define a clear, personalized vision for transformation — and act decisively — will be the ones who unlock Gen AI’s full value," said Rakshit Ghura, Vice President and General Manager, Digital Workplace Solutions, Lenovo.

“Transformation is no longer a future ambition — it’s a present necessity. Those who lead will redefine not only day-to-day work, but also what’s possible for their people and businesses.”

The report identifies the top barriers slowing progress toward digital workplace transformation. It provides a clear, strategic roadmap to help organizations accelerate adoption, overcome complexity, and unlock Gen AI’s full value.
