According to Lenovo's Global CIO Playbook, two-thirds of organizations have yet to see ROI from AI investments while struggling to scale effectively due to training, adoption and technical gaps. In addition, as AI budgets triple to nearly 20% of IT budgets in 2025, enterprise IT must modernize with infrastructure that delivers the efficiency, performance and scalability needed to achieve ROI.

AI-Enabling Services that Support Scalable Infrastructure
Despite the rapid rise of AI in the workplace, half of employees feel they receive only moderate support for AI training — a critical gap that stalls adoption and delays ROI without structured enablement.

Key applications include:
Lenovo AI People Readiness Assessment: Assess employee readiness for AI transformation and identify targeted enablement strategies, personas, and high-impact use cases.
