New Lenovo AI Adoption & Change Management Services help workforces adopt AI confidently, speeding enterprise deployment and achieving ROI at scale New AI infrastructure solutions transform manufacturing, hospitality, retail and smart spaces Expanded Lenovo hybrid AI factory platforms with Cisco, IBM and NVIDIA empower enterprises to build, scale and operate AI anywhere United Arab Emirates, Dubai – Lenovo today expanded Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage™ with new advisory and implementation services, industry solutions and hybrid AI platforms that deliver the modern infrastructure and full-stack capabilities essential to transforming enterprise IT for the age of AI. With the expansion, Lenovo is delivering the complete framework for enterprises to build, scale and operate AI factories built on high-performance servers with accelerated computing, networking, and partner integrations. Together, the new validated solutions, services and platforms help businesses speed the deployment of purpose-built AI across all environments while unlocking faster business value with productivity, agility and trust. 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. 'Lenovo is leading hybrid AI with groundbreaking advancements in integrated solutions that are driving industry-wide innovation and making enterprise-level AI attainable for every business,' said Ashley Gorakhpurwalla, President, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Lenovo. 'With these solutions and trusted partnerships, Lenovo is turning AI into reality with use cases and services that have been tested and proven to drive measurable productivity gains, boost satisfaction, and unlock data for real business value faster.'

With Lenovo services, AI-adoption frameworks for generative AI tools can accelerate productivity and efficiency with a 31% increase in time saved per week. 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. Lenovo AI Adoption and Change Management Services are tailored to help organizations assess their AI readiness, upskill their workforce, boost engagement, and maximize ROI from their enterprise systems through persona-based change management and best practices. 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.

With the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage, we are helping customers turn AI potential into real performance gains, enabling every part of the organization to work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence,' said Ken Wong, Executive Vice President and President, Solutions and Services Group, Lenovo.
