That's the conclusion of Lenovo's CIO Playbook for 2026, produced with tech analyst IDC. The playbook is a research-led guidebook for digital leaders who want to move from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment."
"Lenovo's European CMO Alberto Spinelli explained to ZDNET during a media briefing that the research, which surveyed 800 executives from Europe and the Middle East, demonstrates how organizations are moving from scattered adoption to enterprise-wide strategies supported by stronger foundations in data, skills, infrastructure, and governance.

Over the next 12 months, enterprises will move AI from pilots to production-level services that drive lasting business transformation. Organizations are shifting from scattered adoption to enterprise-wide strategies backed by stronger foundations in data, skills, infrastructure, and governance. CIOs should put AI at the core of business, build scalable infrastructure, develop workforce skills, and implement governance frameworks to manage risk. Emphasis should be on measurable business outcomes and responsible deployment rather than speed of adoption. Successful scaling requires alignment of technology, people, processes, and clear metrics of value.
