Smartphone Manufacturing Forecast to Weaken in 2025
Global smartphone manufacturing output is expected to slip by 1% in 2025 due to tariff impacts and a broader industry slowdown, following a 4% rise in 2024, according to Counterpoint Research.
As Generative AI reshapes how work gets done, companies that delay modernizing their digital workplaces risk falling behind. Lenovo’s latest global research 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 of Digital Workplace Solutions at 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 strategic roadmap to help organizations accelerate adoption, overcome complexity, and unlock Gen AI’s full value. According to the paper, to harness the power of GenAI, organizations must create a clear vision, transform a priority, and turn that transformation into reality.
