It’s no secret that the work environment has dramatically changed for a lot of people after the pandemic. Even for those who have returned to the office full-time, the workspace has become much more flexible for a majority of the workforce. These new environments mean our technology needs to adapt to keep up. According to our new research, the “Lenovo Global Study of CIOs,” CIOs (48%) prioritize innovation in new technologies rather than optimizing their existing tech stack. The consequences of not investing in innovation are severe according to this group, with 60% of CIOs reporting that a stop on digital investment would have an immediate or near-term impact on business performance.
These sentiments reflect the modern professional’s need for more mobility, flexibility, security and privacy, and the ability to work in more places while maximizing productivity and collaboration more than ever before. That’s why we need our smartphones, tablets, laptops and monitors to be more flexible and innovative as well.
