Notes:
What separates organizations that simply adopt AI from those that truly transform their business? Rob Cato, Vice President of Worldwide Business Transformation for Lenovo's Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) joins us for an insightful conversation on why successful AI initiatives begin with business strategy—not technology. Rob shares how business transformation is "a disciplined shift in the way that we create value," emphasizing that every AI investment should start with one critical question: What measurable business outcome are we trying to achieve? From defining ROI to moving AI from pilot projects into production, Rob explains why infrastructure, data, security, networking, cooling, and services all play essential roles in delivering lasting business impact.
