QBITS 2026 Workshop - Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.

AI pilots are easy to start and hard to justify. In a year defined by transformation, IT leaders need a clear way to evaluate AI initiatives based on real business value, not novelty. In this interactive workshop sponsored by Lenovo, Alex “Doc” Docherty from Lenovo’s Enterprise AI team will guide participants through a practical framework for defining the value of an AI solution. Working through a real business challenge as a group, attendees will identify where AI can create measurable impact and how to connect use cases to outcomes leaders care about: increasing revenue, reducing risk, lowering cost, or improving productivity. Participants will leave with a repeatable approach for translating AI ideas into funded initiatives, strengthening the business case, and operationalizing innovation with clarity and confidence.
