Accenture CEO Julie Sweet on the Most Important Skill Job Seekers Need Today
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Julie Sweet is CEO of professional services giant Accenture, which has 700,000 employees around the world (it hired 200,000 just in the past 18 months). Accenture realizes the imperative of coming up with new ways to recruit, retain, and delight talent. A recent initiative seeks to onboard each of its new hires in the metaverse.
HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Sweet in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about:
+ The most important skill Accenture looks for in any employee, regardless of their expertise level: the ability to learn.
+ How AI and other technologies can aid in the re-skilling of workforces to keep up with ever-changing demands.
+ What the “phygital” (part physical, part digital) future workplace might look and feel like with the aid of “augmented connections” and the metaverse.
This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success. Each week, HBR Editor Adi Ignatius will interview a leader on LinkedIn Live - and then share an inside look at those conversations and solicit questions for future discussions in a newsletter just for HBR subscribers.

Apprenticeship targeting at non-degree holders is a great way to look at Diversity and Inclusion. I hope more companies can explore this in Developing parts of the world where college education is not as accessible. Bravo #Accenture!
Uui
This is an amazing insight into the work at Accenture. Thank you the the best of CEOs and the anchor. I can’t wait to experience it all.
Highly appreciated this series, it provides update perspectives from thses top players. Keeping us together what is going on and the insights to view differences.
Thanks a lot for doing this... Very useful insights from one of the best CEOs....
Amazing that people can waffle on with joined up words, but say absolutely bugger all
It's a good experience to hear them.
A great interview, thank you HBR and Julie Sweet!
1. She did not seem prepared at all. 2. The location of the books on the desk-behind seems odd. PR shoots should not have been taken that casually. It is possible that she gives less importance to UA-cam or HBR-UA-cam as PR media.
That was super insightful into the company. I have an interview tomorrow and I'm now ever more excited about it. I'm trying to do the most research before it. Hopefully I can report back to this comment section with good news soon.
How did it go?
@@afrozahmedshaikh1236 Final Interview, next Thursday of Friday! 🤞🏼 studying algos and prepping answers to interview questions Ive seen online.
All the best 😁
How did the interview go , Did you get it?
@@kiranmurs interview was awesome but didn't get it, but still got my head held high. Just did an Etsy inteview, and im praying on all the shooting stars and 11:11's lol
Excellence, confidence and huminity
Able to give some notes what it says? I feel very restless listening to the podcast. :/ Need some footnotes...
Proud to be a part of Accemture's legal team.
I've never heard anyone say anything but horrible things about this company.
They see workers like pawn who can be used and thrown away. I'm sure the legal team has the interest of the workers.
Positive reviews on glassdoor are laughably fake.
I am working since 19yrs never felt to leave there are many who is working for more than 10 yrs or 20yrs
Thanks for delivering such an exciting video. I hope to see more great videos like this in the future and keep the good work going on.
But Accenture job process is very bad in india,
And China
What is good in India ?
In what way it’s bad?

Once you get into meta verse do you actually need people as you always have digital cloning. Including an essential skill set. But where does the line of security lie. Even an artificial environment. With remote energy trapping like fiber optics.
This woman runs accenture. Accenture is the administrator of the tsp for federal employees. They don't even answer their phone.
Wonderful
Wow this is super proactive. The best test for quality would be to test if an equal percentage of people by ratio in the lowest level of the organisation are as positively impacted as those in the highest levels of the organisation. If this fails the machine learning algorithm needs tweaking a lot.
Fantastic !!!
What are those books in the background?? Can someone figure?
Presidents of war is one

Presidents of War, Agility, Find Your Why, Brains and Bawn and Red Carpet. Can’t see the other 2.

Best place to begin your career you got to learn so much
La pregunta más importante para cualquier candidato: Ver del min 1:05 al 6:50
Julie, the biggest #1 factor beside being learning innovation is being able to to take criticism from there peers and managers on projects and job related tasks. And then see how much they are willing to take those advice and apply to the organization goals. That would be orange indicator’s alert
If an organization can measure that matrix I would say failure would be less
Accenture is by far the most inhuman place I've ever worked at.
How will Accenture increase their revenue growth?
well I’m working for a large company that thanks to one of these big consultancy names, sunk 100s of millions of dollars in stupid implementation of an ERP system and still paying for fixing the issues. one thing I learned on this channel, learn how to talk! rest is bullshit
Yea, the sales team is FOS, developers and testers, software integration do the real work.
They're often not listened to when voicing issues.

Technology literacy (not expertise) and deep domain knowledge in your specific area of work.
Good.
Just wasted 40 minutes of my life, she's giving high level answers from Google, which literally a 12yo would also know
wow awesome
Accenture treats it's employees like slaves, especially in India. I have done OT work multiple times but not get compensated. I don't recommend Accenture to anyone who want to have work/life balance. They don't listen and runs with less number of resources. #Accenture
wow it's THAT bad?
See nothing has changed since 2008
Is her video background real or a fake wallpaper? It looks very well staged and unnatural.
Wow.
I know people that want to leave this company
I am working since 19yrs
I am a great judge of character. She is really sweet, knowledgeable, and enjoys learning herself. ;3
I think she knows how to manage her peoples
She has a beautiful pair of eyes
This is a Useless content. I have seen better interviews with other CEOs, CTOs, and COOs on the subject that actually provided real life examples and insights. These are just textbook answers plus bs,👎👎👎
Diversity put before respect and decency in my company. I can't wait to leave.
I gotted ropped
Without sounding misogynistic, very rarely women- led companies do very well
Most of the top Companies that are led by men, still dominate the fortune 500 because men able to pursue their careers more longer than women
I just feel that she was nominated to the job based on the pressure to promote a woman
Pick me up
a lifetime lawyer that knows nothing about tech leads a tech firm... suspish. listen to her talk about cloud-embarassing
you are embarrassing
Not impressed with her communications skills. Not sure we are seeing the real person.
most of her answers are vague and normative. if this a class I'll be sleepy in 10 mins
The shittiest Company in the world - Accenture
Accenture, vaccine mandates
How to say nothing , perhaps it's my fault
Why women CEO are unsuccessful
Terrible human, just ended our Project...She just outsourced our work to India because its cheaper, Terrible not just for us but for America. Imagine all these tech billionaires ablle to outsource American work to India because they don't care about the people like they say, they care about one thing Money..Horribe human, talking about "Teams" Terrible for the American People...
