Accenture Nordics

I går hadde jeg gleden av å dele scenen med Jarle Roheim Håkonsen Ingebjørg Foss Daae og Michael Jacobs i en panelsamtele i tilknytning til IKT-Norge årskonferanse.   Fokus var kunstig intelligens, og bakgrunnen for debatten er en ny undersøkelse fra IKT-Norge som avdekker et bekymringsfullt bilde: Norge taper kappløpet i Norden om kunstig intelligens. I tillegg til at Norge ligger bak Sverige, viser tilsvarende global studie gjennomført av Accenture at Norden som helhet generelt ligger bak resten av Europa. Det er ikke uvanlig at USA er først ute med ny teknologi, og at Europa og deretter Norden følger bak, men en varsellampe i Accentures undersøkelse er at bedriftsledere i Norden i større grad enn resten av Europa betrakter generativ KI som en trussel mer enn en mulighet.   Så mens generativ KI har et enormt potensial, ser vi at enkelte bedrifter er noe tilbakeholdne med sine KI-investeringer. Dette skyldes delvis mangel på kunnskap, men også dypere forståelse for hvordan KI kan utnyttes for å skape verdi. Interessen er der - det finnes neppe et selskap som ikke er i ferd med å lage en eller annen “KI proof of concept” - men for få tar steget fullt ut.   For å komme videre er det viktig å sette søkelys på kunnskap og kompetansebygging. Ved å utruste ansatte med nødvendig forståelse og ferdigheter, kan ny KI-teknologi tas i bruk raskere og på en sikrere måte. I tillegg kreves det at ledere går foran, tar eierskap til KI-agendaen og sikrer at forretning og IT jobber sammen. Og viktigst av alt: her må alle prøve og feile. Start med et område basert på data som er offentlig tilgjengelig og bygg verdifull KI erfaring.   Takk til IKT-Norge for et flott arrangement som belyser et svært viktig tema.

Tusen takk for en hyggelig og inspirerende dag på Salesforce World Tour Essentials på Colusseum i Oslo i går. Utrolig gøy å treffe så mange som jobber med Salesforce, både gamle kjente og nye hyggelige folk. Med en dag full av spennende diskusjoner, interessante sesjoner og nydelig vær ble det et veldig vellykket arrangement. Gleder meg allerede til neste år #SalesforceTour #Norway #AccentureMoments #Salesforce

Today, Save the Children is participating in Accenture's sustainability weeks, where their employees across the Nordic region learn about and engage with environmental and social sustainability issues. This week, the focus is on circular economy issues, the future of food, waste reduction and electronic waste. Save the Children is here to talk about their innovation project Circular Geniuses, which they run together with Accenture and Save the Children Indonesia in the city of Makassar on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Almost 90% of all electronic waste in the world is managed by the informal sector. Individuals, including children, handle the waste and then resell it, and in Makassar alone, at least 200 children between the ages of 6 and 17 are working to manage waste with inadequate equipment. This poses a major risk to their health and well-being. In Circular Geniuses, we support children and families to move away from hazardous waste management, with the long-term goal of sending children to school instead. At our joint program event today, we will explain how the raw material of electronic waste affects children and share how the project has changed the lives of local people. Find out more about Circular Geniuses here: https://accntu.re/4autpcR We are very grateful for this important collaboration, and for the opportunity to raise awareness about the project and children's rights in the context of sustainability, circular economy, and partnership. #SaveTheChildren #SeasonOfImpact #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #AccentureMoments

"Hey Phoenix, please move the packages on shelf C5 to shelf A4! Label the boxes ready to go after this, please." Phoenix is a generative AI robot already in use in retail warehouse operations in Canada. The technological revolution raises many questions: in which direction will AI - which is increasingly becoming more and more human-like - develop working life? And what does it mean for human-like AI to work alongside humans? Our research shows that generative artificial intelligence will transform an average of 40% of working hours over the next few years. What will these jobs be and what sectoral differences do we see in this development? Read the interesting interview with our Data & AI Lead Nordics Karoliina Hagman about this topic in the latest Tekniikka & Talous magazine! 👉 https://accntu.re/4bJ6bRw Read more in our recent report Technology Vision 2024 👉 https://accntu.re/3WfBpuI #IndustrialAutomation #TechnologyInnovation #AI #RoboticProcessAutomation #Robotics #SanctuaryAI #TechnologyVision2024 #accenturetechnology

Without accessibility, 1 billion people worldwide with a disability may be excluded. In honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, discover how we’re advancing #accessibility for our people both professionally and personally: https://accntu.re/3ylMEbe #GAAD #LetThereBeChange [Multi-GIF Description: With this description, we aim to assist individuals who are blind or visually impaired and rely on screen readers: Frame 1: On the left, a purple background with hard-to-read faded text reads: Low contrast text makes this harder to read. The text brightens and words swap out, so it reads: High contrast text makes this easier to read. On the right a sound wave animates on a purple background, then text appears overtop that reads: Captions are a must, especially for people with hearing disabilities. Frame 2: On a plain white background text explains: People aren’t limited by their disability; they’re limited by their environment. And we’re working to change that. The text is surrounded by decorative inverted dots. Frame 3: On a plain white background text explains what Accenture is doing to prioritize accessibility: 36 Accessibility Centers globally, 44 countries offer our Accommodation Support Tool, and 29 countries with disability-focused networks. Above the text, braille letters spell out equality, and below the text braille letters spell out inclusive. Frame 4: On a plain white background text animates to say: We’re breaking sound barriers, vision barriers, mobility barriers. The Accenture Greater Than logo is below the animating text.]

Veldig hyggelig å kunne invitere kunder til frokostmøte om Gen AI og Salesforce i våre nye kontorer i dag. Håper vi klarte å inspirere til å se nye muligheter og konkrete bruksområder som kan gi verdi i hverdagen.   Vi hadde med oss Tor-Erik Mathisen og Turbo-Tor som snakket om muligheter med generativ AI og Alice Rázková som viste oss AI funksjoner som allerede kan tas i bruk på Salesforce plattformen.   En stor takk til alle deltakere som også deltok i workshops og bidro til en fin start på dagen! Og til Ada Mamre og Iselin Østgård Berthelsen for et vellykket arrangement. #AccentureMoments #Salesforce #GenerativeAI
