The key to innovation is in the stories of the past. Accenture in South Africa recently held our first CxO Connect event in Cape Town for 2024, hosted by myself with guest speaker Alistair King   We discussed the topic of “Good Old-fashioned Future Innovation”, covering key principles from past #innovation stories that are valuable and can be applied by all Business and IT leaders, in all industries.   A key theme throughout the night was #storytelling! Alistair eloquently shared four inspiring stories, each with their own takeaway:   Innovation is more than a principle. It is a #culture that must be fostered. #Hyperpersonalisation is often missed, despite all the technology available to us today. Is your customer experience a personal one? Leaders should go beyond designing products and services that are just functional and should consider delivering offerings that are special and spectacular! Storytelling is still powerful. Do not forget to tell beautiful stories through your products and services.   Thank you to everyone who participated in the discussion and shared their perspectives on this insightful topic. Let us continue to draw inspiration from the past to innovate now and in the future!   #Accenture #TechnologyStrategy #Innovation   Accenture | Accenture in South Africa | Mukhtar Dharsey | Willie Schoeman | Kiara Budhoo | Micaela Rich | Sameera Kajee | Alistair King

How do #brands best leverage #digitaltech & outpace competitors? By becoming the best at #learning about their #customers through tech #relationshipbuilding. That’s what every company featured in INSEAD’s case collection from L'Oréal to Air Liquide, Accor, Majid Al Futtaim, Sea or Google & more (link in comment) has done so by building a #digital lighthouse: new capabilities in the form of a memory (to learn from past small scale tests & experiments), ears and eyes (to learn from the environment) & touch - in that order. Companies lost in transformation, instead, build their lighthouse the other way around, unsurprisingly with little success. Take a look at short video summarizing why, if transformation is a water race, embracing the lighthouse approach empowers organisations to surf successive technological waves and durably lead the race (link to YouTube: https://t.ly/2Wksz).

How do you manage global networks and teams in a large international organization? Today, Christian and myself paid a visit to Copenhagen Business School to provide inspiration on how Accenture Nordics manages this exact topic 👀 Why is Accenture relevant for such a conversation? Well, since we are a project-based organization... - of 730,000+ people with multiple backgrounds - working across 200+ office across the world - serving 40+ industries globally - operating across five overarching service areas (Strategy & Consulting, Technology, Song, Operations, and Industry X) - delivering projects across a broad spectrum ranging from pure technology projects all the way to pure business projects ...we have quite the experience of working in global teams and navigating huge knowledge networks 🧠 Although we can easily discuss various frameworks and methods on how to best establish, structure, and operate teams, the truth is: IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT 🤯 There is no one-size-fits-all secret formula... You need to effectively evaluate each situation and figure out what team constellation and tools can provide the most value. Different situations will set different requirements towards team size, competencies, diversity, etc. No matter the size of the team, however, you are never alone. When being a part of a big consultancy company like Accenture, it is also important to remember that clients often select you due to the collective knowledge of the organization. Therefore, it is important that you as an individual can capitalize on existing knowledge to not reinvent the wheel. The power lies in mobilizing internal people and knowledge effectively 💎 Thank you for the lecture invite, Louise Mors! 🤝 #Knowledgesharing #teamwork #leadership

Since our recent post on academy companies sharing the aggregate results of our research, we have received questions about whether the results differ according to function, industry and region. For this research, we partnered with the The Official Board to survey executives on the topic of academy companies, companies that develop and export effective leaders to other organizations. Here will share our results on academy companies by industry (we will post separately about function and region). We will post the top three academy companies for each. If more than three companies are listed, it is because of ties in the rankings. In the consumer goods industry, the top academy companies were: Unilever, Nestle and P&G. For manufacturing, they were: Bosch, Shell, BHP and Siemens. For the service industry, they were: McKinsey, Deloitte, Amazon and BCG. For technology, they were Microsoft, Accenture and Vodafone. For transportation, they were: DHL, DSV and Lufthansa. For finance, they were Citibank, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. Lastly, for healthcare, they were: Pfizer, Novartis and J&J. For a complete list of our findings for seven industries, please see our background note: https://lnkd.in/efGVPjcp. For our HBR article on the topic, please see https://lnkd.in/eBec7mCP.   #hbr #ypo #opm #academycompany #talentdevelopment #learninganddevelopment #traininganddeleopemnt #talent
