We are already seeing a new world made by generative AI running at scale, where businesses are embracing productivity gains and more. But did you know that companies that apply generative AI to customer-related initiatives can expect to achieve 25% higher revenue after 5 years than companies focused only on productivity? Find out more 👉 https://accntu.re/3MWc9UB [Video description: Upbeat music starts and the animation opens on a purple dialogue box and "New campaign" written above it. Text "social, tech jogger, background" is typed into the box and prompts variation of images corresponding to the words in the background behind the box. A mouse cursor drops a pattern image into the bar, and the final image of a colourful wall matching the joggers worn by a person in the video is generated. The person is also wearing white trainers. Text "Get started using generative AI for customer growth" with an arrow shows up at the end, followed by the Accenture logo on a black backdrop.]

We're looking back at Global Economic Summit this #ThrowbackThursday. It was incredible to join the conversation in Co Kerry, working with local and global organisations to develop new solutions to the challenges we're facing worldwide. 🌍 From navigating change and responsibly harnessing AI to sustainable food systems and technological transformation of healthcare, world-leading experts shared their thoughts and provoked conversations we're still taking part in today. Thank you to everyone who attended and made the experience so valuable. 🙌 [Video shows footage of attendees enjoying the Global Economic Summit event, interspliced with shots of Accenture speakers presenting on stage. These speakers are Hilary O'Meara, Paul Daugherty, Enda King and Audrey O'Mahony.]

Did you know that almost 2.1 million people are employed in the #construction sector in the UK? The average age of those people is around 55 years old; uptake of people going into the industry between the ages of 19 to 24 is around 11% and decreasing. In less than 10 years, we will have nobody building. So - what can the industry do to attract young talent, fast? Listen to #WalkInTheCloud where Huda As'ad explores how #digitisation and #diversity are changing the game for #infrastructure and construction… both in attracting much-needed talent and ensuring inclusivity by design. https://accntu.re/3yeoaRG [Image description: Title in top left reads 'Walk in the Cloud', above subtitle 'Infrastructure & Construction: The Untapped Digital Potential'. To the lower right side of the image is a line illustration of a person, a wind turbine and a built-up cityscape.]

The construction industry is facing a few challenges. It has the lowest uptake of digital technology of any other sector, difficulties associated with an ageing population and a low influx of young workers. 📉 Look out for our next episode of Walk in the Cloud, where Huda As'ad talks about the importance of innovation, technology and diversity in tackling this for #construction.
