Accenture’s recent Pulse of Change survey found that 86% of
C-suite leaders plan to increase investments in generative AI, but
only 35% of employees understand the potential value of generative
AI to a great extent. Accenture’s work on more than 2,000
generative AI projects globally provides unparalleled insights into
how AI reshapes roles and processes across industries and
functions.
Accenture LearnVantage helps organizations quickly identify gaps
in relevant and in-demand skills and then provides
industry-specific training needed to fill those gaps at speed and
scale. The AI-native Accenture LearnVantage platform works
seamlessly with an organization’s existing learning management
system. With the help of an AI-powered recommendation engine, the
platform curates the best learning content from Accenture and
third-party providers to offer a personalized learning journey that
aligns with priority areas of learning.
Workhelix’s capabilities include a task-based platform that
evaluates the impact of generative AI on workforces, and pinpoints
opportunities to embed generative AI into processes. It uses more
than 450 million publicly available workplace data points across
more than 20,000 jobs and 300,000 activities to deliver a detailed
plan that helps align teams, prioritize opportunities, and drive
decisions. This leads to a continuous, simplified cycle of planning
projects, deploying technology, and monitoring ROI.
Bringing Workhelix capabilities to Accenture LearnVantage will
help organizations identify specific tasks and roles that can be
streamlined or optimized with generative AI and create detailed,
actionable roadmaps that track results against target goals.
“Generative AI is directing and reinventing how we work,” said
Kishore Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage. “Organizations
need to set and follow a vision to reshape the workforce, reinvent
learning, and prepare workers for a generative AI world. Our
investment and collaboration with Workhelix will augment
Accenture’s capabilities in talent transformation and role-based
skills assessments, building a foundation that delivers
personalized learning for both tech and non-tech users.”
“Accenture has a storied history of helping companies navigate
transformation using AI,” said James Milin, Co-Founder and CEO of
Workhelix. “The workforce and economy of 2035 will look
significantly different than today, and we’re thrilled to work with
Accenture to help usher in that transformation with data and
rigor.”
Workhelix will also join Accenture Ventures’ Project Spotlight,
a vertical accelerator for data and AI companies. Project Spotlight
offers extensive access to Accenture’s domain expertise and its
enterprise clients, helping startups harness creativity and deliver
on the promise of their technology.
