AI is radically transforming business. Are you ready?
Look around you. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a futuristic
notion. It's here right now--in software that senses what we need,
supply chains that think in real time, and robots that respond to
changes in their environment. Twenty-first-century pioneer companies are
already using AI to innovate and grow fast. The bottom line is this:
Businesses that understand how to harness AI can surge ahead. Those that
neglect it will fall behind. Which side are you on?
In Human + Machine, Accenture leaders Paul R. Daugherty and H. James
(Jim) Wilson show that the essence of the AI paradigm shift is the
transformation of all business processes within an
organization--whether related to breakthrough innovation, everyday
customer service, or personal productivity habits. As humans and smart
machines collaborate ever more closely, work processes become more fluid
and adaptive, enabling companies to change them on the fly--or to
completely reimagine them. AI is changing all the rules of how companies
operate.
Based on the authors' experience and research with 1,500 organizations,
the book reveals how companies are using the new rules of AI to leap
ahead on innovation and profitability, as well as what you can do to
achieve similar results. It describes six entirely new types of hybrid
human + machine roles that every company must develop, and it includes a
leader's guide with the five crucial principles required to become an
AI-fueled business.
Human + Machine provides the missing and much-needed management
playbook for success in our new age of AI.
BOOK PROCEEDS FOR THE AI GENERATION
The authors' goal in publishing Human + Machine is to help executives,
workers, students and others navigate the changes that AI is making to
business and the economy. They believe AI will bring innovations that
truly improve the way the world works and lives. However, AI will cause
disruption, and many people will need education, training and support to
prepare for the newly created jobs. To support this need, the authors
are donating the royalties received from the sale of this book to fund
education and retraining programs focused on developing fusion skills
for the age of artificial intelligence.
