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.
