Our Chair and CEO, Julie Sweet, spoke with Fortune about what it takes for leaders to evolve and embrace new ways of working in the age of AI.
Accenture CEO Julie Sweet believes leaders must rethink everything — how they operate, how they grow talent, and how they lead. Simply adding AI to your business isn’t enough to stay ahead, she insists. “Being a reinventor is believing that every part of the enterprise and their product has to be reinvented using tech, data, AI — new ways of working, new ways of engaging.” Reinvention isn’t just about business strategy. Leaders themselves have to evolve, Sweet says. That means learning new mindsets, behaviors, and skills—and communicating clearly to inspire people and guide them through change.

Strong message. AI-driven transformation isn’t about plugging in new tools — it requires rethinking how organisations operate, develop talent, and execute. The businesses that approach this era with a reinvention mindset, rather than incremental adoption, will be the ones that stay ahead.
Rethinking talent, operations, and culture is the real competitive edge. #AI is just the tool — visionary #leadership is the multiplier.
Absolutely agree with Julie Sweet! And this isn’t just a Fortune 500 reality. Reinvention applies just as much to a team of 10 as a team of 10,000. Technology can accelerate growth, but only when leaders evolve with it. New ways of working, clearer communication, and a willingness to rethink how value is created. The scale is different, the leadership challenge is the same. Strong point.
My formula of #MaximumAIAdvantage provides the maximum AI Advantage to any business if the conceptual solution framework I provided in my formula is implemented. implementation itself may differ from business to business but the framework provides general direction and assessment and measure capabilities like none other.
Inspiring insights from Julie Sweet on the evolving landscape of leadership in the age of AI. Excited to see how Accenture continues to pioneer in this space!
