Really interesting report here by our Chair & NED Retreat Partner Accenture UK & Ireland exploring the ways to unlock this value through five imperatives that will accelerate reinvention. Generative AI presenting a greater opportunity for the UK than any other G7 country. The technology could almost double the UK’s long-term growth rate over the next 15 years (to 2038), but there is no guarantee that it's full potential will be realised.  Key takeaways include: ➡️ Based on current executive choices, the UK could miss nearly half a trillion pounds of untapped value in the next 15 years ➡️ Whilst 79 percent of executives report that their UK organisation has piloted Gen AI in one or more functions of their business, only nine percent have scaled Gen AI across their organisation ➡️ A landmark shift in digital skills training is essential to unlock the benefits of Gen AI.

Accenture has been a leading member of the FutureDotNow coalition from the start. The firm's UKI lead for Corporate Sustainability, Citizenship & Responsible Business Camilla Drejer tells us why this joint mission is so important to them and the whole UK economy... 🗣️“Innovation holds the key to unlocking growth in the UK economy and brings exciting change to society. In fact, the UK stands to gain an additional £736bn above baseline from generative AI by 2038 – but only if skilled people remain at the heart of its revolution. 🏃‍♀️‍➡️“We’re not in a race to build a nation of software engineers, but ensuring all adult workers have basic digital literacy – which is vital for skills and their security in a more digitised world. With 21.7 million working-age adults in the UK without digital essentials needed for work, this skills gap is pervasive and urgently needs to be addressed. “At Accenture, we’re proud to support FutureDotNow and join a collective of employers working together to help people build essential digital skills and ensure the UK has the foundations in place to advance in the AI age.” Join Accenture and sign the Workforce Digital Skills Charter today: https://lnkd.in/gGUdbDUX
