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.
