We're smarter and more innovative when we're diverse.
Through our Building Bridges dialogues at Accenture, where we have brought together people from diverse backgrounds to have sometimes difficult conversations, such as around race, I have experienced the power of storytelling to help people from diverse backgrounds understand each other.
It is very hard to transform your culture and your workforce to be a relevant company in the digital world if all of your processes are stuck in the traditional world.
People often talk about the self-driving car and what will that do. In 32 states, the number one job is to be the driver. But remember, it's not just the driver. Let's think about the truck stops along the way. When you suddenly have a lot of other people who are dependent on those careers.

I grew up with a single pair of shoes until I grew into the next size. My parents believed in the American dream and the power of education but didn't have the money to send me to college. I realized early on that I needed to go against the flow and be better than everyone else to support my family.
Have the confidence to focus on uncharted territory. Take chances.
We don't hire students who are just good at academics.
I'm driven by making an impact on the individuals I interact with and leveraging my success to give back to the world.

Innovation is the new competitive advantage.
Clients want to work with us.
Being an inclusive place means being inclusive for all people.
Digital fluency... is literally your ability to do things like banking online, to connect with people, to use a device and the Internet in a very easy way.

Pretty much every industry we serve feel like they are way over-regulated.
