Accenture (ACN) is implementing a sweeping workforce restructuring plan centered on artificial intelligence capabilities. The technology consulting firm will lay off employees who cannot be retrained for AI-related roles, signaling a strategic pivot toward next-generation technologies.
CEO Julie Sweet emphasized the company's commitment to large-scale reskilling during a recent analyst call. "We are investing in upskilling our reinventors," she stated, noting 550,000 workers have already received generative AI training. The transition comes with significant financial implications—an $865 million optimization program that includes severance costs but promises $1 billion in savings for reinvestment.
