HIGHLIGHTS: Julie Sweet - CEO of Accenture

Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everyone, I'm Nicola Tanyan and today I'm in really good company with Judy Sweet, the CEO and chair of Accenture, which is one of the world's largest and most influential professional services companies. And under her leadership, Accenture has led the way in digital transformation, innovation, and helping businesses worldwide to harness the power of technology. And we are lucky because in the fund we own more than 1% of the company worth more than $2 billion.

So welcome, Judy. Thank you for having me today. Now you employ more than 700,000 people, which is more people than in the whole of Oslo. And so how do you run a company like that? With a lot of help.

So I've got a great leadership team. Yep. And uh and you know, we have a really good way of operating. So one of the things I first did when I became CEO was to actually change the way that we were organized so that we could be much closer to our clients and our people because as you scale, it's really important that your leaders are close to your people. Stupid question.
