The Practice — A Brief Sketch

The Technology Strategy & Transformation Practice is a part of Accenture Strategy and focuses on the clients' most strategic priorities. We help clients achieve growth and efficiency through innovative R&D transformation, aimed at redefining business models using agile methodologies.

As part of this high-performing team, you will work on scaling AI — and the data that fuels it — to power every single person and every single process. You will design and guide enterprise-wide AI & GenAI solutions, from advisory through to production-grade deployment, working at the intersection of strategy and technology.

Business Case & Value Transformation: Assessment of AI potential and development of use cases — including process hotspot identification using process mining and value-led prioritisation — that can transform business operations. Agentic AI Design: Help design agentic workflows, multi-agent orchestration, and AI agent architecture for production-grade deployment using LLMs and GenAI platforms. Formulation of Guiding Principles and Components: Assessing impact to client's technology landscape/architecture and ensuring formulation of relevant guiding principles and platform components for AI solutions. Scaled AI Deployment: Evaluate options for AI productionisation and scaled deployment, including MLOps, AI governance, value realisation tracking, and change management.

Bring Your Best Skills Forward to Excel in the Role

• Process Hotspot Identification: Identify high-value business processes where Agentic AI can eliminate friction and unlock measurable value, using process analysis, business process mapping, process mining, and value-led prioritisation frameworks across target industries.
• Agentic AI Design & Architecture: Design agentic workflows, multi-agent orchestration, and AI agent architecture for production deployment. Demonstrate deep expertise in LLM architecture, prompt engineering, GenAI platforms, and framework selection (LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or equivalent).

• Business Case & Value Realization: Define an AI use case driven value realization framework and build quantitative and qualitative business cases relevant to the client's industry. Benchmark against global research and leading industry peers.
• Proof of Concepts & Prototyping: Help design and lead POCs and high-level solutions using AI or GenAI analytics to derive insights from data. Collaborate with business experts, platform engineers, and technology teams for prototyping and client implementations.
• Discovery Workshops & Stakeholder Engagement: Conduct discovery workshops and design sessions to elicit AI & GenAI opportunities and client pain areas. Use advanced presentation, public speaking, and content creation skills for C-level discussions.
