Mumbai, September 02, 2024: According to Accenture’s Pulse of Change: 2024 Index, 61% of C-suite executives anticipate an acceleration in technology disruption over the coming year. While 76% view generative AI as an opportunity for revenue growth, nearly half (47%) feel unprepared for the rapid pace of technological change. Only 27% believe their organisations are equipped to scale up generative AI within the next six months.
