Hey!

IF still relevant for you / someone, I would recommend the following:

Here are some key tips to help you prepare for your Accenture tech showcase:

Choose a technology you're comfortable with: AI is often the easiest to present due to its broad applications and familiarity.
Pick a relevant industry: Automotive or Energy are great choices with clear, impactful use cases.
Structure your discussion:
1. Introduction: Briefly define the technology (e.g., AI involves machine learning, automation, and data-driven decision-making).
2. Industry Challenges: Identify 2-3 key pain points (e.g., in automotive—supply chain inefficiencies, predictive maintenance, customer experience).
3. Solution: Explain how AI can solve these (e.g., predictive analytics to prevent breakdowns, personalized in-car experiences, demand forecasting).
4. Business Benefits: Highlight efficiency, cost savings, customer satisfaction, and competitive advantage.
5. Challenges & Implementation: Mention considerations like data privacy, integration, and training.
Be concise and structured: Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to present your ideas clearly.
Show business impact: Use data points or case studies if possible.
Engage the assessor: Ask for their thoughts or relate examples to Accenture’s work.

Good luck! Alessa
