After CEO's 'exit' warning, Accenture now has an 'AI rule' for promotions
Accenture is tying senior staff promotions to AI tool usage, requiring "regular adoption" as a criterion for leadership roles. The consulting giant is also tracking individual weekly logins to its AI tools. The move follows CEO Julie Sweet's earlier warning that non-adapters would be "exited." Internally, some employees have pushed back, calling the tools "broken slop generators." The policy comes as Accenture's share price has fallen roughly 42% over the past year.
