George Marcotte shared thisAn insightful example of the potential change in work and skills as AI agents, propagated through AI ecosystems, comes closer to realityGeorge Marcotte shared thisAgentic AI is on the bleeding edge of the AI landscape, but even in its nascent stage it stands to have huge potential in democratising knowledge work, and filling the specialist talent gap. Agentic AI is also shifting how we work with AI to a model of peer to peer collaboration, and could significantly change traditional enterprise operating models. I hope this latest blog in the "Data Strategy for AI" series proves a useful read!Agentic AI: The promise of an always on expert partnerAgentic AI: The promise of an always on expert partner

George Marcotte shared thisSome timely perspective on how best to achieve your initiative’s purpose from my brilliant colleague Koen DeryckereGeorge Marcotte shared thisTechnology + possibility. It's on many of our minds, especially with the recent launch of the Artemis rocket as part of Nasa's mission to take astronauts back to Earth’s moon. But large-scale digital thinking and projects can make a big impact closer to home. Robert Lightfoot of Lockheed Martin Space believes that there are 3 critical elements to successful “mission-driven" transformation: 1. Walk side-by-side with your customers 2. Use digital tools as a test bed 3. Keep your ‘why’ front and center Which of these could you better leverage for your journey?🚀🌑 #digitaltransformation #digitalreinvention #technology https://lnkd.in/dDG_yec7

George Marcotte liked thisGeorge Marcotte liked thisJohn J. Edwards III and I are about a week away from having another college graduate in the family. Like his sister before him, he's finishing up his undergrad requirements early. With this exciting milestone looming, I pulled out my resume from college. Yes, that IS salmon pink paper and the telltale sign of a dot matrix printer. I have to believe that helped me to stand out and ultimately achieve my stated career goal of "a position in the field of public relations." Jake Edwards inherited his parents' interest in storytelling and added rigorous college coursework from the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. If you are interested in helping a promising early career talent with a better set of work experiences than I had at his stage, please be in touch. He's most interested in media research and analysis that helps move hearts and minds connected to sports and entertainment. #proudmom #networking

George Marcotte liked thisGeorge Marcotte liked thisMen’s health isn’t about bravado - it’s about honesty when life is hard. Last week, I had the privilege of joining Accenture’s International Men’s Day Mo Masterclass panel with Arsenal legend, Paul Merson and Sara Sternberg from Movember ably compared by Tom Ellis also from Movember. As an Arsenal fan, meeting Paul was special - but hearing his openness about mental health, addiction and recovery mattered far more to me. It reminded me how often we carry things quietly, and how powerful it is when someone says, “I’ve been there and i got through it.” “The message I would give to people with anxiety is you’re not alone. There is help out there and seek help, please. And your life will become so, so, so much better.” - Paul Merson We spoke about men’s health across life stages, the pressure to “just get on with it,” and why asking for help is a strength - not a weakness. The level of engagement blew me away: roughly 1000 colleagues online and 200+ in person joined, shared, listened and supported one another. I’m grateful to everyone who leaned in, and to our partners at Movember for bringing evidence, empathy and action to help drive the conversation. My takeaway: Creating space for honest conversations changes culture. It makes it easier for the next person to speak up. Call to action: If any of this resonates, do one small thing next week: - Check in on a friend or colleague - really ask how they’re doing and listen to the response - Share your own story (big or small) to help someone feel less alone - Back the cause at https://uk.movember.com/ or join a wellbeing network where you work Let’s keep the momentum going - because honesty, openness and support save lives. #InternationalMensDay #Movember #MensHealth #MentalHealthMatters #Inclusion #Leadership #AccentureUK Thanks to all the people who drove the whole event and ensured the content resonated so well especially Simon Mitchell, Mark Whitehead, Jack Riley, David Cullen-Jones, Jamie Wright, Louise James, Khalid Hamdan

George Marcotte liked thisGeorge Marcotte liked thisBVCA Gala 2025 and another year for Briggs Capital Formation LLP as a proud supporting member of the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) Nakul and I spent a good chunk of the networking time whispering words like "platform extension", "spin out" and "semi-liquid fund" to mid and upper mid market attendees to see how they respond The glitz and glam of the Londoner Hotel ballroom also seemed as good a place as any to ask around about the recent WSJ article debating if the "Golden Handcuffs" of PE have finally come off. Answer currently remains to be seen!
