Intelligent automation betters man-machine relationship

Somewhere in the middle of the digital revolution, business leaders started noticing a strange phenomenon. The revolution, as it turned out, wasn't about technology--it was about people. Although digital seems to be pervading everything, with the global digital economy accounting for 22% of the world's economy in 2015, up from 15% in 2005, leading companies that place people first will find success in a world that continues to reinvent at an unprecedented rate. The 2016 Accenture Technology Vision highlights five emerging technology trends shaping the new landscape: intelligent automation, liquid workforce, platform economy, predictable disruption and digital risk. Despite the fact that each trend outlines a technology driver that will impact businesses for years to come, they are tied together by the central theme of people.
