From summery afterworks to end of the (school) year meet-ups, June was busy and the office was buzzing with partnerships, events, inclusion and innovation all month long. Here's all about it:   📑 We gathered for the #GenAI Executive Gathering to discuss the complexities of the EU’s AI legislation. Our Responsible AI Lead EMEA, Laetitia Cailleteau, and Arnab Chakraborty, Accenture's first Chief Responsible AI Officer, delivered immersive breakout workshops and talks to our clients, tailored to their specific industries   ☁️ We held the Solstice Cloud Security Summit of our partners from the Belgian Cyber Security Coalition. So many insightful presentations about academia, public bodies and the private sector uniting and fostering collaboration to fight evolving threats!   🤝 We hosted the summer event of DigitAll, and it was an all-time high. Signing again new commitments to address inequality regarding digital skills in the Belgium means that we'll continue to strive for an inclusive digital landscape where everyone can thrive   💡 We continued exploring the latest innovations in the market and we invited CyborgNest to discuss connected wearables, and Hentrac to learn about supply chain traceability. Internally, our Accenture Song team held the final of the Song Rise Up contest, which had teams working together in fictive cases to bring forward the best of our skills in customer-focused innovative technologies.   📖 We kept on investing in our corporate citizenship initiatives and supporting our partners in education and entrepreneurship. We organized a job fair with Team4Job and Proximus, flew to Oslo to participate in the Europe-wide AI for Education Awards, supported by Belgium's 40 under 40 and Microsoft, attended BeCode.org's 2nd Partner Day of the year as well as BE.IMPACT National Meetup along with the #ForwardImpact start-ups cohort.   🌈 Last but not least, we've decorated our office to commemorate Pride month, we've held summer afterworks in Luxembourg and Brussels, we've played golf with the Accenture Alumni community, we've played (and winned!) football games in the BX Brussels first inter-company charity tournament, the Empower Youth Cup, and we've watched the Euro Cup games in the office.   😎 The few upcoming weeks will be calmer as the holiday season starts to kick in. Stay tuned for our summer in Accenture recap next! #AccentureMoments Accenture Luxembourg [Photo description: photo album featuring snippets of all the initiatives mentioned above]

Many people feel creativity has become stifled by middlemen and efficiencies—and it’s causing them to tune out. This presents a unique opportunity for brands and creators to take bold risks and avoid falling into the trap of "meh-diocrity": https://accntu.re/3VvRlsl #AccentureLifeTrends [Video Description: An image of a phone screen simulates a social media feed, depicting an account posting pictures of a series of three-dimensional spheres that are almost uniform except for minor differences between them. The “user” scrolls through the feed, highlighting the posts’ monotony and lack of creativity. Text on screen explains: When everything we see is made for an algorithm instead of a human being, things feel stagnant. The final post in the social media feed is revealed to be a beautiful, spinning multicolored prism with many facets that breaks the mold of the previous lineup of monotonous spheres. Text on screen explains: Creators need to pivot away from what’s “safe”… The prism expands to fill the whole screen. Text on screen explains: …and start taking risks to stand out in a sea of sameness. Learn more in our full report.]
