Avanade UK & Ireland’s Post

Proud of the team as Avanade is today named 2024 Best AI Consulting Service Provider in the #AIBreakthroughAwards. This award recognizes our strategic 'Disrupt Avanade' AI program, where we act as our own "client zero", meaning transforming our business and ways of working such that we can share those learnings with our clients.  For example: how to practically embrace responsible AI to ensure safe and ethical adoption; how to approach AI in a people-, not technology-centric, way which breeds trust and adoption at scale; how to develop skills at scale; how to achieve meaningful and measurable business value; how to team across organizational nodes in a way which balances risk/reward, and moving at speed but with guardrails rather than speedbumps; how to team with IT and the wider partner ecosystem to find the right balance of buy/build, etc, etc. https://lnkd.in/gm7eaTvp We have a lot to celebrate – well done everyone!
