sourced_title: Managing Director - EMEA HR Transformation Leader

headline: Managing Director @ Accenture | Leader of HR & Workforce Transformation in the age of AI

about:
I help global organisations rethink how they attract, develop and deploy their people - redesigning the People/HR function, the operating model around it, and increasingly the way work gets done as AI reshapes the workforce.

For 25 years I've led large, messy people and workforce transformations for some of the world's best known companies - across consumer goods, industrial products and manufacturing, energy, life sciences, financial services and professional services. My work spans from enterprise-wide HR and operating model redesign, to large-scale change and talent programmes, to the people/tech side of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.

What I'm really interested in is the intersection of the people function, the technology that enables it and the commercial outcomes the business is after. At Accenture I've led the Talent & Organisation practice across UK & Ireland, served as EMEA HR Transformation Leader, and held commercial leadership for the Talent business across Strategy, Consulting, Technology and Operations. Much of it delivered on the major HR and service platforms like SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Oracle and ServiceNow - increasingly with AI woven through the design rather than bolted on at the end.

Before Accenture I spent 15 years at IBM as an Executive Partner in Talent & Transformation, leading HR technology transformation across a range of industry client groups. Some of that was among the earliest work putting AI into the people function, back in the Watson era, including standing up IBM's Watson Legal AI consulting business, well before most people thought AI belonged anywhere near HR - let alone a law firm.

Earlier still, I was a global HR solution architect on enterprise programmes at Nestlé, BP and Philip Morris International, among

about:
Executive leader driving data strategy activation, customer experience, governance and adoption across complex, regulated environments (Utilities, Telco, Energy). I translate enterprise strategy into operational actions and data foundations that are secure, compliant, discoverable and reusable and then make them stick through operating model, capability uplift and measurable value delivery.  ￼

Highlights include enterprise analytics enablement (Tableau rollout with dedicated server), launching a real-time insight product and building a community of practice to scale adoption and consistency across the organisation.  ￼

As an executive / CIO and senior transformation leader, I bring strong data trust instincts: cyber/resilience uplift, clear governance and transparent reporting, and confident engagement with regulators/oversight bodies.

Richard Johnson

headline: Senior Editor and Head of Data Visualization at McKinsey & Company Publishing

about:
Richard is a Senior Editor, and Head of Data Visualization with McKinsey's publishing arm. Before joining the Firm he was most recently a Senior Graphics Editor with the Washington Post. Before that he was Assistant Managing Editor for Graphics and Illustration at The National Post in Canada.

On a day-to-day basis Richard manages a small team of excellent data visual experts who create the bulk of the exhibits supporting McKinsey Publishing. But really that is just his day job.

Talk to Richard outside of that context though, and you will quickly discover that he is a bit of a drawing fanatic. He is fervently devoted to the notion that witness-art has the singular ability to transport people into a moment, to make them think and make them feel. Throughout his career Richard has lived that role of artist and witness.

As a visual journalist, he has covered conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine, embedding with Canadian, U.S. and Afghan forces. His drawings are created beside the troops in the field documenting the experience as he see it. Much of Richard's work is held by the Smithsonian Museum of rmed Forces History, and the National museum of the Marine Corp. It has not all been about conflict though. Richard has used his drawings to tell stories about internal displacement, hunger, disease and famine in Africa; about the struggles of homeless veterans, wounded warriors, and survivors; about homelessness, and dying children; about refugees and migrants; and even hurricane survivors. He has documented legal drama, as a courtroom artist witnessing the trials of the Benghazi mastermind, and the Boston Marathon bomber. For Richard, art is about capturing a scene from a life, committing it to paper, and, hopefully, making people care.

headline: Head of AI – Life Sciences | Helping pharma, biotech & medtech leaders turn AI ambition into results

about:
Most AI conversations with the technology. I start with the question of what it means to truly reinvent a business — and work backward from there.

As Accenture's Head of AI for Life Sciences, I work with leaders across pharma, biotech, and medtech to move past the hype and do the harder work: reshaping strategy, rewiring how organizations operate, and building the capabilities that make AI impact stick at scale. That means more than good technology. It means new ways of working, new incentives, new partnerships and the willingness to challenge orthodoxies that have built up over decades.

I've spent 30 years at the intersection of life sciences and technology, and I'm more convinced than ever that AI represents a generational opportunity, not just to improve how these businesses run, but to change what's possible for patients.

Before this role, I led Accenture's global digital asset and platform portfolio for life sciences, including the INTIENT solution suite. Prior to that, I founded our global patient solutions business, a practice spanning consulting, experience design, advanced analytics, and technology that has enabled enterprise-scale patient-centric transformations across the industry.

If you're done prioritizing use cases for pilots and are thinking seriously about what AI means for your business to produce real results, I'd welcome the conversation.

Has AI made code generation too easy?

Interesting new survey from Lightrun (see link in comments) found that 43% of AI-generated code changes require debugging in production. And that the burden on engineers has moved from building faster to reviewing the enormous volumes of AI generated output.

In biopharma and medtech, I'm seeing the same pattern play out: teams are racing to adopt AI-assisted
