and accenture offered me something different. and i decided to take it, and i think it was the last gift of my dad, to be honest. david: so, did you think when you joined the company that a female would be part of this -- would run this giant organization, or did you think it was going to be a male-run thing? julie: when i joined the council, the average tenure of leadership was 30 years. i did not come in with the expectation that i would be ceo. and, you know, really, when we think about how do you make a change in leadership and how do you continue to foster diversity in your leadership, our former ceo was a great example of someone who sponsored me, saw potential, and created a new pathway that i certainly didn't have an expectation when i came into accenture. ♪ david: you're one of the largest private employers in the united states, is that right? julie: that is right. and that is globally, of course. and last year, actually, we are really proud that we added a net 100,000 jobs last year around the globe. david: so during th

not because of accenture but because of how the client worked. what we are trying to do now is work with our clients to work differently and to work faster. david: do you charge by the hour? by the project? what is the secret of your billing? julie: our preference is to either have a fixed fee or to have something that shares upside or downside and the reason for that is we don't view ourselves as a vendor or a consultant and that we are keeping ourselves at arms length. we believe the best way to get success is to co-create solutions, have integrated teams. the advice i will often give ceos is our team at accenture and the client's team should have the exact same performance objective so they are completely aligned. not every client is willing to work that way but we think it is really important. we have a lot of clients that want to bill by the hour and that is their choice but that is not our preference. david: suppose somebody hires your firm and they have it when you're consulting project and at the end of it they say i don't like this consu

when you look at what accenture does, we are different than a traditional version of a consultant. clients look to us for two things. relevance --how to help them be relevant today and tomorrow like a jaguar or land rover who wired us to help them radically transform the marketing of their vehicles and the experience. the other thing is results. not just advice but actually how did things change and how to execute like supply chain where we digitize it and change their inventory results in their turnaround. we don't simply consult in the traditional sense. we are about relevance and results. that is what is driving our business good david: suppose i'm a corporation and have a problem and typically today when you have a problem, you call a consultant. they call you up and say you consult with me to solve my problem. do you put in a team of people? julie: that is a great question. one of the most important things is to start with what is the problem or the opportunity and we are focused on the key to solutions that get customized by the client but not trying to beep a spoke. the old

what is your posture in the posture of accenture?uld you take positions on these or you, as a ceo, should take positions or not? julie: it is about what the position is being asked about. we start with, do we have relevance and are we willing to walk the talk? take payee quality for example. we are one of the largest employers in a world and a very diverse employer. we have been systematically making sure that we have equal pay for equal jobs for seven or eight years now in terms of robust systems. when we were asked to sign, by president obama, a commitment we thought we could sign it because we were relevant and we were walking the talk. we definitely look at is it relevant to our business and we have something relevant to say? and then we have to make sure we are committed to take action, not just say somebody else should but at our company. david: traditionally, ceos were supposed to worry about, public companies shareholders. now you have to worry about employees, your customers, your communities. do you focus on your shareprice

accenture did the same.avid: did you have mistakes you made or failures you can talk about so people feel you are not a superhuman? julie: people ask that question as if the only challenges at work. challenges in a lot of different , packages. ♪ david: now there's a lot of ceos being asked to take stances on policy issues, voter rights, and things like that. do you think you should be taking this position on these or do you as a ceo, should you be taking positions were not really it is about the position -- or not? julie: really it is about the position being asked about. we start if we have relevance. are we willing to walk the talk? we are one of the largest employers in the world. we are very diverse employer. we have been systematically making sure that we have equal pay for equal jobs for about seven to eight years now in terms of robust systems. when we were asked to sign a commitment, by president obama, a commitment, we thought we could sign it -- when we were asked to sign, by president obama, a com

i'm joined by global semiconductor industry lead at accenture. it is great to have you here normally if it were a chip shortage holding intel back it would be a bullish thing but it doesn't seem that's the whole story here >> yes thank you, kelly, for having me. the intel result highlights the importance of the chip shortage around the whole chip set solution it is not just the main processor. you need the rest of the chip in your solution to be able to deliver the products to the end consumer the shortage could be impacted based on multiple factors including the consumers have already bought a lot of pcs earlier during the pandemic so there may be a slowness in demand also that could be impacting the overall situation in addition to the chip shortage >> you know, intel made this really interesting announcement a month or two back when it said it would try to make chips for the automotive industry. the legacy automotive industry, of course, being way behind in semiconductor design and technology you could say on the one hand it is the right posit

morgan chase, or accenture that is having apprenticeships move into the hundreds. for them, they do business in all 50 states. those companies -- those competencies that they help create through all of the branches throughout the country. that is the powerful tool. it's something senator portman said that resonates with me. this is a complex model. as an intermediary, managing all of the various moving elements, including the registration program, which we support so they can register. if the resources are the same, the outcomes will be the same. so i think the next few weeks here you have an incredibly hard job. i will tell you that an investment in workforce to move this forward, i believe will move the country forward. registration, is it a key component question mark at the same time, without the resources for intermediaries, for chambers, four associations that will bring businesses in and basically handhold until they learn the system. we won't be making any difference. in 10 years from now we will have a hearing talking about the problems we have. >> we have
