🌿🐂 What do Highland cattle and satellites have in common? We've partnered with FREE Nature to support their mission of restoring biodiversity through rewilding. Instead of mowing, they use Highland cattle to manage floodplains creating healthier, more vibrant ecosystems. And they've challenged us to enhance this process with technology. Enter satellite imagery and AI-based classification models. Together, we created a remote sensing app that uses satellite data and on-the-ground validation to classify vegetation, track changes, and optimize herd and floodplain management. A powerful example of what’s possible when industry expertise meets environmental passion! We’re proud to support this innovative approach through our Accenture Industry X teams and our DoGood Foundation, showing that digital tools can be a catalyst for global conservation efforts. Let’s rethink how we restore nature: smarter, together 🌍 Curious to learn more?

This week, our Gender Network hosted a inspiring session about Authentic Leadership—a powerful reminder that leadership is not confined to titles or positions but is a quality that resides within each of us. We were honored to have Uruel Wernars as a guest speaker from 'Lead Through Inspiration", deliver thought-provoking insights on leading with compassion, individuality, and inclusivity. His metaphor of an inclusive organization as a puzzle – where every piece matters – truly resonated. In our panel and group discussions, we explored what it means to grow into leadership and which human qualities remain essential in an AI-driven world: respect, communication, trust, and vision. Let’s continue to lead authentically and drive meaningful change.

It's been a packed month of June! We kicked off the summer with Julie Sweet at our Amsterdam office, planning for the next fiscal year, discussing healthcare value chain at #HLTHEuropeand hosting a Reinvention Experience for clients.

Text: "Embracing change with new perspectives. When I moved from Afghanistan to the Netherlands, I had to start my whole life and career from scratch. I have met so many great people and landed a job within an amazing team that supports me, and I am learning a lot being part of this team. This experience has given me a new perspective and new goals, reinforcing my belief." Image 3: White slide with a blue and purple gradient framing. Text: "Confidence unlocks creativity. Believe in yourself and don’t be afraid to be yourself. Because if you do not believe in yourself, nobody else will believe in you, and that has a big influence on your self-esteem, which prevents you from sharing your thoughts and being creative." Image 4: White slide with a blue and purple gradient framing. Text: "Success through connection. Communication and networking are key to success. As a tech student and recent graduate, it is very important to build that network or to have that network already when you are graduating. Your community and network can help accelerate your career, help you overcome challenges, and remind you that you’re not alone in your journey."
