Accenture's Talent Reinventors at Learning Live

New York, NY (USA), May 2026 - Only 18% of Organisations Are Getting the AI–Talent Balance Right. The company’s 's study, Talent Reinventors: Delivering Value with and for People in the Age of AI, surveyed C-suite executives and workers across industries and countries. Its central finding? Only 18% of organisations currently qualify as "Talent Reinventors" — those that balance aggressive AI adoption with a genuinely people-first talent strategy.

A gap between ambition and reality.

Despite growing enthusiasm for AI, the research exposes a significant disconnect on the ground. Only 24% of employees report having full access to AI tools, and just 19% work in teams that actively experiment with AI together. Meanwhile, most organisations still rely primarily on external hiring, with limited visibility into internal skills or career pathways, and only 7% use AI-enabled platforms for an internal-first mobility strategy.

From research to practice at Learning Live: AI Edition.

Attendees at Learning Live: AI Edition will have the opportunity to explore these findings first-hand and what they mean for their organizations. In the session Delivering Value with and for People in the Age of AI (13:45–14:30, Commercial Hub 2), we will discuss how leading organisations are connecting talent, learning and AI strategy around a clear definition of value.

The question for L&D leaders.

The Talent Reinventors research identifies six characteristics shared by the organisations getting this right, from intelligent teaming and co-learning to breakthrough leadership and talent mobility. The data makes a compelling case that the gap between leaders and laggards is widening fast. What it means in practice for learning and talent professionals is exactly the conversation the Learning Live session aims to have. In it, the panelists will discuss how leading organisations are keeping up with the pace of AI change, embedding AI into learning strategy, and maintaining human skills and leadership in an AI world.
