#65 How AI is transforming how leaders are developed in Accenture with Steve Williams

In this episode of Advanced Executive Leadership, I’m joined by Steve Williams, Director for Learning and Leadership Development at Accenture. Steve shares how AI is revolutionising leadership development at scale—from creating AI-powered digital coaches and immersive simulations to embedding generative AI into real-time client interactions.

Steve is a passionate Learning and Leadership Development leader who has held several strategic learning roles across a 25-year career. He is currently responsible for the strategic direction and delivery of learning and leadership programs for 80K+ employees in Accenture across several business areas.  He is focused on helping people grow the skills and behaviours that matter, by engaging them with training experiences relevant to their work, and learning through their work. In Accenture we’re exploring deeply how AI and digital tools will transform learning as we know it.
