Accenture India creates an environment that allows employees to upskill as often as technology trends change.

Getting Future Ready

We often hear that the future of work is about lifelong learning. If you speak to the executives and employees of technology company Accenture, it is clear that the company swears by it.

A case in point is Namitha Pishe, an employee in the middle of her second stint with the company. She first joined Accenture in 2006 when she worked on Business Process Management (BPM) technologies. Until about 2011, she had to upskill every few years as newer technologies took the market by storm. First, she trained on IBM tools, followed by Oracle’s and then Pega, a software for customer engagement and digital process automation.

Next, Pishe tried entrepreneurship. She left Accenture to start a technology company, offering customer relationship management solutions to small and medium businesses. The company ran for over four years but it wasn’t going the way she had expected it to. She decided to join Accenture again, which was now working on newer technologies that we all hear about: robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, among others. Pishe rejoined the company in 2016, again in the BPM space.

She had to upskill, yet again. “I had to go through classroom training that Accenture conducted. A lot had changed over the past four years when I wasn’t around,” she says. “I got into a team called the Pega Assets and Innovations. It works on innovations in the BPM space. I currently lead that team,” she adds.

Pishe likes two things about Accenture – flexibility, and the culture of innovation. “There was a lot of flexibility since I got to choose the kind of work I wanted to do. I worked on many BPM technologies,” she says.
