In this episode of \u201cDigital Now,\u201d Penelope Prett, the chief information, data and analytics officer at global professional services company Accenture, explains why her tech-savvy workforce, one of the largest in the world, expects tech to be not just ready to go at the point of service and accessible from everywhere, but also to be a delightful experience that supports engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that\u2019s great about it is when you have a technology-literate population \u2026 they are willing to play with you,\u201d she says. \u201cSo you can try new things, you can push the edge of the envelope. There\u2019s a much higher tolerance for new things, for failure and for learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital Now\u201d is a video series hosted by Andrew Wilson, chief digital officer at Microsoft, who invites friends and industry leaders inside and outside of Microsoft to share how they are tackling digital and business transformation, and explores themes like the future of work, security, artificial intelligence, and the democratization of code and data.<\/p>\n

Prett and Wilson also discuss how the democratization of technology presents new opportunities for business growth, but still needs guardrails in place to address security and usability. At Accenture, says Prett, democratization is celebrated, but user experience, data and security will always remain under the protection of the IT organization.<\/p>\n
