NEW,YORK and PALO ALTO; FEBRUARY 27th, 2025 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has invested in Workhelix, a technology-enabled services firm focusing on optimizing organizational investments in AI.
This investment is intended to incorporate Workhelix’s capabilities into Accenture LearnVantage to improve learning and instructional services for workforce reskilling and upskilling in data and AI.
According to an Accenture Pulse of Change survey, 86% of C-suite leaders intend to spend more on generative AI, but only 35% of employees recognize its potential value. With over 2000 generative
AI projects across the globe, Accenture has unique knowledge of how AI is impacting roles and processes in different industries.

After studying more than 20,000 jobs and 300,000 tasks with over 450 million workplace data points, Workhelix provides actionable detailed plans for aligning teams and prioritizing for decisions.

Embedding Workhelix’s capabilities in Accenture LearnVantage will allow companies to identify specific tasks and positions that can be enhanced with generative AI and develop detailed plans to monitor progress against objectives.
“Generative AI is guiding and transforming how we perform our tasks,”
Claims Kishore Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage.
“Every organization must have a vision to transform the workforce, evolve the learning process, and help the employees flourish in the generative AI environment. Our investment and collaboration with Workhelix will extend Accenture’s existing investment in talent transformation and role-based skills coverage, establishing a system that provides tailored learning for technology and non-technology users alike.”
“Accenture has a storied history of helping companies harness change through AI,”
Workhelix Co-founder and CEO James Milin said.
“We are excited to partner with Accenture to drive that change with data science and discipline. In 2035, the workforce and economy will be radically different than it is now.”
