Accenture CHRO Jill Smart sets out to run a half marathon and spend some time paying it forward
By Jill Smart
My personal goal for the upcoming year is to train and run another half marathon. I’m a big runner, and last year I ran a half marathon for the first time in years. It felt great, and I’m looking forward to doing it again—and always improving my time, of course.
My three overall objectives for Accenture Human Resources (HR) in the next year are to:
1. Grow Accenture;
2. Deliver a compelling career experience; and
3. Be a world-class HR organization.
These goals align with Accenture’s business strategy, and they guide the strategic priorities my team and I will focus on throughout the coming year. One such priority is to deliver innovation through digital and social collaboration.
For my career, I plan to make more time to mentor, to give back and to pay it forward, particularly with high-potential women who are trying to manage so many dimensions of their lives.
