What else makes this 5% so effective? The answer lies in the new skills, redefined roles and boundaryless connections taking shape in the C-suite. With unprecedented access to data, enabled by cloud solutions, executives are discovering powerful ways to lead change within the enterprise and beyond. The nexus: Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs).8 With the skills they bring and the impact they make across all parts of an organization, a new type of CHRO is stepping up to lead their C-suite peers in connecting data, technology and people and cultivating collaboration. Indeed, Accenture has identified how these CHROs, who are central to creating the digital enterprise, are bringing business growth and exceptional human experiences into higher resolution. These skilled and connected “High-Res” CHROs are accelerating continuous reinvention by finding new streams of value in every corner of the organization. 6
