Intel will outsource marketing to Accenture and AI, laying off many of its own workers

[Daniel Nenni]

Is serving on the board where you only attend a meeting every other month the same as working at a company?

For Intel not even close. It could take months for Lip-Bu to truly understand what he has signed up for. Let's call it the honeymoon period, 6-12 months.

I don't think it is particular hard to do. You first need to understand the tasks that Intel used to carry. Then automate according to tasks. Accenture does not need to do everything. It can rely on salesforce and various other agents to make it work.

The objective is to reduce number of headcounts, not really about full automation.

I am sure Accenture has already done similar things for other companies.

You mention Saleforce , another drain on companies resources.

Sounds like Intel gonna be paying out of money to folk doing very little

I don't know their operations. Companies took those services for economic reasons which is the basis of the current AI trend.

So you are saying Lip-Bu is stupid? Kind of sounds like it. Clearly you do not know him.

Just hope they don't hand over the main products marketing to Accenture that would be the worse thing to do.
