Accenture’s Consulting Business Model
Accenture Plc, the world’s largest IT services company by revenue, is a good example of the importance of consulting in driving revenue growth. The company gets half of its revenue from its consulting business.
“During my conversations with clients, I see a constant struggle to realise business value while managing the technology disruption. They constantly look to master the art of envisioning, responding, adapting, and maintaining change momentum. It is necessitating our clients to seek partners, who can add significant insights and capabilities to help them drive the change and deliver sustained success,” said Joshi.
