Our High Performance
Business research
How Accenture defines business performance
What does high performance
mean? At Accenture, we have been
researching this question and coming
up with definitive answers regarding
business performance since 2003.
We have studied more than 6,000
companies, across 36 industry
segments and six business functions. A
survey by the Harvard Business Review
recognized this research as one of the
10 most notable initiatives in the field
during the past quarter century.
Accentures definition of high
performance is a companys longterm ability to out-perform peers
across industry and economic cycles
and generations of leadership, as
measured by widely accepted
financial metrics.
Accentures patented high
performance business research
program comprises two key
components to help organizations
move from their current state to
ultimately achieve high performance:
First, we seek to understand
and describe high performance. Our
research focuses on determining
high performance characteristics,
capabilities and drivers.
Second, we aim to help
organizations on their quest to attain
high performance, guiding them
to apply solutions and transform
themselves.
call this common ground "competitive
essence. While many companies
compete on the basis of a single point
of differentiation, the competitive
essence of high performers is almost
always achieved through the balance,
alignment and renewal of what we
have identified as the three building
blocks of high performance:
market focus and position
distinctive capabilities
performance anatomy.
After analyzing the performance
of leading companies, we found
a pattern among high performing
companiesattributes of excellence
that can transcend and unite
otherwise disparate organizations. We

Outsourcing, a valuable strategy
Accenture was ranked No. 1 on
the International Association
of Outsourcing Professionals
(IAOP) 2010 Global Outsourcing
100 list for the third consecutive
year (2008-2010).
Outsourcing is a valuable strategy
in a market where there are drivers
for rapid change, stress, disruption,
merger and acquisition activity and
other fluctuations. Outsourcing
allows organizations to focus on
their core business, concentrate
resources on areas that differentiate
them from the competition and add
the most value, and better adapt to
fluctuating demand.
Clients need outsourcing suppliers
with an established, comprehensive
global reach, breadth of capability,
flexibility and scale. And regardless
of what services they pursue, more
clients are choosing to bundle services
together to maximize the efficiency of
the corporate back office.
Our experience and global capabilities
make us a world leader in application
outsourcing, infrastructure
outsourcing, business process
outsourcing and bundled outsourcing.
A critical component of our global
delivery capability is our Global
Delivery Network, which comprises
local Accenture professionals working
at client sites around the world
as well as more than 50 delivery
centersfacilities where teams of
Accenture industry, business-process
and technology professionals use
proven assets to create and deliver
business and technology solutions for
clients. Our delivery centers improve
the efficiency of our engagement teams
through the reuse of processes, solution
designs, infrastructure and software
and by leveraging the experience of
delivery center professionals.
We opened our first global delivery
center in 1985 in Manila. With more
than 116,000 people in our Global
Delivery Network offering 24x7 services
to clients in more than 10 languages
from more than 50 locations, we
believe it to be the largest such network
in the world.
