Accenture being useful

• __d 4y ago
  Accenture was brought in to justify the decision that was already made to kill the project, because the internal management didn't have the confidence to make and sell their own decisions. And this isn't the first time. A few years ago, ASX ran a massive project to replace the matching engines for all their exchanges. After burning a large pile of money, it too blew up, and they abandoned the whole idea. But everyone involved fails up and out with their careers and bonuses intact, so ... she'll be right, mate. No worries.

  Of course Accenture didn't like it. It was internally managed with no involvement of them or a peer consultancy and thus must be condemned with fire, unsuccessful or not. Expect Accenture and those peers to be first in line for slices of future ASX pies.
