Accenture's core competency is getting governments (and large companies) to hand over large sums of money. Seems like a good fit.
- yen223 3y agoThat's what I don't understand, why would they spend all that money on Udacity, rather than spending it on champagne and Ferraris for senior officials? Where's the ROI for Udacity?
- lmm 3y agoUdacity seems like the kind of thing governments and large companies would love to pay large sums of money to; it's something you can point to to say you're doing something good, which ultimately increases the champagne-and-Ferrari budget. So there's a synergy there.
