Learning from Tigers Accenture High Performance Business Research

In 2003, Accenture launched an unprecedented research study to empirically determine the key ingredients of a high-performance business. Thus far, over 6,000 companies have been studied, including more than 500 that meet our criteria as high performers.

Accenture defines a high-performance business as one that effectively balances current needs and future opportunities. They consistently outperform peers in revenue, profit growth and total return to shareholders. And they sustain their superiority across time, business cycles, industry disruptions and changes in leadership.
