Complexity Optimization

The Accenture Complexity Optimization Solution addresses the growing and costly problems of complex product portfolios and multi-faceted operations for organizations striving to become high-performance entities. It leverages unique, patented methods to quantify organizational complexity - product / process / organizational - and addresses complexity at the intersection of process and product offering, to unlock hidden value. Essentially, the Complexity Optimization solution ensures the right level of complexity (variety) is delivered to customers.

Accenture enhanced its long-standing operations and strategy expertise with the 2007 acquisition of George Group, a recognized market leader in process, operational and business transformation, and innovation strategy, whose capabilities and offerings form the foundation of this new practice.

We leverage unique approaches to identify and drive out complexity from client offerings, processes, networks, and organizations by addressing the often missed space where products, processes, and functions interact. We work with clients to help identify breakthrough improvements through our complexity diagnostics. We provide executive teams with a fresh perspective and help break through the ceiling of function improvement.

Our teams help clients with complex product portfolios and multifaceted operations by better quantifying the organizational costs of complexity and by gaining new insights on where and how to remove value-destroying complexity from portfolios, products, services or processes.
