  For the fifth straight year, Accenture sponsored the BusinessWeek 50 Forum on October 30, 2008, in New York City. The BusinessWeek 50 ranks the top 50 successful companies of the S&P 500. These companies represent stellar performers that consistently outperform their competitors based on business growth, high performance and value creation. The theme of the 2008 event was Pursuing High Performance.
 
Leaders from some of the BusinessWeek 50 companies joined Accenture Chairman & CEO Bill Green to discuss how key building blocks contribute to outperforming competitors over time and the importance of operating on a set of core values. Read the BusinessWeek 50 Forum Executive Overview:
