Accenture Institute for High Performance: What Is the Institute?

The very development of this new economic and political landscape, in fact, made it clear that these research groups should no longer be separated. So in September 2008, Accenture merged the two organizations into a new, single entity that is known simply as the Accenture Institute for High Performance.
 
Led by more than 20 Accenture professionals, the newly integrated Institute sheds light on topics central to Accenture’s agenda from offices in Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Delhi and London. The Institute’s network of affiliations with some of the world’s top think tanks, including the World Economic Forum, the Centre for European Reform, Chatham House and the Lisbon Council, enable it to bring insights on the latest global developments to Accenture.
 
Moreover, the Institute collaborates with leading faculty from top business schools, including Babson College, the Indian School of Business, INSEAD, London Business School, the MIT Sloan School of Management, the University of Michigan, the University of Pretoria, the University of Virginia and the Wharton School. The Institute also maintains an active collaboration with Accenture’s thought leadership centers in technology and business processes.
 
Institute researchers write books, articles in top-tier publications (including Accenture’s own Outlook magazine), newsletters and research reports.
