This is so wrong. The bulk of Accenture revenues don't come from PowerPoint consulting engagements (a typical strategy consulting trope), they have arms that compete with MBB and big for these engagements but these are like 500k-1m in size. The big money comes tech consulting and implementations, this is F500 companies upgrading SAP worldwide or and old non-tech company or government needing at app or moving infra to the cloud, now these engagements are 10-50m+. These are needed every 5-6 years when SAP or Oracle upgrades their ERP. The this is how Accenture is a 100bn company. They don't have the issues of the partnership structure other professional services companies have and are a shareholder darling.

What, Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm?!? Is it warships or aeroplanes that Accenture builds nowadays?
