As #Accenture’s revenue continues to grow, so does the share of revenue from its top 10 #partners, reducing the share of sales from the rest of its #alliance partners. With Accenture’s top 10 alliance partners helping to generate close to 50% of the company’s total sales, it remains to be seen whether Accenture will be able to retain its other partner relationships in the long term. https://hubs.ly/Q02R0Fm-0

Accenture's recent Q4 and full-year fiscal 2024 results offer some interesting insights. Accenture delivered solid performance, with $65 billion in revenue for FY'24, reflecting 2% growth in local currency.  What caught my attention was their $3 billion in new GenAI bookings, including $1 billion in Q4 alone.  The rapid growth in AI-related business could be a leading indicator for the tech sector. Their adjusted operating margin expanded by 10 basis points, showing disciplined cost management.  With $8.6 billion in free cash flow, Accenture remains financially robust.  The 15% increase in quarterly dividend to $1.48 per share is also noteworthy for income-focused investors. Looking ahead, Accenture's FY 2025 guidance of 3% to 6% revenue growth in local currency suggests cautious optimism.  As always, it's important to consider how such projections from major players might influence market sentiment and sector performance in the coming quarters.

Having just completed two weeks in Accenture, it is amazing to see its exceptional transformation capabilities, blending deep industry expertise, cutting-edge technology, and innovative strategies to drive comprehensive, scalable, and sustainable change across organisations globally. In my first post, post-joining, I am attaching a research report from Accenture that offers insights into how organisations can reinvent operations using the right combination of technology, data, people, and partnerships. Transformation isn't a one-time effort; businesses should continually reinvent all areas to better manage change. High levels of operations maturity are key to successful reinvention strategies. Our research indicates that more organisations are achieving higher operational maturity, unlocking new performance levels. However, a gap is widening between these "operations reinventors" and those delaying operational investments. To stay competitive, organisations are increasingly leveraging strategic managed services. These services enable faster digitisation, enhance business resilience, and open new growth opportunities by providing access to talent, expertise, and leading technology. Enjoy reading cutting edge research from us.

Happy one year at PwC! I can't believe how quickly time has flown since I joined the Big Four. For some gentle reading and hopefully some inspiration, here are my five highlights from my time at PwC Portugal PwC: 🌐 Building Connections. From Oracle Cloud Worlds to strategy days, these experiences have allowed me to better connect with leaders, build business relationships, and share my passion for collaboration, transformation, and innovation. Bouncing off ideas and sharing best practices realy makes a difference when you are delivering the best solutions in the market.  🌟 EMEA Alliances Impact Center. Working in this hub feels like being part of a startup within a big firm. I'm so grateful to be surrounded by some of the brightest minds, not just on the Oracle alliance, but across various teams and territories. The diversity in backgrounds, cultures, skills, and experiences constantly teaches me new things and helps me grow both personally and professionally.  🤝 Cross-Border Relationships. One of the most rewarding parts of my role has been building connections with my colleagues in territories across borders. Getting to know people, discovering our common goals, and driving opportunities that benefit us mutually has been an eye-opener. It’s amazing to see the power of collaboration across borders in action.  📍 EMEA Alliances Summit. The summit in Budapest was a true highlight of my year! Meeting many of my PwC colleagues face-to-face for the first time and coming together was incredibly stimulating. Moderating a panel discussion with leaders like Cormac Watters, Robin McBurnie, and Lars Leemhorst was a fantastic experience. I loved diving into those juicy questions! 🎤  💪 Empowerment and Mentorship. I'm deeply inspired by the incredible female leaders I've connected with, such as Nicola Quincey, Alexis Hall, Nicole Knott, Britta Gross, Eva De Vries Marcia Brookey, MA, APR Lucy Mower, among others. Their mentorship and collaboration have been invaluable, and I’m so grateful for their guidance and support. It's been a thrilling year, and above all, I am deeply grateful for every moment. I can't wait to see what the next year brings! 😊  #PwC #Oracle #Collaboration #Innovation #Empowerment #Leadership #Mentorship #Diversity #Transformation
