How are they still in business?

I’ve either been involved with or adjacent to dozens of Accenture projects at 5 companies over the last 20 years, and not a single one had a satisfactory outcome.

I’ve never heard a single story of “Accenture came in, and we got what we wanted, on time and on budget.” Cases of “we got a minimum viable solution for $100m instead of $30m, and it was four years late” seem more typical.

I've seen some mess-ups in my life, but they started sticking out like a sore thumb long, long, long, long before anywhere close to $30 million was spent on it.

What does a $30 million dollar mess-up look like?
