Accidenture has proven to be a hypocratic failure that they have always aspired to be. Useless terrible company. Full of arrogant and incompetent staff -especially at managers level, absolutely useless with the client - had a displeasure of working with them (or them 'working' for me).Remember NHS - 'We will deliver high performance to NHS and UK health system' - and then they dont deliver and completely and utterly fail and pull out with $500 loss - useless company and management. And now with Tiger - they staked everything on this pumpous idiot all their marketing campaign is centered around him and it is now complete and utter failure. Of course thye are not gonna stick with Tiger when did Accidenture ever stick with anything and when did they ever delivered anything of any use to anyone. Completely useless and arogant company!

Client - your post highlights everything that is bad about this forum. It it is pointless and unprofessional. You need to find a better outlet fir your pathetic bitterness before you end up with ulcers.And no I don't work for them and never have.

'more senior' client – what a litlle pathetic idiot you are! you highlight everything that is ridiculous in regards to consulting and actually talking about the truth and free FACT based opinions on this forum. Even your name 'more senior' is pathetic- how do you know that you are 'more senior' that’s laughable and it shows your complexes of inferiority and incompetence. What I said about Accidenture is the TRUTH - did they mess up NHS? - YES They DID! They took the $500m writedown and brought a 'senior' team from US to 'sort this mess out' – I’m quoting Accenture senior manager in here. So don’t preach me about what is unprofessional. Did they mess up by putting all their eggs in one basket with all of their marketing centred around Tiger Woods - yes they did! From BBC:Accenture "had tied everything in their campaign to Tiger Woods," Rick Burton, a professor of sports management at Syracuse University, told the Associated Press. So your contribution here in trying to stifle any factual debate coupled with some humour is absolutely useless and if you are so pathetically in love with Accidenture then Go On Be a Pathetic little dictator that you are and heal your complexes of inadequacy somewhere else. And YES you are also pathetic little liar - Im sure you work/worked for them. To speak the truth - I work for Shell and if I was to be asked I wouldn’t give them any more work – Im sure they’ll get some PMO work somewhere in Shell. We also advise Kuwaiti NOC(KPC) and Accidenture have messed up there as well and they are ditching them for Booz or Deloitte.

That's a lot of pent-up bitterness floating about there fella. Chill out and have a few jars mate. It's Christmas, after all.

Real client - I have read the post again by Client and still fail to see anything that is a) encouraging meaningful debate and b) anything resembling humour.It is just a bitter rant about Accenture and an individual. There are less childish and spiteful ways of stating what you call the TRUTH. Here, let me give you an example.Don't say "Full of arrogant and incompetent staff"Do say "the people I worked with were arrogant and incompetent"So, in conclusion, I stick by my previous post.

Is it just me or does "Real Client" strike anyone else as a really nasty piece of work?

i dunno, he sounds ok to me!

This is great!How long has this anger been building up? Now the dam is breached, how long can you go on for?I bet you could start a fight in an empty room.

What a shocking original post. May well be true for all I know, butThe problem is that I didn't understand a word of it due to the appalling grammar and punctuation, total lack of coherence / clarity, and inability to construct anything approaching a sensible and balanced argument

I think we may be experiencing the writings of someone rejected by Accenture .....

Client - the clues are there as they say.Your statement "had a displeasure of working with them (or them 'working' for me)" gives the game away.You are a low level oik who had some Accenture folks who were brighter than you and brought home to you that you had reached your ceiling. The sad thing for you is they all skipped off to their next project whilst you are stuck there in your mediocrity.

A number of major global firms used woods, I assume the OP won't be shaving with gilette, wearing Nike or playing an EA game ever again either... And regardless of whether he could be good for a firm in the future, I'm sure most firms associated wih him have benefitted over the years.

Anon - you are absolutely right.I find it quite sad at how gleeful some people are at someone else's downfall. Would it be cynical of me to suggest it is partly down to jealousy of his wealth and fame?

Yeah anon and another anon, what a loser - he's just jealous of me.S'cuse me gotta go lace up my Nikes and shave myself real smooooth for the lay-deeees...

Client - where have you gone? I am having a dull day and would appreciate another one of your rants to amuse me.

"Accidenture has proven to be a hypocratic failure..."Personally, I wasn't even aware that consultants took the Hypocratic (sic) oath.EC

EC we sure do. My favourite bit is ...In every client site where I come I will enter only for the good of my clients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they clients or consultants.
