It's interesting hat 2 big time players at McK jumped to Accenture M & A in the last couple of monthes. It shows that Acccenture is for real and stepping up in all parts of its business.
We sell "change." Strat is just one part of it, but we are improving in this area more and more each day.
Don't downplay Accenture thought because we try to implement that thought afterwards - unlike the "pure" strat folks that just make pretty ppt decks and leave. They all are trying to implement now (hiring techies) -- e.g. BTO at Mck-- , but can't get the job done.

Here's something I found on the McK board on Vault:
"I would argue that AC strat stands at "tier 1.5." AC is strong. Clearly not as well recognized for strat as McK/Bain/BCG, but probably the equal of other "traditional" players like Booz Allen. Personally, I think AC strat blows away most others outside the "traditional" firms ... dominates the strat practices in the Big 5, and generally dominates boutiques."
This was written late last year, before AC changed its name to Accenture. Accenture really is not a Big 5 firm any more. It's moved up the world. The Andersen folks over at AA/AW have their own consulting attempt, so you might consider that firm the 5th of the Big 5.
