Accenture/Verizon

One of the worst projects I was ever exposed to was working with Accenture and Verizon.

They love to work with big dysfunctional corporate or government clients. They enjoy being on endless conference calls while they achieve nothing other than a stream of consulting revenue which frankly is low margin.

I was so excited when I got this client.

I swiftly became very unexcited when reality kicked in and I realized how unmotivated to actually do anything of value these organizations were.

The people in these conversations were not the visionaries that created these companies.

They were employees. Showing up a paycheck.

Extreme size can create business disadvantage in big way. We avoid these kinds of clients now.
