Accenture Case - Reflection

Accenture is one of the most successful management consulting companies and in order for them to keep their world class position, they need to continue improving by finding better ways to serve their clients, offer high security, and increase efficiency in their organization. COBIT is one of the answers for Accenture because COBIT will provide a framework which will bring the standard robustness in the services offered by Accenture.
Though the consultants, Prestige Worldwide suggested adapting COBIT framework internally and getting the workforce certified to match the standards of COBIT, I feel it would be more appropriate for us to isolate certain group within our organization from adapting to COBIT so that we don’t restrain our flexibility and breach our mission, “to serve our clients”. COBIT will change the methodology of delivering the solution; the standards which will be adapted to promote COBIT culture might not always be suitable for our target audience (clients). In such case(s) we will need to have flexibility of having a workforce who is not bound to operate within the COBIT framework.
I do agree that COBIT frame work will aid Accenture to become more efficient and provide an edge among the existing competitors. COBIT can also help us in increased revenue given the market generate demand (solutions based/adaptive on COBIT framework). Being that said I would recommend to adapt COBIT framework, but with strategy which doesn’t constrain our flexibility of delivering solution to our clients.
