Culture is built by the connections we build as a community and our experiences as individuals: the integrity and respect we have for each other, our communication and teamwork, and the work we put into the world.
One benefit of becoming Accenture Song is that we are all creating this destination together.

This new destination is about connecting and leveraging our collective powers that currently exist in individual silos.
Across Accenture, there are many opportunities to belong, where and how works for you: within Accenture Song, or where you are located, your practice, your client team, or your identified community.
We believe there is no other place that has as much opportunity for you to be bold and ambitious, curious and imaginative, collaborative and inclusive, and empathetically human. In the coming months, you will be invited to help shape the culture of Accenture Song.

Acquired brands are retired in 18 months or less unless there is a specific strategic business case for not doing so.
Every investment Accenture makes is an investment in our clients’ future. We acquire companies to scale talent, broaden our skills and capabilities, or provide expertise in a strategic area or industry—as a key engine to drive innovation and growth. We expect to continue investing in strategic acquisitions in this way where it makes sense.
Over the next months, leaders of your brand will be working closely with global leadership and partners across Market Units, CIO, M+C, Legal teams and more to officially migrate brands.
This includes working with you and your leadership to author this new brand destination.
