Optimize the performance of our new and distinct workforces by providing appropriate and cost effective workplaces to support our business needs. We anticipate change from many influences: flexibility is a backbone for our facility strategy.
• Emerging technologies are changing how and where we work, and influence how we deliver support services. These technologies will further enable dynamic, flexible and productive work from locations outside of traditional Accenture offices. Future real estate commitments require more flexibility to support rapid shifts in demand.
• Our intent is to have strong communities of people in highly utilized, vibrant offices that are linked to other Accenture work locations and to client-sites, shared facilities and remote locations including the home.

Context and Opportunity
Real estate demands
• Re-shaping of the organizational pyramid and growth in key businesses in certain geographies require us to provide new real estate in new locations, and scale back existing fixed commitments in many existing locations. • Employees are seeking a culture that fosters community, empowerment and accessibility. Our workplace responses need to balance office-based work with the increasing mobility and virtual nature of work. Geographic and cultural differences may warrant unique responses.
Purpose
Why a new Workplace Blueprint?
