Anyone able to explain the move to make UKI > UKIA and to include Africa by Accenture ? Genuinely intrigued by this decision and does that mean they’re now considered near shore

South Africa and the UK have clients headquartered in both, there's a good connection for growing more business. It's a good move. Also with time zones and not having Africa in Growth Markets it provides more sensible connections.

So Accenture lumped Africa in with the UK & Ireland for their regional split? Am I understanding this correctly? 😂

Yes, harking back to the empire

SM1… hardly

It was announced on 5 May by Leo and Jean-Marc - Middle East now is part of Europe as EMEA. Africa joining UKI as UKIA, according to the comms, there is a shared focus on clients in mining, consumer goods, telcos and banking…

Yes all of the mining and consumer goods companies in the UK & Ireland and all of the banks and telcos in Africa. Wait…

What offices do we have in Africa? I think South Africa. Any others?

UKI is offensive, at least put an & between ffs

At the same time some companies have Europe and EEMEA as 2 regions.. 🙃

Almost all companies have EMEA as market and I think instead of bashing all decisions we should appreciate a few good ones (amongst many bad decisions)

No one is bashing, don’t be so negative. Was a genuine question as to the business benefits…

Sorta like having ANZK but Japan does its own thing.

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX.

Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.
