Lifetime Achievement AwardJeanne HarrisAccenture

As an executive research fellow, Accenture’s Jeanne Harris, conceives and leads original research on topics of strategic importance to business executives.

“Increasingly consultants need to distinguish themselves both by the quality of the ideas they bring to their clients and their ability to help them implement those ideas and thereby achieve high performance,” Harris says. “Thought leadership plays an increasingly critical role in the ability of a consulting firm to differentiate itself in the marketplace.”
