Joost de Haas (Lead for Strategy Consulting at Accenture Netherlands) just launched the High Performance Business 2009 research: Winning in the downturn – How AEX companies are positioned for the upturn. A great research report is the outcome, having used the methodology of the Accenture Institute for High Performance for a local relevant study.
In 2008, Accenture published a report entitled Building on High Performance that showed that none of the companies listed in the AEX index ranks as a High Performance Business—a fact that was reflected in the overall underperformance of the AEX compared to other major indices.
This year, we see a very different economic climate, influencing the key questions to explore in this research: How well are AEX companies positioned to deal with the economic crisis? How much risk are they exposed to in the short term? Can they emerge as winners in the long term? And what can they learn from global high performers? It is these questions – and related ones – that Accenture explores and tries to answer in the present report.
