On one side of the matrix were strategic business units (SBUs) which did research and development, manufacturing, product management, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sales. On the other side were regional business units (RBUs) which led distribution, customer service, and marketing. This structure allowed for faster decision making based on changing conditions in each region, while local autonomy improved motivation and incentive.

    There are two key elements to the success of Accenture’s knowledge management system: (1) clear benefits and (2) learning to share. Accenture aims for a 'win-win' situation where all participants benefit from knowledge management.

    Accenture employees are trained how to navigate the Knowledge Exchange system, to find what they are looking for, and make contributions.
