Partners in Performance

What Partners in Performance does

Partners in Performance is a global management consulting firm that delivers business performance improvement, operational excellence, and transformation programs primarily to asset-intensive industries. Founded in 1996, the firm operates from offices in Australia (Perth/Sydney), South Africa (Johannesburg), the United Kingdom (London), Canada (Toronto), and the United States (New York), and positions itself as a hands-on "partner" rather than traditional advisory, developing plans and embedding execution to ensure value delivery. The company's flagship proprietary asset is the WiredUp Change Management Software Suite, which supports organizational transformation engagements and is also offered as a standalone product on pip.global.

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees from custom enterprise consulting engagements, priced via scope-specific quotes covering strategy, capital optimization, sourcing, and digital initiatives. Its stated functional focus spans EBITDA improvement, sourcing savings, capital project cost reduction, IT cost reduction, and carbon reduction across heavy-asset sectors, with Health/Wellness (Metagenics) cited as a named client story. On August 27, 2024, Accenture (NYSE: ACN) completed the acquisition of Partners in Performance, integrating it into Accenture Strategy and joining a portfolio of acquired consulting firms across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia-Pacific; PIP continues to operate under its brand with Accenture's distribution and capital backing.
