Accenture, a global professional services company with 720,000 employees across more than 120 countries, required a robust Legal function capable of serving its extensive and diverse client base. The challenge was to elevate the performance of all Legal personnel, from contract staff to experienced specialist lawyers, enabling them to act as genuine trusted advisors to the business.
Threshold partnered with Accenture Legal to design and deliver a comprehensive training program. This program included face-to-face sessions, virtual modules, and train-the-trainer workshops. Key components of the program focused on essential skills such as:
The Trusted Advisor as Leader
Executive Presence
The Psychology of Influence
Resilience
Performance Under Pressure
By blending various training methods, Threshold ensured that all Legal staff could access and benefit from the program, regardless of their location or role within the organisation.
Through the targeted training program, Threshold empowered Accenture’s Legal team to function more effectively as trusted advisors. Participants reported enhanced leadership capabilities, improved executive presence, and a deeper understanding of the psychology of influence. The training also bolstered their resilience and ability to perform under pressure, leading to a more capable and confident Legal function that has significantly contributed to Accenture’s overall business success.
