That's what I don't understand, why would they spend all that money on Udacity, rather than spending it on champagne and Ferraris for senior officials? Where's the ROI for Udacity?
Udacity seems like the kind of thing governments and large companies would love to pay large sums of money to; it's something you can point to to say you're doing something good, which ultimately increases the champagne-and-Ferrari budget. So there's a synergy there.
Accenture's core competency is getting governments (and large companies) to hand over large sums of money. Seems like a good fit.
