Our guest today is Nicole Scully, a strategy manager in Accenture.
You are very welcome to the podcast Nicole, could you tell us a little about yourself and consulting in Accenture?
For someone starting out, could you sketch the learning journey to become a consultant?
Can you talk about the challenges you’ve faced working in a mixed/remote environment?
What does your ideal client organisation look like?
How do you maintain a healthy corporate culture, both internally and with clients?
What is your go-to workshop or format for gathering customer requirements?
Are you seeing a demand for “Design Thinking” from clients and partners? Is it a fad or a paradigm shift?
Has Agile finally solved the project lifecycle problem or is there always “crunch” at the end?
Does the start-up motto of "fail fast and fail forward" really apply in a corporate environment?
An area we haven't covered is when consultants need to troubleshoot, advise and perhaps mediate some pre-existing client-supplier relationships...
And finally what innovations do you see making a big impact in the near future?
On that note, thank you, we’ll wrap up there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences today.
