What has been your best/most interesting experience working with Accenture?
Accenture provides an environment that allows me to continuously expand my professional development through various training offerings, Knowledge Community, and global networks within the company and clients. I have been given opportunities to develop myself professionally. I don’t have to worry when given new assignment for which I don’t have experience before because the company’s knowledge resources will enable me upgrade my skills.

Accenture provides the opportunity to see the world in wider perspective. I’ve been given the opportunity to learn and respect different cultures and meet different people. This has enriched my life experience which I believe will help me to be a better person.

What do you consider your biggest success at Accenture?
a. During my assignment as a Regional Data Conversion Lead in a Global Roll-out SAP Implementation project, my proud moment was when my team was successfully contributing to the system Go-Live for several countries at the same time. I’m proud with my team’s ability and hard works to make this happen

b. When I led Cutover activities in a country deployment of Global SAP Roll-out Implementation. The System Cutover went well and the system went Live earlier than the targeted date.

c. When I led Supply Chain Template Team to accomplish a 100-day Template Packaging development. It was something many people thought would be very challenging to do, looking at the scope, resource and timeline. Nevertheless, the packages were delivered on-time and accepted by client.

What is something you have learned in the past year?

• The best way to solve a problem is not by taking it to self to handle it, but working it out with the team
• High Performance can only be achieved by working together with the team…as a team.
• Share our knowledge to our team anytime anywhere is a proven weapon to get them empowered and maximize team performance.
• Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork
