At Accenture, the groups and units in which our Consulting people work are structured to suit our clients and the marketplace, and this directly affects your career development. There are two components—industry expertise and specialised skills – that together define your ‘specialty’.
Your specialty determines your main focus of work and the kind of assignments you get, as well as the approaches and technologies that you’re likely to use. From the start, you’ll be expected to develop and expand your skills in your particular field of expertise so that we can continue to deliver original solutions to our clients based on deep insight and solid execution.
We deliver our services and solutions through five industry groups that provide in-depth understanding of particular industries in the marketplace, the business issues affecting them and the technologies that can deliver innovation and results. As your career progresses, you are likely to become highly knowledgeable and experienced in one industry. For more information on our industry groups, visit accenture.co.za.
Every member of the consulting workforce is aligned with one of three Consulting workgroups:
The market increasingly seems to treat skills as commodities, so professionals with specialised knowledge will become increasingly valued.
There are differences and similarities between all three Consulting groups. The overlap is intentional because we need tight integration between our capabilities in order to be successful and help create high-performance businesses.
