The ability to innovate lies at the heart of success in business today—and in the future. Accenture’s Consulting professionals work closely with our clients to help them change the way they do business in order to achieve high performance. Our consultants are smart, with deep specialist knowledge in business, technical and functional areas—but more importantly they know how to create global teams that will pull together the skills and talents they need to meet the client’s needs. Since many of the world’s leading companies are our clients, we need people who are able to challenge conventional thought, offer unique perspectives and conceive more innovative solutions for our clients. With technology-led innovation at the heart of our business, you’ll be able to build and expand your skills to a higher level than virtually anywhere else. Every member of the Consulting workforce is aligned with one of three consulting workgroups: Management Consulting, Systems Integration Consulting or Technology Consulting. Depending on career goals and business need, individuals may be given the option of aligning with, and eventually being deployed solely to, a single industry group, where they can focus on selling our solutions and managing client relationships. Some people who come to us with significant industry experience are deployed straight to an Operating Group (covering major business industries) where they will continue to deepen their expertise in this sector. This provides our people with greater opportunities to build market-relevant skills in both transferable and specialist areas. Click here to read more about the career path of a consultant.
