Strategy Consulting at Accenture is unusual for many different reasons. Rather than pure theorising, we focus on creating solutions that deliver real and lasting benefit to client businesses.

It means that Accenture Strategy Consultants are not just involved in the conception of a strategy; by watching, monitoring and measuring the progress of the project, they are able to modify their thinking and adapt to commercial realities to make sure the solution works.


In terms of size, our UK Strategy Consulting practice on its own is the equivalent of an entire boutique firm. There are over 300 consultants focusing on client partnership, strategic understanding, innovative solutions and effective delivery. They are confronting large, complex issues, by dealing with ambiguity and asking tough questions, and by showing that strategic thinking can drive high performance.

They don’t sit in an ivory tower: by working alongside colleagues from different specialist areas and from different corners of the globe, there is an industry and commercial value that is unusual in strategy circles.

In fact, we prefer to use the term ‘strategic’ to describe what we do. Because ultimately we are here to offer strategic thinking to help clients tackle the biggest issues facing them now and way into the future. It is not strategy for strategy’s sake; our work comes from an understanding of the strategic aims of a business and how we can make them a living and breathing reality.

For you, this will prove intellectually and professionally demanding. This will be tempered by real peer group support – we’re not an ego business – and we will invest time and resources into your career and development. Many Strategy Consultants have gone on to leading roles within Accenture and within industry.
