SCOOPS Session Thursday, January 22, 2004 Hello, My name is Ian Russell and a Manager out of our Chicago office (offer a brief background on yourself) SCOOPS Session Thursday, January 22, 2004 campusconnection.accenture.com

Agenda Introduction About Accenture & Consulting The Consulting Analyst Characteristics & What We Look For I’ll begin with an overview of Accenture – our business, industries and culture that makes us who we are – as well as what consulting is in general. Then I’ll describe the role of the consulting analyst and try to depict a day in the life for you. I’ll give you an idea of the continuous training and learning that is part if our everyday environment. After that, we will take a look at some of the characteristics we are looking for in an analyst and some that you may be seeking in a company to make sure it is a good fit. I will also go into a little more detail on what we are particularly seeking in our consulting analysts. TURN SLIDE

Accenture in a Nutshell Global management consulting and technology services company 80,000 people, 47 countries US$11.6 billion Expertise: Consulting Technology Outsourcing Alliances Accenture is much more than a consulting company. We have deep industry expertise and broad global resources. Point out Consulting – consulting is at the core of our business and opportunities for consulting entry-level analysts will be the emphasis of our discussion today. Before we go into detail about consulting, here is a brief description of other equally important areas of our expertise. Technology – we are a leader in the technology marketplace. We develop and implement cutting-edge technology on a daily basis. Outsourcing – we enter into long-term relationships with our clients to transform, manage and continuously improve their critical business processes, such as finance & accounting, logistics and information technology. Alliances – central to our strategy, our client service business, and the way we deliver value to our clients. We have approx. 100 relationships with established and early-stage companies whose capabilities complement our own. TURN SLIDE

Consulting – the Ins and Outs Why do companies hire consultants? Specialized experience not available in-house Assign resources to yield greatest value Objective assessment of business operations and strategy What do consultants do? Listen Investigate Analyze Recommend Implement Collaborate with our clients to not only innovate but execute and create tangible value. Let’s take a closer look at consulting – why companies hire consultants and what consultants actually do… TURN SLIDE

Our Unique, Dynamic Culture Variety of challenging and interesting work Creative, collaborative teams Flexible work environment Diverse, inclusive culture Continuous learning Inspiring leadership Accenture has a unique culture that thrives on the people that make us who we are. The list of positive characteristics about our culture is endless, however, here are a few that try to get the meaning across.   Variety of challenging and interesting work that makes an impact Creative, collaborative teams on every assignment. Teamwork is the fabric of our culture. Flexible work options could include things like our Flexible Fly-Back Policy, Part-time Job Sharing, Flextime, Modified or Compressed Work Weeks, and Telecommuting that help employees balance careers and personal lives Diverse, inclusive culture from the top down. Mention Chief Diversity Officer, diversity committees and several US diversity programs Continuous learning environment where formal and informal training is basically a mouse click away Inspiring leadership always available to share ideas and mentor TURN SLIDE  

The Consulting Analyst Roles and responsibilities: Build industry skills Develop technology-based solutions Analyze, design and implement business process improvements Define user requirements Gain and specialize skills in: business process design business validation concepts testing and quality assurance system building concepts programming and development So how does the consulting entry-level analyst fit in? Consulting analysts usually work on one client engagement at a time right at the client site, alongside other people at their organization. The team size varies based on the project but traditionally consists of a client Partner lead and other consultant/manager level people. Responsibilities can vary across client engagements. On any given day, an analyst may expect to build and leverage skills like those seen on this slide. Point out We don’t require that individuals have technical experience, but an interest. Our training will help them get up to speed. Technical skills are truly the building block in an analyst’s career development. They need to have a solid understanding of how a system is constructed, right down to the programming and coding. This is turn significantly helps them down the road in doing a better job designing a system and then, ultimately, actually managing the development of a system. So, these technical skills are nurtured in your first few years and will provide a solid platform for future performance and development. TURN SLIDE

This course is the first in a curriculum designed to provide the support necessary for success in our company, particularly on your first engagements. Upon completion, you are then scheduled to attend the Core Analyst School at the Center for Professional Education in St. Charles, Illinois. This course is designed to simulate a client engagement.
