Haha not true. The scope of CM in H&PS is bigger than other service groups actually

Don’t understand why tech is involved and we also need to know the test scripts and try out the testing. Is this cos it’s aligned to functional consulting? Then what do industry consulting people do then? So the management consulting in Accenture is not like those management consulting in MBB or tier 3? Is big 4 mgmt consulting same as acn too?

If you are doing projects that directly impacts "growth", "revenue" "p&l" chances are you could be doing similar projects as MBB and certain Big 4 strategy arms

Yea true but given they are aligned to a particular service group.

Really? Care to share more? Like typically what roles and why are the scope bigger tho? I mean the projects tend to have way more developers and BAs, so thought they have a bigger scope and more opportunities to shine and be promoted.

How do we tell which kind of projects fits the above mentioned? Do you have any recommendations on the kind words projects and clients?

If you were to notice, CM is not a compulsory thing in all projects. Generally only bigger projects with more budget will have CM.

You should know which service groups usually have the bigger projects so I shall not dwell so much into it.

The whole point of CM is to guide the users through the transition to a new system. With more budget allocated, you have more resources dedicated to create content to prepare the users through change. This can be in the form of workshops, videos and even newsletters.

In addition, we also do change impact assessment to identify the benefits and impact that you are bringing to an organisation. Even after go live, there will still be change management efforts on the ground to gauge the satisfaction levels and to measure the improvements to a business.

I joined 3 years ago as a consulting development analyst and started off in my first few projects as change practitioner, I do have one project that extended me with a business analyst role after I’m done with the change mgmt aspect. I do have joined projects holding business strategy analyst role as well. So in short, consulting isn’t just change management, it will be really dumb to think just that.
More so of your interest, what skills you have, there many who wants to do consulting but aren’t recruited or either leave halfway too.

Would you share what’s your deliverable as a business strategy analyst?

From what I know, each project usually the CM team is already quite small, so naturally! Also Im not too sure on this but I think HR can highlight your profile to projects you prefer also but at the end of the day it's up to the team leads if they think you're suitable. Poor HR always kenna hate

Yes that’s true, but if you’re interested can try to switch around when you’re still an analyst, because once you move on to higher levels it’s almost impossible for you to jump to another function. Yes, projects you’ll realise tend to have at lesser consulting people, many are from tech side. Technically they don’t need that many consulting people in a project (this varies depending on the type of project too), there are in fact certain projects with way more consulting people.

I’m not too sure if it’s the same for all but at least for myself and another analyst, we actually had interviews with the managing director of S&C or rather he’s the pod lead for change management. I believe he’s the one who have the biggest and final stamp of approval for your offer for a consulting analyst position.

Lmao dumb, how is acn even on the same level comparable to FAANG. Instead of calling yourselves technology people, call yourself implementation worker lah. Use the right term for the right job. If you’re that good in tech, why didn’t end up in FAANG lol, cos not qualified lo, simple as that. So don’t be so proud, head in the clouds when you’re nothing at all in the tech world. Suck.

we don’t think it’s consulting, it’s a part of T&O which is consulting and part of S&C. Again as many have said, change mgmt is just one tiny part of consulting. There’s really people who enjoy doing change management projects, there’s also some who doesn’t and that’s when they try on different roles in projects to determine which type of work do they enjoy. But if you’re looking to go on to MBB or consulting for a long term career, I would say holding the consulting role itself gives you a better advantage than holding a BA or tech role.

Yes and you’re right, it’s definitely good to focus on progressing up the level. No one here is saying which pod or which role is better than the other, but I guess why both sides are unhappy is that well indeed consulting is more competitive to get into than tech roles. As a mc myself, I do look up to the tech analysts and tech consultants, at the end of the day, it’s more on the what your own preference is.
