0150 - Design Thinking Strategy with Nicole Scully


Listen Later

Hosts: Franziska Freidel and Kate Nolan

Our guest today is Nicole Scully, a strategy manager in Accenture.

You are very welcome to the podcast Nicole, could you tell us a little about yourself and consulting in Accenture?


For someone starting out, could you sketch the learning journey to become a consultant?


Can you talk about the challenges you’ve faced working in a mixed/remote environment?


What does your ideal client organisation look like?


How do you maintain a healthy corporate culture, both internally and with clients?


What is your go-to workshop or format for gathering customer requirements?


Are you seeing a demand for “Design Thinking” from clients and partners? Is it a fad or a paradigm shift?


Has Agile finally solved the project lifecycle problem or is there always “crunch” at the end?


Does the start-up motto of "fail fast and fail forward" really apply in a corporate environment?


An area we haven't covered is when consultants need to troubleshoot, advise and perhaps mediate some pre-existing client-supplier relationships...


And finally what innovations do you see making a big impact in the near future?


On that note, thank you, we’ll wrap up there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences today.
