Development

You receive a great deal of assistance from your immediate superior who guides you and teaches you the fundamentals of the consultancy business.

When on assignment, you integrate into the rest of the team and show that you are at ease in the client environment. Your daily tasks consist of assisting with data collection and you perform the necessary quantitative analyses. The rest of the team appreciates that you present your work clearly and that your analyses are reliable.

You are now responsible for a wider field of operations. You participate actively in identifying project problems and you conduct your interviews and analyses with little assistance. Based on these interviews and analyses, you are able to draw clear "so whats?".

You show initiative and self-confidence when interacting with others. When working at the client’s offices, you project business maturity and your involvement in the project is both strong and visible to all. You are respected by client staff.

You participate actively in bringing structure to projects. You take responsibility for entire fields where complex analyses need to be conducted. You are accompanied by one or more junior consultants. You delegate fields of operation and ensure constructive feedback while guaranteeing high-quality deliverables and compliance with the timetable.

Your full understanding of the project means that you can present results to groups and maintain constructive discussions with the audience. The client is clearly respectful of your contribution.

Your sector experience, consulting know-how and charisma mean that you can take full responsibility for a project with a small team of 2 or 3 consultants. You communicate your energy and motivation to the rest of the group.

You are able to communicate with Management to give the project all its expected value:  frequent progress reports, steering committees, brainstorming for novel solutions, management seminars, etc. Your ability to manage difficult situations and drive team operations means that you are the client's key contact person.

In-house, you contribute to Advancy's intellectual capital by formally defining “dos and don’ts” and efficiently sharing best practices with the rest of the team.

As an accomplished manager you are in charge of several, often complex projects and you manage teams of 3 to 5 consultants. You are an excellent communicator and this allows you to manage audiences and difficult situations entirely on your own.

Your credibility and political sense are such that top management relies on you to chair the highest-level working sessions. Your director appreciates the close relationship you have built up with top management and your ability to develop new avenues of business.

In-house, you contribute to Advancy's expertise by formally defining new, innovative methods. You use your experience to develop Advancy communications (papers, lectures at major schools, conferences, etc.).
