Any agency peeps have tips on working with a client’s internal creative team? Running into lots of issues where they have 1000 opinions but bare no responsibility for anything.

The only big advice I have is - make sure the business client is in enough meeting with both of your teams on to reveal how incompetent their internal team is.

If the business client doesnt realize the issue then, youre screwed. But often they pick up on it

Is there a roles & responsibilities chart anywhere? Make sure it’s defined who is doing what. It could be an instance where the internal team has been told they are expected to weigh in, but aren’t allowed to take projects that are covered in the external agency’s scope. If that’s the case, try finding someone on the creative team who could be your inside “man” and give you insights before client presentations, so it doesn’t feel as combative in the room.

And if the internal team is not taking any responsibility, make sure you’re defining your scope of work as clearly as possible, and pushing back on anything outside of it. Even the number of revisions, because if your client sees the creative team causing additional fees in rounds of revisions, they may not be invited to review sessions anymore.

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?
