I joined KGS in feb 2022, we recently got a mail regarding timeline of appraisal and bonus payout from the partner. My reporting manager hasn't yet reached out to me regarding goal setting, not sure if that happens here. Can you pls help me to know what all things we need to do from our end for the appraisal cycle and bonus payout? Since I'm new to this company KPMG KPMG India

There can be multiple EMs on larger teams, but they're managing different parts of the team. For example a client that has 8 team members might have an EM+3 and another EM+3 working on a different problem. Another thing is sometimes you have a JEM who is overseeing one BA or Associates work with an overall EM leading the team.
Got it, thanks. So the pricing structure (EM + 1/2/3/4) is really just a baseline proposal? Projects can be staffed with an assortment of different team structures outside of that?
 The pricing structure you refer to is a construct required for government work, where products and prices must be on a schedule.
On commercial projects, we use the right team to get the job done. That can take many many forms. Just a few examples:
- PL+2 or 3: typical for a strategy project, diligence, and many different types of assessments
- P (Principal) + 4-6: most common when parallel work streams are very similar in approach and output. Procurement and org delayering as examples.
- P+2/PL+2/(PL+2): common when two major modules have very different approaches or needs. P and PL(s) run each separately, but the P may lead some of the central tasks and client management and make sure everything hangs together.
- P+1/(PL+3)*5: again common with many parallel work streams, where we are taking a more hands-on role. A multi-BU growth strategy project or PMI as examples. P runs point for central client team with a +1 for PMO or consolidation model.
Most of these would have 2-3 MDs above, often designated as client officer (often most senior), executing officer (often most junior), and/or a subject matter experts. The teams would also include any number of experts (at all levels) who provide ad box input or join specific workshops etc.
An individual’s role on their case team is also somewhat flexible with regard to their actual title. It is common for a C2 to plug-in as a PL in the structures above. Or to skip having an executing officer of the P is quite senior and being groomed to lead the account.

Anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years. We don’t do PMO for client driven projects. But if we have a team of 30 (or 200), there has to be some sort of PMO.
Yes there is only one EM but can have a separate ED and CD
