Does anyone work in design thinking at their company? I would love a more creative role that the role I am in now.
I don’t have a technical design background but would love to work in design thinking and innovation in a more project management type of role. Any tips?

Have you looked at Interactive / Fjord internally. This is what they do

I have been trying for months and months. It seems impossible to get anything at Accenture in design without a design background. So I am considering other companies instead.

You'd probably have to switch into Interactive. Project management in design related projects is Innovation hub or Interactive. But are you talking to enough people? I just said no to 2 design related PjM roles. Just train some UX/UI skills on the side, and build a basic portfolio, it's no different than doing business case comps in university to get into consulting.

Did you mean mylearning? As for training just YouTube videos and build something design wise, and show you know why you did what you did it. Which is exactly what a portfolio is. Also are you sure you're pursuing the right roles? PjM in design is not really different than PjM in any other industry, the way you sell yourself to a role should be identical as selling yourself into a new industry

I went through an innovation secondment at my firm, obtained a design thinking certification, and have led design thinking sessions for clients and internal teams. However it’s not my primary role - just something I do on the side in addition to my Technology Consulting work.

Checkout roles at LUMA and maybe IBM

Personal reason for me would be reputation and client attractiveness. Also more interested in revenue-side consulting compared to mainly doing back office optimization currently. Is the latter one legit to tell in interviews or too harsh about current employer?

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts. I’m totally respect people who want to keep their personal life private, but not knowing what the hell is trending while holding a role that deal with social media contracts everyday and giving others opinions, that’s what I’ll have problem with. Thoughts?
