I will begrudgingly admit that Accenture is strong on SCM (particularly the ex-KSA practice). I would put our SCNO practice up there also.
But B2C retailers are the leading edge. JnJ and Nestle may be leading in front end SC (planning and mfg) but are 15 years behind the curve on the execution side (Fulfillment and logistics)
Thanks D1, and second your point on B2Cs leading the way here. Companies that have figured out the direct to consumer model effectively are going to be much more agile and innovative.
Our Supply Chain practice is hiring. Trying to be unbiased here, but SC is one of our strongest practices across the firm
@C2 DM me!
Accenture has a very strong Supply chain practice, in terms of top notch industry I recommend large retailer (Walmart and amazon, etc...) leading CPG (unilever, p&g, j&j, nestle etc... and also auto manufacturing. I think it’s also good to have exposure to capital intensive supply chains (mining, energy, utilities etc...)

Although I tend to agree with the above comments , I see more and more of mck operations in the market (at least in Europe).
@Accenture folk did you find you learned a lot from from others at Accenture? Or more from industry experiences, if you’ve had them?
I am glad I worked in industry for a few years before joining Accenture supply chain practice. I bring experience from industry and can put myself in the clients shoes which people cannot do if they have only done consulting. How can you consult a job function you’ve never worked in? That is my perspective and why I think a lot of the consultants in general are just professionals of “fake it til you make it”.
I have been through a couple industries (automotive, medical, and now consumer goods). Every industry thinks that another industry has some SCM hack or trick that makes them amazing. Spoiler alert there is no one size fits all. The best thing (and really the only thing) you can do is take learning experiences and improvements with you from one project to the next.
Lots of industries have best in practice supply chains but they are only best in practice for that industry and for that company, theories can be used but tactics are not applicable company to company (for the most part).
The best thing you can do is find an organization that you enjoy the culture and can stand being at.
