Accenture Strategy is now part of the same ‘Go to market’ group as Consulting. Basically just means MDs in that group get rewarded for selling more than just either strategy or consulting work. We do more than one thing so we want our MDs selling more than one thing. Strategy is still a separate group with different branding, offering, and comp from consulting. As a strategy person you would not do more consulting work, just that the two teams go to market together. Essentially we want 100% conversion of strategy projects into long-haul consulting projects.

Regarding the cases: it depends. The North American cases, I believe, are pretty similar to MBB. In Europe we use very different cases.

LOL. There is no more Accenture Strategy. It’s now Strategy & Consulting. Essentially Strategy alignment is no longer special. But goodluck!

@M hope you can weed out the real answers. The most common cases I’ve seen are growth / market entry and M&A

2 Rounds on campus would be: 1st round of 45 mins fit, 45 mins case (M or SM). 2nd round 45 mins case (SM or MD), 45 mins “confirming” with an MD. Case is usually from the caser’s experience.
