Thinking that ACN might not be the best place for HC or Org Transformation work outside of ERP change management after 2 years here. Anyone willing to share their experience at their respective firm?

I’ve heard PWC is very good too. I think in Accenture you’re better off being in the T&O strategy group if you want to get away from ERP.
Saying that, I would tell any org practitioner that they should work on an ERP implementation at least once. Getting an overview into the processes covered by SAP or Oracle is SO useful when it comes to doing org design, as you have a decent idea what each function actually does

Deloitte and PwC are the best in the non-MBB firms for hr consulting.

Deloitte being the superior of the two for Org Strategy, Change Management, and Research/Trends. PwC in my experience as a client and a practitioner has a better handle on Workforce Planning and People Analytics than Deloitte, but that is it.

Other firms fall behind both of them on everything.

If you want strategy work in human capital. I’d say excellent at PwC. Great due diligence team, awesome people analytics team, and insane amount of digitalization efforts right now happening. Can’t even begin to explain how revolutionary the practice is becoming.
I’m not even kidding but I recently did a project where we delivered something that our strategy& group was fumbling at. Cause a lot of partners have great depth of expertise. If you wanna learn you’ll do great here. If you wanna just do pmo and not advance tech skills you can go to advisory ddv practice. But if you wanna learn come to tax.
F*** I sound like I’m so much in love with the practice. But it’s the truth.

PwC1 don’t worry about the grammar, I knew nothing about PwCs practice so your insight was pretty helpful.

@D3 - we do pretty good work in this space. Our Org practice has a lot of org design, performance, leadership coaching, people analytics + more. The difference in our org practice compared to B4 is that the work that falls into it is a lot broader - as we don’t have so many of the functional practices here and org is a bit of a catch all.
We have specialist track, people coming from other consulting companies (without MBA) most commonly enter there - but usually they’ll push you down a level e.g. a manager in Deloitte would not get Expert (EM).
We also have L2’s for generalist. Sort of like a sub specialism - I’m org L2 and probably do 70% org work, though that’s probably more a function of my network and preference than my L2.

A1, I doubt Eva will have enough time to do too much before someone else comes in and reorgs again.

Plus if OP doesn’t like where there at I doubt they’ll want to stick around and hope it gets better.

Sorry for horrible grammar ^

PwC1 what group at the firm does HC strategy? I didn’t know they even did that. Thought it was mostly advisory and pmo type work. Heard a lot of grumbling about lack of cool work in HC there

That’s awesome to hear

@McK how are your offerings in the HC space—HR, Talent, etc.? What are the primary types of work in that group? Do people often lateral over to focus on that type of work specifically or no bc of the generalist model?
