Also gotta sit in the right spot where it makes sense to sponsor. One of our tech alignments? Gonna be a lot more competitive then someone in our strategy profile/advise offerings. Some animals are more equal than others
Aside from exceptional performance, PPMD sponsors, and high likelihood of being accepted, you need a stellar business case. Your business case should be clear, tangible, and above all HIGHLY specific. Having a crystal clear vision for your case is perhaps the biggest component and the reason why people get sponsored.
GSAP is selective for sure, but for some it’s much more selective then others. Back in the Stone Age GSAP was an S&O only thing and those analysts and consultants were recruited under the pretense that thy either did GSAP or left the firm (true up or out.) As we widened the aperture, our acceptance rates declined at key schools as we gave everyone sponsorship without the right experiences and story. What you’re seeing now with things becoming more competitive is the pendulum swinging back to the firm sponsoring only those where it makes sense to do so: profile or business role where an MBA is valuable in the market, commitment to Deloitte and returning to the sponsoring unit, AND the person will be competitive at top schools. To use my prior example; if you’ve spent 3 years helping with master data management on an implementation you’re not teed up for success getting GSAP or in to a top program.
- 3 years of tenure to qualify
- Last 2 years top performance (client exceptional / firm initiatives strong)
- 2 PMDs + coach support
- Business case presentation to panel
Nope, that’s old news. That used to be the case but they changed it 2 years ago
Exceptional 2 years in a row, 2 partner sponsors
