What’s the difference between Accenture Strategy vs. Management consulting (i.e., how does the day-to-day vary from SC to MC)? Asking specifically about Leadership & Culture Transformation, but any ACN perspectives welcome!

In strategy you never have to say you’re sorry.

In strategy you make more money and in consulting you make less money to answer for the mistakes the people In strategy made

In strategy you have to add "Strategy" to the front of your title.

For some people this is their entire personality

I’m still trying to figure this out. I’ve worked L&CT on both sides and I can’t tell the difference - I do the same work, regardless. The only differences I can see maybe are that projects are more often early-phase for strategy and we can charge more for work because of competitors in the “strategy” space. Seems like a pillar that might go away/combine into one with the next re-org.

I think that's why Accenture created "S&C".

In T&O Strat you will be defining the culture whereas in consulting you will just be doing change management

Makes sense. Thanks! Any idea on how culture at ACN strategy compares to management?

Any big differences in culture between SC and MC? I hear a lot of the strategy houses (MBB) still like wear their hours worked like a badge of honor. Is this the same at ACN strategy?

my badge of honor here is the opposite, getting work done in a timely manner and getting to live some life is a far better accolade
