How I put change in motion
Everything was new to me when I first entered the field of technology consulting with a background in international trade. However, I believed that I could build my own strengths with a passion for learning and growing. In the first half-year, I gained experience by joining various projects, organizing project meeting materials, and reading a lot of technology and business-related research.
After attending two training sessions for global consultants in Accenture St. Charles Training Center, I had a better understanding of Accenture culture and the consulting methodology. By applying what I had learned in training to different projects, I kept building my skills and expertise.
Every effort has its rewards. My third trip to St. Charles was invited to share my experience in a blockchain project to Accenture leadership across the globe. Recently, I was fortunate enough to be the sole representative of Greater China to participate in the Technology Leadership Trailblazer Program, a joint program between Accenture and MIT Sloan School of Management.

A day in my life
My current job is to understand clients’ pain points and propose appropriate technology solutions to transform their business effectively and efficiently. At the same time, I lead a “New Technology Consulting Talents” project, selecting suitable new consultants and helping them advance their career.
On a previous project for a government client, I led a group of young people to explore how to leverage blockchain and cloud technology to transform the business. As an innovative project without any precedent, we put a lot of efforts on ideating, prototyping and iterating. Finally, we have delivered this project successfully, which has been highly recognized by the client. Even Accenture colleagues from other countries have often come to us to learn best practices.

My advice
As technology consultants, we should be equipped with both technical skills and the soft skills, bringing Accenture capabilities and best practices to life and making a meaningful impact on our clients’ businesses and in our communities. Accenture is the place where you can expand your horizons and unleash full potential.
