Accenture Strategy Connect Season 4: Stages and Timelines
Virtual Launch Webinar
Launch event till 6 PM IST as we’ll also be walking you through the PPT.
What’s more, you’ll get to hear from senior Accenture leaders, learn about pre-placement opportunities, and dive into everything Accenture has to offer.
A power-packed session to kick things off - don’t miss it! Click Here to register for the webinar.
Preliminary Quiz
The participant who registers the team will be the team leader by default and only the team leader can attempt the quiz. Participants will answer 30 questions in 30 minutes to assess their proficiency in Strategy Consulting. Please verify first and then click the play button to begin.
Simulation Game
In this round, you'll be working as a consultant on the problem statement assignment given to you as part of the consulting project. You will have limited resources at every stage of this project. Your first step will be to frame the task for yourself, which essentially means that you need to select a few topics that you think, if investigated further, will help you move towards your final recommendation for the assignment. The next step is to dive deep into the selected domains by seeking answers to some key questions in each one of them. Again, as you work with restrictions, you can select only a few questions from an exhaustive list. Hence, you need to prudently choose the questions that you need answers to. Plus, you'll only see questions for the topics that should have been selected as per the game. Hence, if you have selected any topic that is not relevant to your assignment in the first step, the system won't show you questions about it. Finally, based on the information gathered from the above two steps, you make your final recommendation.
Strat Tank Round
The list of industries will soon be released, enabling the top 3 teams from each campus to identify a relevant business problem and develop their solution within a chosen industry.
Storytelling workshop + Masterclass on “ How to present Business Ideas”
Strat Tank: Solution Showcase
The top 3 teams from each campus will progress to the next round, where they must select one industry from a set of 8 (to be revealed after Round 2 results). Each team will identify a real-world problem within their chosen industry and propose a business idea to address it.
The presentation should have a maximum of 7 slides, including the introduction slide, a selected Industry problem statement and annexures.
