Jennifer, Senior Manager
“I love the challenges that different
projects and different clients bring me,
and successfully completing projects
gives me a sense of achievement.”
I am from the financial
services operating group.
I participate in diverse
projects, from system implementation to change management to management consulting. Personally, I am most
interested in change management projects because they
provide me with a lot of
opportunities to communicate
with people and make presentations. Helping clients is a
joyful thing to do. I would
suggest that people in the
consulting industry have the
right expectations. I have been
with Accenture for nine years.
I love the challenges that
different projects and different
clients bring to me, and
successfully completing
projects gives me a sense of
achievement. I like my job also
because I have the chance to
work with many talented
people. Sometimes we are very
busy especially when we work
under deadline pressures or
when there are many projects
on hand. But we as a team
would always try our best to
deliver high-quality projects
on time.

Yongtao, Manager
“It is so pleasant to be able to work with
a group of smart and nice people.”
I am working in management
consulting with a focus on
Talent and Organization. We
provide consulting services in
organization management,
human capital management,
performance management, and
change management etc.
During my seven years at
Accenture, I have been
involved in various projects
including corporate strategy,
business & operation model,
organization design, finance &
budgeting management, and
system implementation,
serving clients across industries such as communications,
electronic & high technology,
resources, and automobile.
I am lucky to be one of the
members in the Accenture
family, not only because of
7
the invaluable professional
experiences I have gained, but
also it is so pleasant to be able
to work with a group of smart
and nice people. Consulting is
a team-driven type of work, so
a relaxing and efficient
working environment allows
me to achieve high performance. At Accenture, people
are always willing to help and
team-oriented. The higher
career ladder you reach, the
more obvious what these
qualifications could mean to
you. Being a consultant, you
will need great passion and
interest in the work you do,
since this is not an easy job, if
you are serious you have to be
clear about what you want
and what you can contribute.
Last but not least, you also
need to be able to learn fast
and improve yourself under
pressure- I believe in working
hard and smart, rather than
working hard alone.
Doreen, Managing Director
“You will surely have an opportunity to
present yourself as long as you work
hard.”
I joined Accenture in 1995.
Since then, I have been
developing my career at the
company while witnessing its
robust business development
in Greater China. Looking back
on all those projects I participated in, big or small, I find
the experience to be quite
rewarding and memorable.
I have grown from a
programmer to a client
relations executive. Two
projects have influenced me
the most. The first one was a
big project in Singapore. I
cooperated with colleagues
from different countries and
learnt many soft skills. One of
the most important points I
realized is that you need to
seize every opportunity for
your career development. The
other one was a project with
Sinopec. I believe large
projects provide a big platform
for all project participants. You
will surely have an opportunity
to present yourself as long as
you work hard. Accenture’s
culture is excellent. Externally,
it advocates the creation of
value for clients; internally, it
pays attention to the professional growth of employees. In
addition, Accenture is a truly
global company. The way
Accenture runs its business
and the knowledge base it
builds encourage a passion for
learning and facilitate knowledge sharing among its
employees from different
countries. This really helps
broaden employees’ horizons.

Mercedes-Benz
Helping Mercedes-Benz Live Up to Its
High-performance Brand Name
Mercedes-Benz is a brand
synonymous with quality,
prestige and performance.
However its brand reputation
rests on more than its vehicles.
Each and every touch point of
the brand has the potential to
enhance or diminish its
reputation and thus, its value.
Faced with ever increasing
competition, the company has
therefore asked Accenture to
investigate each and every
aspect of its Customer Service
Centers, and define a strategy
to ensure that they stay ahead
of the pack.
11
Accenture started the project
by comparing and benchmarking the performance of their
Customer Service Centers
against those of the company’s
eight competitors. In Benz’
call center, we used a total of
179 indicators - from price
and efficiency to quality - to
measure, compare and analyze
the whole process as well as
every part of its offering. We
then used our findings to
define a strategy for identifying the spectrum of opportunities for future improvements
that would further enhance
the customer experience.
Staples
Delivering High Performance in Supply
Chain Management
In order to drive sustainable
growth and profitability and
sharpen its competitive edge,
Staples turned to Accenture to
assist in building a state-ofthe-art supply chain to provide
services for its 1,300 retail
stores in the United States.
Accenture's solution emphasized not only on technology
but also on process improvement for better synchronization between marketing and
promotion. It took Staples
merely two years to reduce
idle inventory by 15 percent,
and thus release liquid equity
of over US$200 million.
Meanwhile, its in-stock rate
grew by over 300 basis points
and retail sales increased by
over US$100 million during
the same period. Today, retail
supply chain has been transformed into a competitive
advantage for Staples, helping
them maintain their position
as a high-performance enterprise.
12
Warner Bros.
Digital Supply Chain Transformation
Technology experts from
Warner Brothers have been
working closely with Accenture in the field of digital
transmission. Starting with the
advertising and promotional
materials, the team has
developed a system to carry
out the end-to-end digital
process management and
distribution of Warner Brothers’ huge database containing
68,000 pieces of films, TV
serials and animations. The
system not only provided
consumers with multimedia
entertainment on demand, but
also streamlined the work
processes and significantly
13
improved cost efficiencies. The
innovative technologies used
in the system include automated media production,
media formatting technology
and secure solutions for
transmitting hyper-capacity
media files to cinemas,
broadcasting stations and
content retailers.
Accenture would be able to
leverage the rich experience
gained from the Warner Bros.
project to help other similar
companies accelerate their
transition to the digital era.
SINOPEC
Optimizing Large-scale Core Business
Processes
China Petroleum and Chemical
Corporation (Sinopec) is one of
the largest integrated energy
and chemical companies in
China. Sinopec aims to
optimize its huge core
business processes in order to
improve its operational
performance and reduce costs.
The company is eager to
accelerate the transformation
of its own operating model,
shifting from a traditional
state-owned enterprise to a
market-driven entity geared to
international standards.
Accenture has assisted Sinopec
to build and implement its
Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system which has been
launched in over 100 of
Sinopec’s branches. This has
led to the introduction of
global best practices in ERP
with restructuring of most of
its business processes. The new
system has not only enabled
Sinopec to reduce costs, but
also ensured smooth, timely
and more comprehensive flow
of information to optimize the
management team’s decision
making process.
