Generative AI seems like a perfect fit for Accenture, a company whose business depends primarily on generating PowerPoint decks.

- ProllyInfamous 1y agoMy POV of consulting (as a former IBEW electrician) is that the consultants interview us underlings (and actually listen) and then make powerpoint slides of these communal ideas to present to executives as novel ideas. Our bosses eat this shit up shit-eating-grin-ily. But I just twisted wires for a living so what the hell could I know about white collars?
- MattPalmer1086 1y agoThat's about right in my experience. Except they aren't really presenting them as novel ideas. The point isn't that they are novel, merely that because they now come packaged from a big consultancy, it provides the necessary level of ass covering to senior execs to be able to action some of them.
- smt88 1y agoCorrect. In fact, presenting a novel idea is likely a form of failure. The execs want insurance to do something the company already knows it should do.
- andy99 1y agoThe fact that you think the consultants were actually listening and raising your ideas with management shows they were good at their jobs. Providing this impression is one of their core functions.
- quickthrowman 1y agoThe IBEW hires consultants? And then has them interview inside wiremen? Is this a local or the national organization? If you ever feel like working in the field again, I have lots of work in 110 and 292 for good electricians :) If you prefer 242, 343, or 14; that can be arranged too haha
