Recruiting Strategy
How can I move from technology consulting into strategy consulting?
I am interested in moving from tech consulting to strategy consulting. What experience should I emphasise, and how can I explain the reason for the move?
Ian’s Answer
This is exactly the path I took.
I did my MBA (without it I did not have enough business/commercial knowledge to do well)
I had project, team, and client management experience (all very important and a big boost to my sellability)
I also made sure to highlight my extensive exposure to many different industries (for whom I built It systems) and my ability to quickly learn how they operated as a business
I told a (true) story of my desire to go from implementation to strategy as I saw how so many important decisions with big implications were made before we even started our work...and I wanted to impact these decisions.
