Key Takeaways

• In a presentation, it is important to have relevant information to the audience present. I have always known this but it is more difficult when the project is of this size and scope.

• The (client) culture is familial. A lot of the people I have met have worked here for long periods of time, and take pride in the number of years they can say they have worked for (client) . Due to this, co-workers know quirks and working habits of each other and there is a constantly changing dynamic that families and friends often see, and co-workers do not always.

• The Program is a massive undertaking and responsibility. I am impressed with the trust between (client) and Accenture in order to improve (client program) as a whole. There is inclusivity and transparency with this team, which allows the project of this size to be productive.
