So if they are sooo big, then why are the consulting officers here so small. For eg, Mckinsley office has to share with some shipping company on the same floor.
I worked in celcom b4, last time accenture came.
I do understand what you said, I didn't say they are invisible in malaysia, just that they're not so prominent here.
Gosh...........you really don't understand the business, do you? Consultants do not work at the company's offices.....They work on-site. The only reason why they still maintain a bureau is just for client entertainment....Some BD meetings with C-suite executives can take place at the consultant's office.
It is also the case where consultants need not be based in one country to do work in that country, they can fly in from any part of the world. Hence the travelling lifestyle of consultants. Again, this doesn't mean they are not prominent in Msia....it only means that if you are not a Msian, you probably don't want to live in KL where the lifestyle options of offerings pale in comparison to those of SG or HK.
You speak about Accenture and the same applies. For the headcount of a similar sized firm in industry, Accenture would need to take up one whole building. Yet, they only have one floor.
You still don't understand it's not the visibility that counts.....
One can have a prominent project but no one knows about it..........that is usually the case for strategy projects. 3-4 people in a team. At any passing look, it's unremarkable. Your idea of prominence appears to be characterised by loud clatter of publicity and visible number of workforce deployment. Prominence in Strategy is defined by value of the output.
