0163 - Aspects of Consulting with Shradha Shaw

Host(s) Tristan Flüchter and Sinead Cleary

Our guest today is Shradha Shaw. Shradha is a Senior Analytics Consultant at Deloitte Ireland with experience in Business Intelligence and Data Transformation.

Thank you for joining us, Shradha, can you start by telling us a little about yourself?

1.     Is the analyst role and the consultant role different?

2.     What do consultants do? [is being a consultant more about developing technology or strategy?]

3.     What does a day on a sprint look like?

4.     You're with a client and it becomes clear that they haven't identified the real problem...

5.     How do you cope with resistance on a project?

6.     Would you ever admit the limits of your knowledge?

7.     Where does design happen; is there room for design in consulting? [where or how does design and design action emerge?]

8.     Is consultancy usually time-boxed project-oriented or more open-ended and long-term?

9.     And finally; does consulting pose ethical challenges, how do you deal with them?

Well on that note, I think we’ll wrap up there.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences today.
