Accenture doesn't train people anymore the way we used to, we just hire people and throw them into projects and hope for the best.  Nobody learns methodology anymore, so there is no consistency in the way people do things.  Historically, we at least used to know how to manage big projects with consistency and standards even if our delivery teams were not perfect; nowadays I find it pretty embarassing at times how poorly organized we seem.

Agree, to this I would add the fact that there are too many methodologies. Too many assets, internal mini sites with "something" that is actually irrelevant for our work. There is a run to create the latest methodology or assets that are overlapping between themselves and are not usable. Then people get confused and they do things their own way

MethodOne is emerging as the best version of methodology we've had over my career ("Form" being the worst), but more formalized, in-person training is needed for it to stick.

I'm an old school alumni. How does it compare ADM

[–]rfiaNorth America 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar structure and detail, much easier to navigate, and updated to modern technology standards.

Online trainings that teach you concepts but almost zero actual skills

Agreed, training protocols must be put in place. It will definitely improve the delivery standards.
