We do have Global Expertise Networks set-up for many of our industry and functional areas and encourage recent graduate hires to be involved in several to get a feel for what each one does. North Highland: In terms of industry specialisation, it often depends on the interest of the individual.

Tom: North Highland has a broad range of industry expertise including in Energy and Utilities, Financial Services, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Media, Entertainment and Telecommunications, Public Sector, Retail and CPG, and Transportation, Travel and Leisure.Īre graduates expected to pick an industry specialisation?

North Highland: Again, it depends, but if there is interest to rotate between or within practice areas, we certainly work to develop a career path for an individual that aligns with their professional goals. Tom: Is there a rotation program within or between practice areas? North Highland: It often depends on client need, but typically, unless there is a strong interest in specialisation early on, we aim to provide a well-rounded experience and provide a broad view of management consulting to recent graduates. Tom: Do graduates gain exposure to more than one service area? last year as well and we’ve seen substantial growth in that area. Our Managed Services offering was launched in the U.S. Examples of this include our strategy and advisory group, launched in 2014, and we’ve seen tremendous interest in that offering. While we do the majority of our work in core consulting, we’ve also added divisions, offerings and solutions where we see a client need and opportunity. North Highland: Our engagements focus on multiple functions and industries and we continue to see a fairly broad variety in all of these areas from our clients. Where does North Highland do the bulk of its work?

Tom: North Highland offers a range of solutions including Data and Analytics, Managed Services, Operating Efficiency Ratio, People and Change, Professionalising IT, Social Insights Lab and Strategy and Advisory. This will be of particular interest for students and recent graduates who are looking to pursue a career in the management consulting industry.
