What is the Corporate Experience Accelerate Programme Pathway?

The Corporate Experience (CE) pathway of the Accelerate programme is designed for talented individuals, passionate about helping organisations structure their operations and devise winning sustainable strategies across a range of industries. Our core capabilities address end-to-end corporate and technology-focused transformations, from strategy through to operating model.

The Accelerate Programme consists of 2 parts:

• The Institute (circa 3 months)

• The CE Academy (circa 18 months)

Your first 3 months of the Accelerate Programme will be spent within The Institute, where you will learn core consulting skills and gain a broad understanding of everything we do at Capgemini Invent within a feed-back rich environment.

Following your time in The Institute, you will join the Corporate Experience Academy. Please refer to the relevant entry route webpage further details on team structure and information on alignment with your skills and interests.

The Focus of Your Role

As an Associate Consultant, you’ll embark on an exciting and impactful journey, developing key skills that influence how our clients evolve their ways of working and achieve their goals. Our engagements can be end-to-end or focused around one of our core capabilities. Your day-to-day tasks may include designing cutting-edge operating models, commercial modelling or facilitating workshops.

Listed below are our core capabilities which form the basis for client engagements:

Strategy and Business Architecture: defining an organisation’s vision and aligning it with their overarching business objectives. Adapting business models for success in a changing industry, and identifying the capabilities required to execute a strategy.

Financial Modelling & Performance Management: ensuring proposed transformations are commercially viable. Developing and managing a transformation portfolio that delivers the organisational strategy.

Operating Model & Organisational Design: organising resources and structuring an organisation’s components to deliver their strategy and business model.

Finance Transformation: developing and implementing new tools, technologies, or ways of working in the finance function of organisations.

What you will need

We are particularly interested to learn if you have experience or are interested in working in the industries we operate in and are keen to start a career in an environment where you can drive change.

Ideally, you will have some (or all) of the following:
