1 Consulting Career Opportunities Taylor Milner Stroud Consulting
2 Introduction Taylor Milner Cornell 1998 I have worked in the consulting industry since I graduated; specifically in operations consulting I have been with Stroud Consulting since its founding in 2001
3 Some questions we will attempt to answer How did you get here? What is consulting? Who will enjoy it? What do consultants do? How to choose a firm? Some final thoughts
4 Some questions for you Why Cornell and the major you chose? What have you liked about what you studied? What have you disliked about what you studied? What have you liked and disliked about your co-ops and internships?
5 10 Years Ago I came to Cornell to study engineering because I enjoyed understanding how things worked. I did a co-op with Lockheed Martin in CA. As I learned more and more about the path I thought I wanted to pursue, it appealed to me less and less.
6 10 Years Ago I wanted to use my natural analytical ability plus what I had learned at Cornell (I had spent four years working hard!) I enjoyed it It was a strength compared with other individuals But I wanted to add: Working with people. A faster career pace. The sense that I was making a difference each day I wanted to do something interesting
7 I chose consulting It looked to satisfy these criteria. The consulting industry is very broad and diverse. There is probably a career path for anyone with any background within the industry. I am going to highlight some of the points that differentiate career paths and firms so that you can make a more informed decision.
8 The importance of differentiation If you only remember one thing 100,000 firms and 950,000 consultants in 2007 $125 billion in revenue 75% of firms are 1 or 2 people 75% of consulting revenue is earned by the top 50 firms 75% of consultants work for a firm with more than 100 people The consulting industry is incredibly diverse
9 What is consulting? Webster s - Consulting: the act of giving professional advice
10 Why does consulting exist? At times, companies require a level of expertise that their current employees cannot provide. Deciding whether to enter a new market Improving the effectiveness of the current business. Software implementation & training. The company can hire and train individuals to address this lack of expertise, or. The company can look outside for this help.
11 Who will enjoy consulting? Beyond the work you do, what are some of the characteristics you want to have in your career? Describe your ideal job
12 What does consulting have to offer? Potential for a massive challenge Exposure to many industries Broad business knowledge and skills Specific industry knowledge and skills Development of skills that are transferable to other occupations Competitive compensation
13 What is required to succeed? Consultants must: Be ambitious with a strong work ethic Have a strong analytical ability Have great communication skills Be energetic and inspirational Be able to work in teams Be willing to travel at times Be willing to work long hours at times
14 The Business of Consulting What are some of the different industries you are looking for jobs in? What kind of work do you want to be doing? R&D, Operations, Design, Marketing, HR
15 Consulting Businesses Industries Finance, Manufacturing, Healthcare, etc Focus Strategy, Operations, IT, etc Energy Healthcare Finance Non-Profit Highly technical Non-technical Strategy Operations Management IT Engineering
16 Different areas of Focus 1. Strategy Define the future direction of the business 2. Operations Making the existing operation more effective 3. HR Maximize the leverage from their human assets 4. IT Maximize the effective use of information 5. Boutique Niche expertise, varies across a broad spectrum. (Airline Chapter 11) 6. Internal Trying to do the above with internal resources
17 Different Types of Advice 1. Defining the Problem Helping a client to objectively understand the reality of the situation they are facing. 2. Defining the Solution Helping the client to devise a plan or strategy that will allow them to achieve their goals. 3. Implementing the Solution Helping the client to implement the solution that has been devised.
18 Choosing a firm Is anyone interested in working for a small company? How about a large company? Is name recognition important to you? What kind of company culture are you looking for? All consulting firms are not created equal!
19 Company Culture The culture of any company is defined by the people in that company today. You can learn a lot about a company s culture from the people that come recruiting they have been chosen for a reason! Go visit an office and talk to people two to three years in.
20 The differences between firms The Work What you do How much interaction you get with the client The culture The types of people Work life balance Career path
21 Some final things to think about Where do you want to live? How many hours do you want to work? Are your weekends important to you? How much do you want to get paid? How much do you want to travel? Different firms offer different lifestyles
22 What About the Future? Can a person do this for life? I think so, but not all firms are the same There are always new challenges especially in a small firm The travel decreases High potential income What can you do afterward? Work in industry Take on a significant leadership role in a different organization Your own business in another field
23 So many options Because there are so many different types of consulting jobs out there, you will have to work to narrow the field to your interests. Start with finding out what you will be doing each day, especially at the beginning of your career. Doing analysis Software implementation Presenting information Interacting with clients Solving problems
24 Stroud Consulting We are an operations consulting firm Take the existing operations of a business and make it much more efficient and effective We work in a variety of industries: Food and beverage, chemicals, healthcare, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, paper, agricultural products, I am biased, but I think operations consulting, and especially Stroud, is a great path for graduates like you.
25 What you would do with us Lead client teams to recover high priority and high value opportunities Lots of client interaction Lots of problem solving A chance to work in the operations and see how processes actually work The opportunity to make a big difference in a short period of time
26 Making Oatmeal Humans have been growing oats since the Bronze Age ( BCE) The first oat mill was built in England in 1899 We should be pretty good at this.
27 Oatmeal Making Process Growing and Harvesting Cleaning Oat Mill Packaging Rolling
28 Oat Milling Worlds largest oat mill 27,000 tons of oats a day 13 stories high and over 2000 different machines The cleaning process is not working properly there is mud in our finished oats Are any of you experts in milling oats?
29 Muddy Oats We didn t always have mud in our oats. It s because we have to buy our oats from Canada where it is muddier at harvest time. If they would only let us spend $10MM we could fix the problem. The consequence of this is that we extra clean the oats and throw 3% of the oats away (810 tons)
30 Oat Mill - Simplified O A T F L O W Logs and Frogs Width Length Course Screeners Screeners Rotary Sizers Weight Density Aspirators Gravity Tables
31 Solving the Problem You have 27,000 tons of oats per day flowing through 2000 different machines. You have less than 1% mud at the end. What are the first steps you might take to solve this problem?
32 Narrowing the problem down Total Oat Flow Regular Oats Double Oats Stub Oats RE 76% of flow 13% of flow 7% of flow 5% of flow 13% of Mud 80% of Mud 3% of Mud 4% of Mud
33 Double Oats Cleaning System O A T F L O W Course Screeners Overall Size Screeners - Width Rotary Sizers - Length Mud of the same width Mud of the same length and smaller Aspirators -Weight Mud of the same weight
34 How do you separate objects of different weights? Aspirator Light Objects (Oats) Heavy Objects (Mud) Constant velocity air flow
35 Muddy Oats The double oats aspirators had been upgraded and re-calibrated using regular oats Results: Overall muddiness reduced by 76% Sometimes just finding the problem is the hardest part; figuring out the solution is easy.
36 What are the implications of solving this? For the company: Better quality of finished product Reduced cost for processing oats Less environmental impact For you: Increased confidence in what you can achieve Significant credibility within the client s organization
37 Other examples Increasing the throughput of a chocolate plant Eliminating contamination when bottling fresh juice Reducing the use of oil and gas by burning bark Increasing the throughput of a pharmaceutical manufacturing process Improving the yield when extracting oil from oil sands Reducing the in-port maintenance time for nuclear submarines Reducing the water usage in a tomato plant Increasing the throughput of baggage handling Improving customer service in a hospital
38 Why am I still at Stroud? I continue to be challenged and interested by the work The opportunities I am presented with are significantly greater than my peers It s my company; I impact the decisions we make and the direction we head The present is great and I can see a great future
39 Questions? Thank you!
