I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

Wie viel Interaktion habt ihr mit den Mitarbeitern der Konzerne, mit denen ihr zusammenarbeitet?

Hallo zusammen,

ich hätte eine Frage an die Inhouse-Beratungen bezüglich der Zusammenarbeit mit den internen Konzernen. Mich interessiert, wie intensiv der Austausch und die Interaktion mit den Non-Consultants ist. Wie kann ich mir das vorstellen, wie oft steht ihr in Kontakt? Gibt es hier einen allgemeinen Wert (z.B. ~3 Tage in der Woche beim Kunden)? 

Vielen Dank im Voraus für die Insights!

Beste Grüße

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your question. Since I have to translate it to English to understand it, so let me rephrase your question here: you are asking how often do we interact with our clients, i.e. the business/line functions in the group?

In general, I don't think this is a clear guideline on how much interaction you must have with your clients. Our clients and their team are also our colleagues, eventually, we are working together to make sure that DHL Group delivers the best result. Therefore, based on the requirements of the project and the level of details I need to dig into for my projects, I might have touchpoint every day with my client or once per week with my client - It really depends on their availability and your project needs.

Normally we are very close to the business/line functions in the group as they also don't purely treat as “the consultants”. We will have follow-ups regularly with them after our projects to understand the status of our project deliverables.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Best,

Nancy

Hi,

As is often the case in consulting, ‘it depends.’

The level of interaction varies depending on the project requirements. On my current project, I engage with clients almost daily, often meeting in person when we are in the office (typically 2 days per week). Additionally, I occasionally travel to our local companies. In contrast, on my previous project, interactions were less frequent – 1-2 times per week.

Our clients are also our colleagues. Together, we decide on the most suitable working mode for the specific needs of each project.

Best,

Paulina

Why ECON? Denisa Valsova, Senior Consultant tells you!
Interview with Denisa Valsova, Senior Consultant at E.ON Inhouse Consulting How did your application process work? I got to know ECON during an “skill seminar” event at my university where I had a chance to meet several consultants from the team and also did a group case. After the event I was invited for an interview. I had a super smooth process where I felt really well supported by the HR team – I had a briefing call where the process and all the requirements were explained very clearly to me and I got helpful tips on how to prepare for my interviews. I also got immediate answers to all my questions and help in sorting out the logistics of coming to Essen for my interview. This really helped me feel more at ease during the whole process and enabled me to truly focus on my preparation for the interviews.  How did you prepare for your case interview? I went through several case interview prep books and articles (like the famous Case In Point or Victor Cheng’s guides) to understand how the case interview works, what to expect and what frameworks might be helpful. I drew out the most relevant frameworks for myself to think about how they can be helpful to me. And most importantly, I practiced a lot. I did about 30 written cases by myself and about 20 live cases with my friends – especially those who had gone through consulting interviews themselves were the greatest help. Practice really helps you get your nerves in check, familiarize with the routines and also just improve your problem solving skills with every new scenario you encounter – I saw improvements with every singe practice case I did. What was your best moment at ECON? On the personal side of things it was definitely our Summer Strategy Days – a summer offsite where all ECONs gather for a lot of workshops, activities and fun (this has of course not been possible during covid times but hopefully we will all be able to gather soon again). On the professional side of things I really enjoyed an agile transformation project we worked on earlier this year in our Czech business – we were working with the local leadership on the overall strategy and understanding how we can best help the business move forward, but at the same time were coaching operational teams for working in a Scrum logic. I loved brining together the operational view of colleagues being very close to our end customers together with the view of the local Board to find the best approach to suit the business.   Sound interesting? Click here to find out more about your entry opportunities at ECON!
