Why did you decide to work for AVENCORE?
I was looking for a job opportunity working as a consultant, helping clients with strategic problems, using a practical method that is based on technical knowledge and questioning... and that is exactly what I found at Avencore! We conduct functional and hands-on consulting that has a tangible effect on the client, which we endeavor to measure on every job. I enjoy working with a variety of topics and disciplines while striving for excellence every day.
What is your favourite memory working with a client?
During a brainstorming meeting about cost reduction for a consumer product, my client received a call. After stepping out, he returned excitedly, saying, "The competitor released their product! I am buying two copies. We will send one to the lab, and we will dissect the other this afternoon.” We did just that and had a memorable hands-on workshop.
What do you enjoy most about being a consultant?
At AVENCORE, you are in a state of "controlled dynamic disequilibrium."
- Disequilibrium because you are always stepping out of your comfort zone - something that all Avencorians strive for.
- Dynamic because we never do the same thing twice but progress every day to develop new skills and seek out new challenges.
- Controlled because we do all this while ensuring that we deliver the required level of excellence. We will never risk a mission for the sake of leaving our comfort zone!
AVENCORE has helped me develop skills that benefit me both professionally and personally, and it continues to do so.
