A Day in the Life of a Strategy Consultant On the Job 7:30 I’m at my computer, waiting for the aircon to kick in. I need to wrap up a PowerPoint presentation that’s due this morning, so no time for chitchatting with clients over the coffee maker. 11:00 Finished! I click through the slides with my supervisor, and we go over the presentation. 11:30 She suggests an early lunch, to which I happily agree. Even if it’s a quick one. 12:00 We head over to the other building and find the conference room where we’ll meet some of the client managers. We present the PowerPoint and answer any questions they have. 2:00 The meeting wraps up and my supervisor and I head back to the other building. We usually have a post-mortem on big meetings. This time we discuss how the meeting went while we walk. 2:15 I’m back at my desk trying to tackle a bunch of other work that’s piled up. I open up a spreadsheet but then . . . 2:30 One of my teammates, a new analyst, has a question about the analysis he’s responsible for. I’ve done this twice in past projects, so I sit down with him and show him the ropes. 3:00 Back to my desk and check to see how far I’ve got on my file. 3:05 Not so fast. <strong>An</strong>other colleague comes by with a different problem. I sit down with her, discuss what she’s tried, and give her some advice. It’s a tricky one, and we spend an hour trying to untangle it. 4:30 Yikes. How did it get so late? I try to get at least half of this report done. 6:00 I head for the door, but I’ve got a laptop in hand. I’ll have to wrap up this work tonight because my manager wants to see it tomorrow. Oh well, it was going to be quiet evening at the hotel anyway. 24
