Along with Innovation and Digital Disruption, Design Thinking has become
not only a popular term, but a methodology that creative and adaptive
organisations across the globe have adopted in the recent past. In an
ever changing and fluid world, design thinking has allowed organisations
to solve their complex problems and work towards meeting the liquid
expectations of their customers. Organisations are now able to transcend
traditional boundaries and continuously adapt to their customers’ needs,
thus becoming living organisations by making use of design thinking in
their day-to-day business. Although it is not a new concept, the adoption
of design thinking beyond product development has become very relevant
for organisations.
Design thinking facilitates the integration of business, design and technology
in order to solve problems, frame opportunities and drive innovation.
Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO – a leading design thinking firm – has defined
Design Thinking as “…a human-centred approach to innovation that
draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the
possibilities of technology, and the requirements of business success.”
Design thinking, in essence, is the adoption of a design mind-set and
human-centred design methods.
Organisations and people who think like designers can change the way
that they develop products and services as well as the way that they
design and execute their strategies and processes. Even people who
have not been trained as designers can use creative tools and methodologies
to innovatively work through challenges, as this methodology relies
on people’s ability to be intuitive, recognise patterns as well as construct
meaningful and functional ideas. In practice, design thinkers shift their
focus from problems towards solutions and creating the ideal future state.
This shift in mind-set calls on imagination and critical thinking by exploring
the possibilities of what could be the most desirable outcomes for end
-users. This drives people to be innovative in their problem solving and
provides real value for customers.
Designers must thoroughly understand the needs of their customers
through constant engagement, the development of prototypes, testing
and refining concepts. Customer insights from real-world engagements
helps minimise uncertainty and risk in innovation and goes above and
beyond the traditional use of historical data analysis and market research.
Steve Jobs succinctly explained the concept and relevance of
Design Thinking when he said that; “You’ve got to start with the customer
experience and work back toward the technology.”
There are over 250 published Design Thinking processes, that differ in
terms of their prescriptions and detail. However, many of them require
extensive customisation for each specific situation that these processes
are be applied to.

Fjord – an Accenture Interactive organisation – has customised its Service
Design Thinking approach into a more specific process for Digital
Experiences. IBM has an “Agile Design Thinking” process for custom
software development and SAP has a “Design Thinking for Requirements
Analysis” process for implementing its packaged software. What these
Design Thinking processes have in common is that they are all humancentred
and start by applying empathy and understanding to people/endusers
through direct observation and research. They require collaboration
of different disciplines and work streams, who can incorporate creativity
and playfulness to re-frame problems by looking at them from different
perspectives and the consideration of many solutions. Being driven by
the development of prototypes, these processes rely on tangible representations
of potential solutions to gain early user feedback. They are
driven by iteration which involves refining the problem definition and potential
solutions through testing and feedback to overcome previous failures.
Accenture’s Design Thinking approach has been developed together with
Fjord as part of the Accenture Way Programme. It compromises five
processes that are interlinked and agile. The processes are: 1. Discover
– which involves learning about people and the context of a specific problem,
2. Describe – synthesising learning from discovery and different
points of view, 3. Idea/Prototype – this is iterative ideation and involves
prototyping cycles, 4. Test – involving actual users in the testing of ideas
and prototypes, and lastly 5. Implement – deploying the chosen solution
and refining it.
Within Accenture, Design Thinking is applied through the use of Decision
Ladders or Problem Trees, Journey Mapping and Sketching and Storytelling
as a few examples. In living Accenture’s drive to continually evolve
to the new and differentiate in how we deliver and how we execute, Chief
Strategy Officer, Omar Abbosh has illustrated Accenture’s belief in the
power of Design Thinking through the decision to train 10 000 employees
on this methodology. Designers and consultants can incorporate Design
Thinking into their work by creating room for innovation through scheduling
time for close collaboration with clients who are open to this design
mind-set, and are willing to iterate and provide regular feedback. Building
small collaborative cross-functional teams from different work streams
and disciplines and facilitating teamwork with collaborative online platforms
provide the right setup for productive Design Thinking.
Research has shown that Design Thinking works. It has increased the
working culture of organisations, improved innovation processes, helped
save costs in development and helped increase profitability.

Leadership
Interview with:
NAUDE VAN
SITTERT
SOUTH AFRICA DELIVERY
CENTRE LEAD
Tell us about yourself in a personal & professional
capacity.
I have been a part of Accenture for approximately
10 years. I have largely dealt with Client
Management, Account Management and Service
Delivery. It has been an awesome journey
thus far. Previously I was involved in Management
Consulting, working with some of the big 5
companies. I have a passion for people and
delivery at work.
My passion within the people side includes,
assisting people and adding value in people’s
lives in order for them to grow. I use my experiences
that I have gained over the years and
share them in my daily life with my colleagues. I
love mentoring and coaching people. One of my
passion’s, which I currently perform in my free
time is life coaching.
Service delivery includes what we do in Accenture.
It is our bread and butter and how we
make a living at the end of the day. I believe
that as an organisation, we need to deliver. For
me, one thing that is absolutely non-negotiable
and that is a high quality of work. Hence my
involvement in Accenture for the past 10 years
has been to focus on service delivery.
I am responsible for some of the large deals in
Accenture, these included, Application Outsourcing
as well as Business Process Outsourcing for
Operations.
I am happily married for 30 years, I am a dad to
two wonderful kids and I am becoming grandad in
January. I am a DIY fanatic and enjoy wood working,
fishing and spending quality time with my
family. Spending time with family is most definitely
what life is about for me.
Tell us more about your journey through Accenture.
I started off as a Project Manager for a SAP rollout
for EXTRATA, nine years ago. From that point
onwards, we have managed to grow the account
from a small outsourcing unit after the implementation
to one of the success stories in Accenture
with regards to creating a showcase for Application
Outsourcing in SAP. We have also in later
years transitioned some of the services to the
IDC. One of the other successes include, paving
the way for other outsourcing deals. From there,
we have managed to build a credible client relationship
model. Where we as part of our service
delivery excellence in the application outsourcing
side on SAP, have managed to create one of the
first major PPO deals in South Africa, which was
an Operations deal. This included Strategic
Sourcing as well as Accounts Payable and Procurement
Operations which was all taken over
from the client.
Thereafter, I was the Outsourcing Application
Delivery Manager (OADM) on the Operations side
and the Technology Account Lead for Glencore.
Approximately one year ago, I took up the role of
South Africa Delivery Lead for our Delivery Centre.
The latest news for me is that I am rolling off
this position and my new role entails heading up
a New Business which is called Technology for
Operations. I am thoroughly excited about this
role because this is the nature of Accenture,
where I believe that it is important to always keep
your skills relevant as an employee, grow with the
market demand and never get into a comfort
zone. As such this means revamping oneself.
Where you take up a new role and responsibilities
and you will find yourself growing in Accenture.
Every change in Accenture should be seen as an
opportunity for growth and an opportunity for the
organisation.
What was your first impression of Accenture
when you joined?
To be honest, I got so quickly involved in being
busy because I immediately started with a project.
The one thing that struck me in Accenture was its
people as well as the culture in Accenture. People
sharing is a major part of Accenture and I was
not used to people sharing so much information.
This happens to be one of the positive points of
Accenture for me because you can ask anyone
for help and they will help you. I can proudly say
that at the end of it all, it comes down to people
pulling together, taking hands and making a success
out of something.
What do you find most challenging and rewarding
about working at Accenture?
At Accenture the rewarding component for me
would be recognition and self-fulfilment, as well
as the taste of success. When I taste success
and achievement, I am personally fully rewarded.
In terms of challenges, I don’t see anything as a
challenge.
What are the key qualities you believe an analyst
should strive to have?
To The key qualities would definitely be passion,
commitment, determination and trust. Any employee
should have these qualities as it will grow
them as individuals, as well as at Accenture.
How do you successfully manage a work-life
balance?
I do believe in work-life balance. When working at
Accenture, you are responsible for your own destiny.
If you are not successful in Accenture, I do
not believe one will be successful in any other
place. I say this because in Accenture, there are
endless opportunities, and life is about taking the
opportunity, owning it, and be successful.
“...in Accenture, there are endless
opportunities, and life is about
taking the opportunity, owning it,
and be successful”.
Tell us about your top 3 interests/hobbies/
passions outside of work?
My hobbies include DIY, fishing and keeping my
wife happy. The greatest passion for me is keeping
my family and wife happy and that is by far
the highest priority for me.
What’s on your bucket list?
A dream of mine would be to buy a farm in Texas.
My entire family and I would live on this big farm
with a lot of cattle grazing on it. I would then like
to put my cowboy hat on and ride into the sunset .
Tell us something about you that is not well
known.
People think that I am this unbreakable, male
figure that can achieve anything but I break down
easily.
What do you despise in life?
I despise people who think that they are important.
I have worked with many of them in my
life, where they think the world owes them something.
Life doesn’t owe you anything. I have a
huge problem with people who look down on
other people. At the end of the day, we are all
equal and a title and a position doesn’t mean
anything. People should be recognised for who
they are and not for the title that they have.
Interviewed by:
Nolitha Sooko
Tell us about yourself and take us through
your Accenture journey to date.
I am originally from Cape Town. After high
school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study, so
I au-paired in New York for a year. Once I came
back, I knew exactly what I wanted to do, which
was study Industrial Psychology. I also majored
in French and Linguistics. During my undergraduate
studies I was also working full-time at
ABSA as a teller in order to finance my studies.
After being awarded the Mandela Rhodes
Scholarship for my Honours year, I left the bank
and focused full-time on my studies. During that
year, I was also awarded an internship on the
SAWIP (South Africa Washington International
Program) where I spent six weeks in Washington
and one week in New York in order to get
some international work experience.
During my studies I saw my career going into
HR. However, after my Honours year and getting
exposure to a lot of people, I decided to
explore something different. Then an opportunity
at Accenture came across my path. I joined
as a Strategy Analyst and after one year I
moved to Talent Acquisition as a Graduate
Recruiter. What makes Accenture special is
that you are able to move around and even
transfer internationally. It just depends on how
well you drive it.
What made you decide to move from Strategy
to Talent Acquisition?
I really loved what I was doing as a Strategy
Analyst which was Change Management, but I
really wanted to delve into HR as I hadn’t given
it a fair chance. So when the opportunity came
along to be a Graduate Recruiter and seeing
that it was with Accenture, I decided to make
the transition. As a recruiter, the people you get
exposure to is great and working with graduates
is amazing. It’s also a good way to get a
sense of how people in the market perceive
Accenture and how the actions of our people
have an impact on our brand.
Tell us a bit about Talent Acquisition. What
are you currently working on?
We are currently in the middle of Graduate
Recruitment for 2017 and determining our intake
for next year. We are in the final case
study round of the recruitment journey. Besides
being a Graduate Recruiter, I am also a recruiter
for the Node. For the Node we are currently
working out the recruitment strategy for FY17.
You often hear at Accenture that we only
recruit the best people. What do you look for
when screening potential candidates? What
are the differentiating factors which makes
someone Accenture material?
The textbook answer is that I make sure that
the skills of the applicant align to the job description.
However, what immediately catches
my eye is when someone does something different
with their CV.
Especially when you recruit for graduates and
experienced hires. People take for granted that
their qualifications or experience will speak for
them. So if someone is willing to put in effort to
look different on paper, I believe the person will be
a good fit for Accenture, as he or she will be able
to think differently for our clients. This is very important
to ensure our business and what we offer
our clients evolve.
A lot has been said about the “Workforce of
the Future” in recent times. In your opinion,
what should Accenture Talent Acquisition (HR)
focus on to adapt to a rapidly changing workforce?
I In Talent Acquisition, we need to still figure out
how we are going to cater for these new trends
such as multiple generations in the workforce,
especially when it comes to graduates. We will
have to do our research, improve our processes
and prepare the Millennials for our work environment
as it goes both ways. The Workforce of the
Future looks very complex, especially for HR. We
will have to find the balance between the expectations
of each generation. The Millennials are a
very demanding generation, who value flexibility
when it comes to work. Accenture is enabling our
employees to work remotely through 3G dongles,
laptops, Lync etc. However, our leaders, as well
as our clients’ leadership, are pre-dominantly the
Baby Boomers, who typically expect to see employees
physically at the office and putting in the
hours. Accenture has the capacity to accommodate
these differing demands and expectations,
but we will have to find the appropriate balance
that works for us.
What have been some of the highlights of your
career in Accenture thus far?
I was on one client for a year as a Strategy Analyst
which was awesome as I got to develop a lot
of relationships inside and outside the client. For
the client I helped design a display announcing the
launch of their new portal for the company. The
most exciting thing was walking into the client’s
office building and seeing something that I helped
design being displayed on their screens in the
lobby. Another accomplishment I am very proud of
is being named one of the top graduate recruiters
in South Africa as voted by students.
“Every opportunity is a
learning opportunity.”
What advice do you have for other Analysts?
What I would have liked someone to tell me when
I joined is to be open to exploring options. Accenture
is a company that can push you in a direction
where it needs you to be. But be open to having
the conversations to move where you want to be.
Furthermore, don’t take for granted that you can
still learn. Every opportunity is a learning opportunity.
Finally, don’t forget that you drive your own
career.

COFFEE RUN?
We’ve all been there. It’s Monday morning and what
feels like an hour is actually 10 minutes. It’s times
like these where the appeal of the magical elixir
known as coffee is at its greatest.
The question is, is it actually assisting you or quietly
harming you and your performance? According to
Travis Bradberry the perceived positive aspects of
caffeine are actually not that good after all. Numerous
studies have shown that caffeine does have
benefits, but these are relatively short-term. Research
conducted by John Hopkins medical school
has found that the perceived increase in an individual’s
performance is actually a person’s body returning
to a caffeine high. As such, without experiencing
a caffeine withdrawal the apparent caffeine
linked increase in performance would not exist.
Charlotte Fritz found that a coffee break is commonly
associated with higher levels of workplace fatigue.
However, this could be due to the individual
already being fatigued and slowly withdrawing from
the caffeine high. Dr. Pernille Stroebaek believes
that a coffee break forms part of the social dynamic
at work. These days asking someone if they would
like some coffee has a deeper meaning. It refers to
“let’s have a conversation”.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cup of coffee just
as much as the next guy, but the reality is managing
our coffee intake can ensure that the benefits of
caffeine are realised and the negative aspects are
mitigated. We all experience bad days at work,
coffee is not the solution to improving it. According
to Assistant Professor Cristen Harris the over consumption
of caffeine can result in anxiety and irritability.
These aren’t the best emotions to be experienced
at work, especially if you are under pressure.
Managing your consumption of caffeine can help
increase the likelihood that you enjoy the benefits of
caffeine. Harris believes that the optimal amount of
coffee to drink varies from person to person based
on a number of factors such as physical condition,
how often caffeine is consumed and body weight.
On average though it is believed that two cups of
coffee a day is acceptable. Harris states, that normal
consumption of caffeine can benefit you. Research
has found that caffeine has a positive impact
on an individual’s mood, alertness and mental fatigue.
When is the best time to drink coffee?
Research has found that the human body has a
rhythm. This rhythm is managed by what is known
as your circadian clock. This is a hormonal cycle. At
a particular point in this cycle cortisol is produced.
Cortisol is the hormone that makes a person feel
awake. Usually this occurs between 8am and 9am.
By drinking coffee before the release of cortisol
occurs, you lose out on the major benefits of caffeine,
since your body is already experiencing a
natural awakening through cortisol. It only takes 10
minutes for you to start feeling the effects of the
caffeine after your first sip. As such, the best times
to consume caffeine are 9:30am – 11:30am and
1:30pm – 3:00pm. By doing so, you ensure that you
gain the full benefit of your caffeine intake.
How to make those cups of coffee healthier?
The number one tip is to cut the sugar out. This will
not only help you be healthy, but appreciate the
taste and flavor of the different roasts of coffee.
Drink a cup of coffee after a meal. The reason for
this is that caffeine causes your body to release
sugar into your bloodstream. In turn the Pancreas
releases insulin. On an empty stomach this can
cause you to crave even more sugar.
Artificial creamers should not be consumed. They
contain a number of ingredients you don’t want in
your body. In this case the Cremora should not be
inside, but on top…..for good.
Instead of sugar, look at adding some cinnamon to
your coffee.

COFFEE HACKS
Rubbing a handful of coffee grounds
in your hands will get rid of
unwanted odour such as garlic and
salmon.
Coffee repels fleas. Rub used, damp
coffee grounds through your pet’s fur
after bathing to repel fleas without
questionable, likely-toxic chemical
treatments.
Get shiny hair. Who doesn’t want
shiny, healthy-looking hair? Coffee is
often recommended as a simple,
natural treatment to make hair extraglossy.
Unclog your drain. Use coffee
grounds, boiling water and a little
dish washing liquid. You can now
unclog your kitchen and bathroom
drains.
Cinnamon is packed with antioxidants and
health benefits such as lowering your
blood sugar levels.
All things considered it is a balancing act.
So the question is to Coffee run or not to
Coffee run? I’ll leave that up to you…

READER’S CORNER
What does it take to make a great company,
and what traits will young businesspeople
need to lead them? Jim
Collins introduced new rigor to the
evaluation of business leadership in his
instant classic Good to Great. The result
is a systematic treatise on making
a company great, with particularly interesting
findings around what Collins
calls “Level 5 Leadership” that have
changed the face of modern business.
Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly
do. Excellence, then, is not
an act but a habit.” In his exploration
of habit, Duhigg expands on this
idea, detailing how our habits are
precursors for the events that make
up our life—or business—success
story. The Habit loop, a neurological
pattern that governs any habit. It
consists of three elements: a cue, a
routine, and a reward. Understanding
these components can help in understanding
how to change bad habits
or form good ones.

JOKE OF THE MONTH | CARTOON
A man walks into a Silicon Valley pet store looking to
buy a monkey.
The store owner points towards three identical looking
monkeys in politically-correct, animal-friendly natural
mini-habitats.
"The one on the left costs $500," says the store owner.
"Why so much?" asks the customer. "Because it can
sing" answers the store owner.
The customer inquires about the next monkey and is
told, "That one costs $1500, because it can talk and
translate 18 languages."
The startled man then asks about the third monkey.
"That one costs $3000," answers the store owner.
"3000 dollars!!" exclaims the man. "What can that one
do?" To which the owner replies, "To be honest, I've
never seen it do a single thing, but it calls itself a consultant."
