Development & implementation of a globally integrated career model for strategy consulting in PwC

Prof. Dr. Jürgen Deller first introduced Detlef Schwarting. Mr Schwarting started by explaining the history of the Booz & Company strategy consultancy, which was acquired by PwC in 2014 after over 100 years in business. He then moved on to the central theme of his lecture: career models in strategy consultancy. Developing the career model in this company was all about finding a balance between consistency and variation in terms of both countries and business segments. Mr Schwarting concluded that the top management must lead the way in implementing such global harmonisation, that all stakeholders must stand by any targeted change and that a transparent and continuous communication model is required to support the change process.
