<<Accenture. There's a name that says a lot!>>

adairm: Many are still trying to figure out the name <G>...thanks for sharing your insights on Mr. Forehand...I used to work for the President of a diversified media firm who was always moving around too -- lots of meetings, jet flights, cell phone calls, conf. calls. He was HIGHLY organized and didn't like to sit still very long at all. I had to get used to the 7am breakfast meetings and the sunrise flights out of Iowa (the only saving grace was when I used to travel with him I was on a company plane). Oh well, now I'm in a different chapter of my life and I have to rough it -- fly United, order my tickets on the Internet, be creative about where I stay...etc.

Back to Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting)...I have a younger sister who started working there a few months ago. She got excellent training and was staffed on a project quite quickly. The blessing is that she is on an 18-month PeopleSoft implementation for some hospitals outside of LA. By the time this project's finished the economy should be much healthier. Lets hope I'm right =)

In Chicago there is always lots of discussion about Accenture since they have a headquarters downtown. Here's the update from Crain's -- our local business newspaper...

BTW, what motivated you to leave Andersen?
