Eden - Data & AI Analyst

What I do at Accenture…

I work within the Data & AI practice, specifically I am part of ACG group 17 (for Data & AI analysts). I specialise in Data Strategy and have a particular interest in AI/Gen AI thought leadership.

What I wish I knew when I joined…

People don’t expect you to know everything! They do expect you to be consistent, enthusiastic and openly communicate. Use the opportunity as an analyst to ask questions, be interested and learn as much as you can.

Project journey so far…

In my first year at Accenture, I have been on 3 different projects.

Business Analyst for a Machine Learning Maturity Assessment at a Resources client (3 months)
Data Analyst for a HR Strategy project at a Telecommunications client (2 months)
Automations Workstream Lead for KPI System Rollout at a Resources client (8+ months)

Through my journey, each project has been a natural step up and pushed me further. I was given my first project as my gateway role and then got my next projects through networking/side of desk.

Books, podcast, YouTube videos or content I recommend for you…
Some book recommendations not Accenture specific but it helps to have well rounded view/knowledge here:

Factfulness by Hans Rosling
An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield
Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall
Use Accenture training – there are lots of free certifications/trainings on offers. It’s a great idea to upskill yourself if you have any bench time.
