Benefits of experience

Having experienced consultancy work can strengthen your in-house effectiveness

 
When talking to my intern for this summer, I asked him what was his motivation for getting his first taste of our profession in an in-house department rather than with an agency. He was quite clear in his answer, pointing out his personal interest in the company itself and explaining that he would like his next internship to take place at a public organisation so that he could widen his understanding about how they function. His words caused me to reflect on my own career path and experience working for an agency and an in-house department.
