Our guest today is Mark Smyth from Accenture.

Mark, you are very welcome to the podcast. Could we with start a brief introduction and how you ended up in consulting?

1.Would you consider yourself generalist or a specialist, a T shaped or π shaped person?

2.What tips would you give someone starting out as a consultant?

3.Comment on the consultant as problem-solver.

4.Do you ever admit the limits of your knowledge?

5.Is it enough to know a little about a lot and a lot about one thing in particular? 

6.Is failure an option? How do you deal with it?

Okay, well, I think we can wrap up there.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences today.
