The relentless pace of the digitization of the business world is only accelerating as new technologies enable ways of doing things that weren't thought possible before. But the break-neck speed of innovation has created a bevy of consulting opportunities for firms who are already fluent in digital. Dee Burger, newly minted CEO of Capgemini Consulting North America, says that digital is no longer simply a service offering or part of their business—it is their business. Consulting sat down with Dee to talk about how Capgemini is recalibrating to help clients meet these new challenges and more.
Consulting: You've been with the firm more than 25 years, what's been keeping you busiest so far as North American CEO?
Burger: We've had a very good consulting business for a long time but we've got a vision to take it to an entirely new place now. My first five months in the role we've restructured the team, narrowed our focus to place our bets in fewer places more intensely and are really working to make sure we're maintaining the consulting business' unique identity but also getting much closer to the how do you become great at consulting around businesses using technology angles, which is really where our sweet spot is.
