One on One with Capgemini Consulting's Michael Schulte

By Joe Kornik

Last week, Capgemini unveiled Capgemini Consulting, a new strategic business unit and brand with more than 4,000 consultants in over 30 countries. In 2008, consulting services accounted for 8 percent—or about $1 billion—of the Capgemini Group’s total revenue. However, three quarters of that revenue was in Europe, but the firm says it plans to significantly grow its North American operations. In fact, Michael Schulte, North America Leader for Capgemini Consulting, is predicting double-digit growth for the North American market this year. Consulting’s One on One caught up with Schulte to discuss the new brand and how it will help the firm better serve its clients.

One on One with IBB's Shahid Khan

By now, you’ve undoubtedly seen the Alec Baldwin as alien advertisement that debuted on the Super Bowl for Hulu, an online video service that offers users access to television shows for free.

Virani spoke with Consulting about these oftentimes complementary efforts.
