| Makers of The Apprentice on lookout for consulting talent |
| |
|
| | Even if you've spent the
last 6 months jetting
back and forth from
client locations, few UK
readers will not have
heard of the TV series
The Apprentice.
A huge success in
both the UK and US, a | |
| |
| | second series is now
being planned. Assistant
Producer Katie Attwood
said that the TV
producers believe a
high-flying management
consultant may just have
that balance of drive,
intellect and business | |
|
| | flair needed to impress
tycoon Sir Alan Sugar.
And hence the search is
on to find a contestant
for series two from the
world of management
consultancy.
If you're not
familiar with The | |
|
| | Apprentice already,
fourteen aspiring
entrepreneurs undertook
rigorous tasks and
competed for a hefty
£100,000 job with serial
entrepreneur Sir Alan
Sugar.

communications market is
the largest in Eastern | |

2005. With mobile phone
penetration currently
standing at
approximately two-thirds
of the population, and | |
|
| | concentration in the
major conurbations
beginning to spread to
the regions, this is a
key strategic market in
Europe and one to which
LogicaCMG is committed.

| No management buy-out for A.T. Kearney |
| |
|
| | Electronic Data Systems
is planning to sell its
management consulting
arm A.T.Kearney instead
of pursuing a management
buyout as previously
planned.
EDS is in talks to
sell Kearney to | |
| |
| | Street Journal.
EDS had been in talks
with partners of the
firm interested in a
management buy-out, but
the company said last
week it was no longer
pursuing this as an
option.
| |
|
| |
Instead EDS has been
seeking a third party
buyer and a company
spokesperson has said
that the sale should be
completed by the end of
the third quarter. EDS
has so far refused to
confirm that Monitor is | |
|
| | the potential buyer. EDS
has also declined to put
a valuation on any deal,
but the Kearney is
thought to be worth less
than $500m.

Cost of Living Survey
from Mercer Human

| Convergys to acquire finance & accounting outsourcing business of Deloitte Consulting Outsourcing |
| |
|
| | Convergys Corporation, a
provider of customer
care, human resources,
and billing services,
is to acquire the
finance and accounting
business rocess | |
| |
| | subsidiary of Deloitte
Consulting. Financial
terms are not being
disclosed.
"Given our strong,
continuing outsourcing
businesses, it was a | |
|
| | difficult strategic
decision to exit the F&A
BPO market," said Robert
C. Frazzini, Managing
Director of Deloitte
Consulting Outsourcing.
"We believe, however, | |
|
| | that the decision is in
the best interests of
our clients and our
people, given Convergys'
scale, world-class
platform, and leadership
in outsourcing."

| Meridian Resources, Eaton Consulting Group merge |
| |
|
| | Meridian Resources
Associates and Eaton
Consulting Group
announced that they have
merged.
The firms say
together they have
become the largest
privately held | |
|
| | intercultural management
consulting firm, serving
more than a quarter of
Fortune 500 companies,
including all of the top
five.
As David Eaton, who
founded Eaton Consulting
Group in 1993, notes, | |
|
| | "Few intercultural
management firms can
legitimately claim to
offer one-stop shopping
to multinational
organizations - from
providing one-on-one
strategic counsel to
senior executives, to | |
|
| | developing a global
mindset among their
employees through
training and web tools.
By joining forces, we
have created a powerful
combination that can
help clients to
implement their | |
|
| | globalization strategies
with greater speed and
effectiveness, and
thereby sharpen their
competitive edge."
