MULLER, Guillaume Find Accenture workshop/assessment

Global Feedback

Too much freedom regarding the technical solution

Lack to monitor Accenture

Battery Feedback

Failed to accelerate with Accenture

Accenture, not expert in their domain (Junior and learning at the same time on ELN)
Business was not dedicated to take enough requirements
4 months: tight deadlines
In the end: No delivery, bad quality

Good basis for Tableau and ELN (only about the visible part)
Needs gathering and understanding
Harmonization of some practices about EP → Development of a Global GSheets
Reactive people developers because full time on the project: we saw the developments day by day
40%, 20%

Bad

Not ready on R&I side: didn't know what was possible or exactly what we wanted.
Non expert developers and several developers for the same tool → everyone did something different and they were no consistence between all the ELN templates within Coatings domain
Development not done the best way → not good development practice, poor data model with aberrant keys, a lot of actions and custom tables in Tableau,... (impossible to build on top, tried and created bugs)
Almost no documentation provided
No communication with the other domains (Batteries & Materials) → No harmonization
Always tried to negotiate about our needs, what we want, etc.
Had a contract to follow: useless and non valuable things were done (US device connection) instead of valuable things.
Too much noise: always involved everyone from Solvay in all the e-mails/meetings → people didn't know when it was important to read/come, so at the end not a lot of implication + it led to less productive meetings.
Bad user adoption/training: planed to train people, etc. but didn't do it.
Beta-testing: Asked to complete Excel files with no value (only format, colors... that they could have checked on their own) just to have a validation, but didn't take into account important feedbacks.
Everything was always urgent "for yesterday", so we weren't able to identify real urgent things from the others.
Not usable tools at the end.
