    00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:06.190
>> My name is Argin Batey [phonetic] and
I am a managing director with Accenture.

    00:00:06.190 --> 00:00:09.760
So I have two jobs within
that industry vertical.

    00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:17.170
I lead our biotech high-growth segment,
and then I also am responsible for one

    00:00:17.170 --> 00:00:23.050
of the largest relationships that the firm
has with one of the clients in that business.

    00:00:23.050 --> 00:00:27.220
Yeah, so we start with that strategy,
an examination of that strategy,

    00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:32.830
where they're going, and oftentimes we'll
take an outside-in look at their company

    00:00:32.830 --> 00:00:34.260
through the eyes of the shareholder.

    00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:40.210
We call that "shareholder value analysis," so
we'll look at what are the drivers of value

    00:00:40.210 --> 00:00:44.380
for the organization, how does
that overlay with that strategy.

    00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:47.030
That oftentimes will give us
insights into opportunities.

    00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:51.370
You know, where they can -- where they
can do more, where they can stretch,

    00:00:51.370 --> 00:00:57.330
where can they cut, where they can grow,
and that often is a great starting point,

    00:00:57.330 --> 00:01:02.870
and those dialogs and discussions happen
with the C suite, so the CEO, the CFO, etc.,

    00:01:02.870 --> 00:01:08.220
and that then creates the roadmap
to a host of what we would call

    00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:15.280
"transformation opportunities" for us, and
some of them could be consulting oriented

    00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.340
where we do projects, some of them could be
capability oriented where we develop things,

    00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:22.800
and Accenture's got a very
broad range of services,

    00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.700
so we go from strategy all
the way to operations.

    00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:29.100
So we actually operate parts of
our clients' organizations as well,

    00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:33.010
so it's a very broad footprint,
all of it in service

    00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:36.040
of improving the company's
performance and, therefore,

    00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:37.910
helping them achieve their future aspirations.
