Screenager++ : Indonesia digital consumer survey 2016 - AccentureAccenture ASEAN
Screenagers own multiple digital devices and have insatiable appetite for real-time information, new experiences, and constant connectivity. And they cut across age groups.
In this report, Accenture surveyed 1,000 respondents in Indonesia and identified five trends in its digital consumer market. They are 1) The multiplier effect, 2) You, me & IoT, 3) Lost in transmission, 4) The way you make me feel, and 5) The brand engagement.
Communications, media and technology companies need to have a profound understanding of this important customer to stay ahead. They need to deliver a safe and unique brand experience, a clear value proposition, and user interaction that meets or exceeds the ever-increasing expectations of screenagers.

I had no idea what management consultancy was
all about until ljoined McKinsey & Co Malaysia
(McKinsey thereafter) as an intern last September.
The opportunity arose during a 12-week initiative
by McKinsey to promote social entrepreneurship
culture among university students in Malaysia.
McKinsey is a global management consulting firm j
that serves leading businesses, governments and ;
non-governmental organisations. I was assigned to T
a government-supported project to recruit high-
performing companies with the intention of boosting
the export growth of the country.
My role was similar to a new graduate analyst; carrying
out research, analysis, and preparing workshops which
were aimed at improving the skills and knowledge of the
participating companies, and assisting in the preparation
of the outcome reports to the client.
My 5-month internship experience in McKinsey provided
valuable insight into the management consultancy
industry. McKinsey's working culture of entrusting its
people with responsibilities really impressed me as I was
given heavy tasks and duties as well. The flat-structure
system in McKinsey enabled me to approach anyone
easily, even the Partners and Junior Partners.
The team dynamics in McKinsey is very strong as all team
members would support each other when necessary.
When there was a problem or issue to be solved, the
team would have a Problem-Solving (PS) session where
all team members would brainstorm, exchange opinions
and discuss potential solutions together. Being involved
directly in the discussions and decision-making process
made me feel like I was part of the team.

Of course, besides working hard to strive for the project
deadlines, we would also find ways to release stress by
going out for meals, watching movies, going for karaoke
sessions or even having sporting activities such as
badminton after work. Through these team events, we
understood each other better and improved our team
chemistry.
My advice is to have the right mindset when you step into
the working world. Be physically and mentally prepared
for long working hours. Timelines are very important in
the consultancy industry as it has many deadlines. Do not
expect to have "Work-Life Balance", instead you'shall have
"Work-Life lntegration". "There are no stupid questions, but
there are stupid people who do not ask questions and
make silly mistakesi'Whenever there are opportunities for
you to learn, do not waste them.
Grab the chance and perform your best. An inspirational
quote taken from "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho:
"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible
to achieve; the fear of failure". By pushing yourselves to
the limit, without fear of failure, you will be able to achieve
wonders and learn more during the process.
