I work in a technology area of a very large organization. I am a (generalist) manager of a small team of (technical) specialists that consult on massive projects.
My resume updates include accomplishments re: people management/ coordination/ coaching/ delegation/etc. but seem to lack the impact of the "impressive"/more-quantifiable achievements of those I manage. I'm concerned that at some point, I'll have a very abstract set of achievements to point to in an interview.
How to create/identify/describe the achievements of this role?
project results
If your team mainly consults on projects, then their consultation has a direct impact on the results of those projects. Use the project impact and trace that back to your team and your management of them.
Also, what are you measuring for your team for performance?

demonstrating results and achievements
Thanks, John. Good advice.
That's my plan--and I agree!--just feels a little..."borrowed". Good question re: what's measured and I've set objectives for cost reduction/avoidance, simplification, success of key initiatives, etc. in an effort to (a) signal what's important, (b) quantify success, and (c) demonstrate their value beyond simply anecdotal evidence.
