New York, NY, 4 February 2016 – Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) is pleased to announce that Kennedy Research has named Deloitte member firms (Deloitte) a global leader—appearing furthest to the right of the Vanguard for “breadth of capabilities”— in Leadership Development Consulting in their report entitled Leadership Development Consulting 2015.
Specifically for Deloitte, Kennedy notes, “Deloitte has enhanced its Vanguard status on the basis of having achieved its goal of building a global and fully integrated leadership development service offering, announced this year with the acquisition of assessment consulting boutique Kaisen.”
Dimple Agarwal, the Deloitte Global Leader for Organization Transformation & Talent says “our research consistently shows that leadership is a top priority for both business and HR leaders. We are delighted that there is recognition of our member firms’ tailored leadership services that drive measurable uplift in performance for individual leaders, teams and the organization.”
The report examines how organizations are innovating and going to market, not only to capitalize on the consulting opportunity, but also to place a differentiated stake in a crowded ecosystem. Kennedy’s research assesses the leadership development consulting capabilities of 25 organizations representing a cross-section of those operating in the global marketplace. According to Kennedy, “Leadership development consulting addresses the design and execution of strategies to identify, develop, and retain a pipeline leaders who can drive the strategic agenda of the organization.”
