IDC MarketScape has named Deloitte a leader in Canadian organizational and change consulting services

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) is pleased to announce that Deloitte has been named a leader in Canadian organizational and change consulting services in the IDC MarketScape: Canadian Organizational and Change Consulting Services 2013 Vendor Analysis (doc #CA2CAS13, December 2013) report.

The report assesses the capability and business strategy of many of the leading business consulting firms. The report notes that when reading an IDC MarketScape graphic, “positioning in the upper right of the grid indicates that providers are well positioned to gain market share. For the purposes of analysis, IDC divided potential key strategy measures for success into two primary categories: capabilities and strategies.”

The report notes: “Deloitte's human capital portfolio is well aligned with global offerings (part of the One Deloitte strategy), supporting customers with offerings in strategic change, organizational design, talent management, facilitation services, and HR transformation. Each of these offerings supports multiple sub-offerings, positioning Deloitte as one of the providers with the most complete set of solutions in the organizational and change consulting services market.”

“We’re thrilled to be named a leader in Canadian organizational and change consulting services," says Heather Stockton, partner, Deloitte Canada human capital practice leader. “This recognition shows the power of Deloitte in bringing the best thinking, project experiences, and learning to our local markets. It’s an important reminder that we are part of a world class organization – globally and in Canada – with a focus on bringing strategic and innovative people solutions to our clients.”
