Deloitte named a global leader in Change Management by Kennedy

New York, NY, 22 February 2013 — Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL) is pleased to announce that Deloitte has been named a global Vanguard Leader, based on capabilities by Kennedy in their Change Management Consulting Market Report.

The report is the first of its kind and covers global market trends and issues and evaluates market players. The evaluation is based primarily on service capabilities breadth and depth, client satisfaction, and market eminence.

Simon Holland, Strategic Change & Organizational Transformation, Global Leader, DTTL, commented: “The business challenges today are vast and complex, which increases the margin of error at scale. When things were less complex, problems could be relatively contained, but now a small mistake reverberates across the world. That drives the need for a very different approach to managing change. You have to be more precise. You can’t leave things to chance. You really have to get in and understand the objective issues as well as what people are thinking and feeling.”

“Deloitte is an innovative leader and is pioneering the use of data analytics in change programs to develop targeted strategies and create precise solutions that yield measurable outcomes. Buyers of Deloitte’s change management services are largely based in the C-suite. As a result, Deloitte member firms’ change consultants are seasoned at having executive-level conversations that focus on value and solutions that achieve results,” said Holland.

Key findings:

• “At the leadership level, Deloitte’s As One methodology provides executives with an archetype-driven playbook for leading change, and the [Deloitte’s] agile project management model helps it adapt quickly to a client’s or program’s changing needs.”
• “Deloitte is an innovation leader and is pioneering the use of data analytics in change programs to develop targeted strategies and create precise solutions that yield measurable outcomes.”
• “Deloitte infuses its change management approach with innovation based on a solid foundation of theory and practice.”
• “Deloitte is an agile organization and has refined its ability to scale and deliver transformation projects globally. Project teams are sourced and mobilized rapidly from the [Deloitte’s] global network of member firms. Team composition is adjusted throughout a project so that clients have sufficient headcount in the talent needed at any given phase of the project.”
