Ecosystems and exponentials consulting

Helping companies understand, embrace, and harness disruptive change

​We live in an era of unprecedented change, driven by rapid and exponential evolution of disruptive technology and game-changing ideas. These disruptors are not decades from reality, many have already realized mainstream adoption across multiple industries (e.g., 3D printing), while others aren't far away (e.g., nanotechnology, driverless cars). While individual technologies and organizational enablers have the power to disrupt existing business models or even entire industries, their real power emerges when they converge. Deloitte has taken a sophisticated approach to this environment, and we are tailored to help companies navigate this landscape.

How we help clients leverage disruptive technologies

Our goal is to help our clients evaluate, develop, and implement their transformation agendas. We can lead clients on an exponential journey:​

 

Our portfolio of continuously evolving exponential-based offerings and solutions help clients leverage disruptive technologies to address their most important business issues and turbo-power their strategies:

  • Custom session: Helps clients understand the impact of exponentials on their business, and if defined, particular business issues and priorities. Sessions can take place at a Deloitte Greenhouse® space, at an ecosystem partner site, or at a client site.
  • Exponential assessment: Helps clients understand the key challenges facing their organization, assess how exponential technologies can be leveraged to address these challenges, and provide actionable next steps that can be used to bring innovative solutions to their business.
  • BlackOps assessment: Provides clients with perspectives, not recommendations or predictions, on how and where their business may be disrupted.
  • Ecosystem strategy: Helps clients identify, classify, prioritize potential ecosystem partners, and think through an engagement strategy.
  • Deloitte PixelTMHelps our clients leverage the benefits of crowdsourcing. Deloitte Pixel understands the client issue, decomposes it into its elements, and works with the right crowd vendor to execute the requirement and deliver a smooth experience.
  • Bridge by Deloitte: Provides clients with a marketplace-curated ecosystem of vetted innovators to help them identify new solutions to their most pressing business issues. With Bridge, a subscription-based digital platform, enterprises can connect directly with startups, monitor the innovation landscape, and foster new ideas together.
