Deloitte Tax Lab Experiences

Tax Executive Transition Lab™

Today’s tax executives own an imposing leadership agenda: Stay ahead of global compliance, make sense of tax reform, contribute strategic insights to the C-suite, bring together people with technology to augment, and amplify their collective capabilities. When you’re new to this complex tax leadership role, a smooth and efficient transition can be essential for near-term effectiveness and long-term success.

Our transition tax lab is a one-day experience designed to help emerging tax leaders hit the ground running with a personalized approach to their new role. We tap into our proprietary research on successful executive transitions to help you define and communicate your tax leadership priorities, assess and develop a talent strategy, understand and influence key stakeholders, and develop a plan for putting it all into action.

Deloitte Tax Lab Experiences

Tax executives today find themselves in a new reality. Faced with accelerating globalization, growing regulatory and business complexity, and evolving technology, business leaders are asking for more strategic insights from the tax department. To deliver this next-level value, tax leaders may need to change the way they lead and how their teams operate. The tax departments that will thrive in the future will pair people with technology to amplify their collective impact, embrace new workforce models, and connect more closely to the business. But these wholesale changes are hard to implement.

Deloitte’s Tax Lab Experiences can help you get started. Our customizable one-or two-day live interactive sessions enable tax leaders and their teams to step outside the business as usual to address complex challenges. During a tax lab experience, we can help you identify and gain alignment for your organizational goals and develop an actionable road map for making the operational, technology, and talent changes you need to realize them.
