Center for the Edge

The Center for the Edge, part of Deloitte LLP, helps senior executives make sense of and profit from emerging opportunities on the edge of business and technology. What is created on the edge of the competitive landscape—in terms of technology, geography, demographics, markets—inevitably strikes at the very heart of a business. Our mission is to identify and explore emerging opportunities related to big shifts that aren’t yet on the senior management agenda, but ought to be. While we’re focused on long-term trends and opportunities, we are equally focused on implications for near-term action, the day-to-day environment of executives.

We invite you to learn more about the Center and its unique perspective.

 More Featured Insights

  • The Shift Index
    Performance pressures will continue to increase for business leaders, and they must be ruthless about deciding which assets, metrics, operations, and practices have the greatest potential to generate long-term profitable growth and be willing to shed those that do not. Business leaders must continually return to the most basic question of all: “What business are we really in?”
  • Cloud Computing: A collection of working papers
    Deloitte’s Center for the Edge has spent the past year combining extensive research and industry insights to explore the topics of cloud computing and next-generation Web services. This resulting publication explores the topic from different perspectives: business drivers, architectural models, and transformation strategies.
  • Web Services 2.0
    Web service-oriented architectures do not just happen. Their development is intentional, and can be accomplished by transforming existing architectures over time, or as greenfield efforts. This Working Paper discusses architectural principles and guidelines for developing service oriented architectures from an outside-in point of view to identify characteristics of a service architecture that will deliver the potential of global web service-based platforms for tomorrow’s enterprise.
