For this evaluation, we combined the segments into two broad categories: enterprise and specialised insights service providers.”

Additional findings in the Forrester report about Deloitte

• “Deloitte’s current insights services strategy started with transforming itself—in a sense, training the trainer. Its ‘cognitisation programme’ guides how Deloitte delivers its core services. How can digital full-time equivalents and hybrid assets fuel its offers? While potentially disruptive, the experience puts Deloitte in the battlefield with clients, enabling the vendor to speak not only with theory but from practice.”
• “Its strategy-led approach starts with the business objectives and prioritisation of initiatives, recognising that ‘having thousands of KPIs suggests that they are no longer ‘key.’”
• “This methodology is obvious in client engagements, all of which report a strong focus on defining business strategy and objectives and including decision makers in the process. Insights delivery mechanisms included interactive, role-based dashboards and digital twin simulations. All references report measurable positive outcomes and have expanded engagements beyond initial projects.”
