NEW YORK, NY, USA, 26 June 2017 — Deloitte announced today that ALM Intelligence has named it as the clear leader in Digital HR Transformation Consulting. In the report, entitled Digital HR Transformation Consulting 2017, Brendan Williams, Associate Director, Lead for Digital Consulting Research at ALM, highlights, “Deloitte’s position as the clear leader in this market reflects the firm’s success in combining the strengths of its Human Capital practice (a well-established leader in more traditional HR transformation consulting capabilities) with the digital expertise of Deloitte Digital (one of the leading digital consulting agencies).”

“Unprecedented changes to the workforce and business are presenting new challenges, as well as an opportunity to redefine the future of HR,” said Brett Walsh, Deloitte Global Human Capital Leader. “Deloitte is honoured to receive this accolade which illustrates our organisation’s commitment to preparing Chief Human Resource Officers to take a leading role in the digital transformation of their businesses.”

This spectrum of demands serves as the basis for Deloitte’s research, services and investments,” added Michael Stephan, Deloitte Global HR Transformation Leader. “It is through this work and these investments that Deloitte is able to help clients realise a sustainable, digital-ready HR organisation which will help businesses unlock the potential of the workforce.”

Deloitte has standardised or codified a number of key elements of its Digital HR Transformation Delivery Model, such as its Digital DNA framework, which the firm uses to assess the digital maturity level and identify future goals for each client; its High-Impact HR Operating Model; its Deloitte Pixel crowdsourcing platform; and its NextGen Process Design methodology.”
