Business transformation strategy: Own the disruption
Executives considering transforming their businesses have questions. Deloitte can help provide answers. New technological breakthroughs, shifting market demands, changing competitive strategies, new regulatory requirements, and more activist investors are just some of the forces continuously impacting businesses today. Deloitte can help your organization rethink, redesign, and move forward with fundamental changes to your business and operating models that can help you reduce expenses, embark on a new strategic direction, and maximize value amid disruption.
New challenges, technologies, and competitors mean that disruption is happening faster than ever and businesses need to keep pace with—or ideally get ahead of—the changing environment to remain viable and profitable. Designing, implementing, and following a comprehensive approach to business transformation (BT) can help your organization make the most of the opportunities created by disruption.
How we deliver
Business transformations don't take place in a vacuum. That's why we rely on key alliances with industry leaders such as Apple, SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, HPE, Google, IBM, and others to create comprehensive ecosystems that address every aspect of a client's transformation needs. Our open approach allows us to provide innovative, forward-thinking solutions that leverage emerging technologies like the Internet of Things, robotics, and cognitive learning to transform your organization and even your industry.
In September 2017, Forrester Research named Deloitte a leader in Business Transformation Consulting, positioning Deloitte highest in both the current offering and strategy categories of the evaluation. Among highlights in the report, author Mark Cecere described our transformation practice: “Deloitte has become the model consulting firm for business transformations today ...

Six keys to business transformation
Business transformations require bold thinking and an honest assessment of an enterprise's goals and limitations. Success relies on the thinking and actions to identify, unlock, and drive new value across the enterprise. Some specific keys to achieving this include:
- Be strategic: Articulate a clear, testable thesis of how the enterprise will win through this transformation. Make strategically sound choices and aggressively pursue them.
- Understand your capabilities: Do you have the processes, resources, and talent to achieve the new goals you've set? Which organizational capabilities are most essential for your transformed business to succeed and how do they stack up relative to where you need them to be?
- Drive value: Be explicit in defining the step-change value you will create, how and when you'll get it, and how you will relentlessly measure progress to full value realization.
- Build in sustainability: Re-orient your organization to embrace change and new ways of delivering value.
- Be agile and flexible: Keep current with the ever-changing environment and your transformation progress. Be willing to change sequencing, pace, and focus when circumstances dictate.
- Invest in talent: Hand pick your transformation leaders. Free them to focus on the transformation and visibly support them at key inflection points.
