NEW YORK, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Deloitte announced today that Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory has named Deloitte the largest
consulting provider and the largest management consulting provider globally, based on 2009 aggregate revenues
in its Global Consulting Marketplace 2010-2013 report.
Key findings:
-- Kennedy recognizes Deloitte as the largest organization by a
considerable margin, and highlights Deloitte's growth strategy and
go-to-market approach as factors contributing to the organization's
success during a difficult economic climate.
-- According to the report, Deloitte is a leader in management consulting
with extensive capabilities and depth in strategy, operations
management and human resources, as well as business advisory services
and information technology consulting.
-- The report also underscores Deloitte's mantra - "business-led,
technology-enabled" - as an accurate reflection of the position of the
market.
Commenting on the recognition, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited CEO Jim Quigley said, "This recognition of
Deloitte as the leader in consulting and advisory services reflects the unique expertise, insight, and passion Deloitte
brings to its relationships with clients worldwide. Our organization's commitment to delivering exceptional client
service is at the heart of how we succeed - and of who we are."
Jerry Leamon, DTTL Global Managing Partner, Services and Mergers & Acquisitions, added, "Kennedy's
flagship report on the global consulting marketplace takes a comprehensive view of the market, which is consistent
with our own view. To be the only organization rated 'strong' in all the major consulting and advisory categories is
exactly where we want to be."
The report highlights a number of Deloitte's strengths:
Breadth of capabilities, geographic reach, and deep expertise
"Deloitte's strategy is to use its breadth of services, geographic reach, and industry expertise to serve clients of
all sizes with an exceptionally well-integrated perspective and with flexibility and pragmatism."
"Deloitte's key differentiation lies in the size and the critical mass it can bring to bear on client challenges from
both within and outside its advisory practice and across industries and geographies."
"The successful execution of Deloitte's breadth of offerings and the application of its 'one Deloitte' approach
depends on extraordinary diversity of experience among Deloitte's member firms and among team members on
client engagements." Source: Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory; Global Consulting Marketplace 2010-

Multi-service capabilities
"Over the last five years, some firms have made a concerted effort to promote their multi-service capabilities,
demonstrating that they would drive significant value for themselves and their clients. Deloitte stands out as a firm
that has made a significant effort in this area, including marketing its broad and deep cross-service line capabilities
to clients as its unique 'multi-disciplinary approach.'" Source: Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory; Global

Strategic investments
"Deloitte continues to make thoughtful investments to help drive its future opportunities. This includes: 1) making
strategic acquisitions to bolster select practices; 2) continuing to enhance its global delivery model to remain
competitive in implementation activities; and 3) investing in staff through the creation of learning centers such as
the launch of Deloitte University, planned for 2011." Source: Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory; Global

"Kennedy's report confirms that being a world-class consulting organization requires more today than it has in
the past," says Ainar Aijala, DTTL Global Managing Partner, Consulting. "Clients have never been more focused on
value or more sophisticated in their buying decisions. It's no longer enough for a consultant to have a one- or even
a two-dimensional view. Leading with a proven strategy and bringing a broad and deep array of capabilities to the
table are crucial to solving clients' increasingly complex issues."
