According to the dictionary, a method is "a
set of processes, techniques, or approaches employed in the
solution of a problem."
At Deloitte, methods are rich
information repositories that describe how to deliver a standard
service offering. The three key components in a method are:
- Deliverables—What
is delivered on the project
- Activities—How
to create the deliverables
- Tools—Accelerators
to speed and enhance deliverables
Our methods are deliverables-driven,
meaning the focus is on what must be produced. This focus keeps methods
lean—everything in a method contributes to client deliverables.
