Methods are used by practitioners at all levels for varying reasons.
Partners use methods…
-
During the sales process to illustrate how Deloitte
might approach a client's problem (and assure them we have experience
in that arena)
-
As a repository that can be updated with best practices, samples,
and tools
Managers use methods…
-
At
the beginning of a project or phase, to help structure the work
and ensure they are covering all the bases
-
During
a project to help educate clients about the work to be done
Consultants and analysts
use methods…
-
To jump-start deliverables with templates, samples, and tools
-
For tips and key considerations
-
To learn more about work outside their immediate area of expertise
Our methods represent the "plain vanilla" scenario
for a given type of service. As such, a method is never a complete
recipe for any particular client situation. Instead, the method
serves as a reference or guide that is customized for each situation
in which it is used.
