How are methods used at Deloitte?


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.
