Three rules for strategy at Deloitte Consulting: Secrets of long-term, sustainable success

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

A lot has been written of the consequences of the global financial crisis (GFC) in the late 2000s – who was to blame, who should have seen it coming, who didn’t see it coming and who claimed to have predicted it years later. Such speculation has contributed to what might be termed a “global crisis of confidence”, as all the established rules went out of the window. Business leaders didn’t know who to trust any more, and decision-making suddenly got a lot more difficult as a result.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
