Competitive Analysis of Deloitte
The SWOT / TOWS analysis of Deloitte is a structure to assess the internal strategic and external strategic factors that influence the company's micro and macro environment. The SWOT analysis is a beneficial technique to examine the strength, weakness, opportunity, and threats along with their influence on the current business model of the Deloitte group.
Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers(PwC), Ernst & Young(EY), and KPMG are termed as the ‘The Big four’- the biggest four professional service networks, rendering services like audit, advisory, taxation, assurance consulting, management, finance and legal services etc., around the world. Amongst these top 4 networks, Deloitte secures the number one position in terms of revenue and employee strength. Deloitte houses top-notch expertise in providing services like audit, consulting, enterprise risk, financial advisory, and tax. Some of the key strengths of the company are its huge client database, eminent market share in auditing and consulting, holding #1 rank in global consulting and management and radiating a powerful brand presence. Controversies, legal concerns, business associated disputes, low market share in emerging markets, high competition from local firms are some of the key weaknesses damaging the Deloitte brand reputation.
A recent controversy in 2017, about the encroachment of hackers into Deloitte’s database stealing the confidential information of clients, has dented Deloitte’s brand reputation. However, authorities have clarified that no confidential information was compromised. Apart from tough competition from small and large consultancies in emerging markets, security of confidential information at stake, is a major threat to Deloitte. However, there are several good opportunities in the macro environment of Deloitte viz., acquisition and alliances with new and smaller consulting firms, exploring the emerging markets, and looking forward to being a part of the global financial service sector etc.
The SWOT/TOWS analysis of Deloitte is essayed below in a SWOT Matrix followed by the detailed analysis.

Detailed SWOT Analysis of Deloitte
Strength
1. Best for consulting and advisory: Deloitte assists clients by providing services in the areas of strategy & operations, technology integration, human capital, enterprise applications and short-term outsourcing. In 2017, consulting accounted for Deloitte’s 37% of worldwide revenue share earning $14.3 billion of the revenue pie. Consulting revenue grew at 10.2 percent, due to the urgency of clients to accelerate their business model transformation in disrupted markets, and by Deloitte’s growing momentum through alliances, strategic acquisitions and investments in areas such as robotics, creative digital consulting, cognitive, artificial intelligence, the blockchain, cloud computing, and IOT. Deloitte’s audit market share of the FTSE 100 stood at 27% and it served 82% of the Fortune Global 500 Companies in 2017. The Company signed external audit reports for 15500 entities.
2. Heralding Industry 4.0: Industry 4.0 is a name for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the IoT, cloud, and cognitive computing. Now Deloitte is coming up with “SMART” strategies and solutions. Their new offerings are making them the first choice in the industry be it the rolling out of MSC for ME, Smart Columbus Operating System, iDeal and DeloitteSmartReports.com. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) due diligence was due for an upgrade, and iDeal made it happen. Introduced in FY2017, iDeal is an integrated system of analytics, tools, and approaches that extract deeper, more meaningful insights from a target’s M&A data and provides real-time answers and analyses. Also, Spotlight Analytics tool, powerful yet simple to use technology allows the auditors to perform their tasks smoothly.

Spotlight’s unique digital relationship allows it to perform audit procedures throughout the year providing exceptions and insights for the management to follow up, on a monthly basis, thus bringing issues to light at an early stage and minimizing the seasonality. iNostix by Deloitte, delivers a range of services in people analytics, including the use of algorithms that can predict the success of new hires, the performance of existing talent, and employee turnover. With these new products and services, smart and rapid reporting Deloitte is the global leader in strategy consulting.
3. Extensive global presence with several maven clients:Deloitte has the largest number of clients amongst FTSE 250 companies in the UK. Deloitte is present in 150 countries with a workforce of 263,900. 82% of the Fortune Global 500 companies are served by Deloitte.

For instance, Deloitte teamed with McLaren Applied Technologies, which is a pioneer in collecting data through sensors and using them to win automotive races, to draw upon their engineering, sensor, simulation and analytics experience to benefit clients. In FY 2017, Apple and Deloitte Consulting LLP (US) collaborated joined forces to develop a new suite of services called EnterpriseNext, which consists of tools and workshops designed to speed up the process of ideation, prototyping and evaluating mobile opportunities for iPhone® and iPad®. Deloitte has had the opportunity and capability to work with the world’s most admired brands and according to Gartner, it grabs number one spot by market share in consulting whereas Kennedy Consulting Research and Advisory places Deloitte in number one position in both global consulting and management consulting based on aggregate revenue for four years in a row

The PESTLE / STEEPL / PEST analysis report is a skeleton used to understand the impact of external factors on the macro environment that influences the business of Deloitte. The PESTLE analysis is a handy technique to analyze the existing trends in political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental spheres and their effect on Deloitte’s business model, growth trajectory, its business case, and market strategy.
The Big-four’s services are high in demand after Brexit, as companies are uncertain about how this political move will impact their respective businesses in short and long-term and are seeking help from the professional service sectors. This provides a boost to Deloitte’s business, atleast for a short term. The company is trying to meet the crisis by developing tools and strategic teams to offer advisory services.
With rapidly developing technology, digital disruptions have affected industries and business models and the professional service sector is also influenced by this digital transformation. Finding skilled professionals to meet the changing demands of clients, is indeed challenging and this is one of the main reasons for witnessing a dip in the economy of the consulting industry. To surmount this problem, Deloitte like its competitors is hosting skill-building and recruitment strategies like “Talent for survival”, “3D opportunity for talent gap” and others.
Today, the audience is actively using social media platforms hence for Deloitte, as a professional services company, it is imperative to have a strong brand presence on the social media, not only to create brand awareness but also to engage their clients and strengthen their client-relationship alongside monitoring their competitor’s performance. Deloitte has been slapped with many lawsuits; amongst them is a legal issue where the company faces a $7.6 billion trial over the liquidation of the Taylor Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. Deloitte started its green journey from 2008 and has set environmental targets to be sufficed by 2020. Deloitte has successfully reduced carbon emission (by optimizing their buildings), production of waste, paper usage, energy and water usage.
The PESTLE / STEEPL / PEST analysis of Deloitte is presented below in a nutshell followed by the detailed analysis report.

1. European Market after Brexit
2. Trump administration policies

1. Social Media involvement: The way we interact with organizations is changing due to the rise of mobile. Communication is more instantaneous and direct nowadays. Organizations are facing challenges in meeting these changing expectations. Deloitte’s Cognitive Engagement team supports in overcoming these challenges and they are developing robust capabilities to monitor and manage the social media risks.
2. Blockchain and advanced payment technologies: Blockchain technology can improve several processes within the financial sector, such as cross-border payments. The transfer of money has always been a tedious and slow process for cross-border payments. Deloitte is looking into blockchain and cryptocurrency as the future methods of payment.
3 . Blockchain and advanced payment technologies: As new technologies, such as IoT, AI, robotics, and AR/VR/MR proliferate, organizations are coming under pressure to rethink not just their technology strategy but their entire operational strategy. These will take customer engagement to another level and Deloitte is heavily investing in it. Some of Deloitte’s products are, Turnkey IoT, Retail 360, DFACT, CSF, TP Digital DoX etc.
