Role description
Monitor Deloitte’s Digital Strategy team, ranked #1 globally by both Kennedy Research and Forrester, works with senior executives in the public and private sectors to design strategies which will radically improve growth in shareholder value through digital. We combine the robust research and analysis of traditional strategy consulting with the creativity and lean approaches deployed by the start-up community to align executives around a digital vision, and develop portfolios of initiatives which will enable them to deliver it in rapidly changing markets. We focus on delivering sustainable value for our clients and our projects address the most pressing strategic issues in business today.
Although all of our projects are different, we commonly answer strategic questions including:
- What is our digital aspiration and purpose and how do I align the leaders in my business around this?
- How do I structure my business to drive growth and innovation in this context?
- How and when should I invest in digital?
Our recent engagements include:
- Developing a new commercial proposition for a global fashion brand, looking to optimise sales and engagement through digital
- Launching a digital venture for a global technology brand looking to enter the health market in the UK
- Developing the digital strategy and investment priorities for one of the largest UK County Councils, to facilitate end-to-end redesign of service delivery

- Working with a major transport organisation to refocus and improve the way digital services are delivered, including demonstrating how this can be achieved through prototyping and agile principles
- Establishing the Deloitte Incubator, a programme to invest and grow new start-up businesses
We have also published a range of research papers around digital, including:
- Digital DNA ? an exposition of best practice in digital leadership, culture and transformation practices
- Customer segmentation in a digital world ? the role of digital in developing more sophisticated customer analytics, undertaken in collaboration with Facebook
- The cloud and SMBs ? an analysis of the role of cloud-based applications in accelerating the growth of SMBs, undertaken in collaboration with Google
