Kaisen will operate under the name “Deloitte Leadership.” The move is a critical milestone in Deloitte’s strategy to deliver world class leadership services to its clients globally.

Deloitte Leadership will offer its global client base access to a full range of leadership services, including leadership strategy, unique assessment tools such as in-depth psychological profiling, and leadership and management development. The new business’s approach to leadership is a research-based framework, which is founded on more than 20,000 in-person leader psychological assessments, identifying the capabilities leaders need. According to Deloitte’s “Global Human Capital Trends 2015” report, 86 percent of business and HR executives rate leadership as an urgent or extremely urgent issue. At the same time, only 13 percent of leaders believe they are doing an excellent job developing leaders at all levels.

“This transaction is a major milestone for the Deloitte Human Capital practice, as it will allow us to offer tailor-made services to clients that seek to strengthen their leadership capabilities”, explains Basil Sommerfeld, Partner and Operations & Human Capital Leader at Deloitte Luxembourg. “Today’s leadership development market is very fragmented and characterized by different services aimed at particular areas, such as coaching. There is a clear need for a provider that can deliver an all-encompassing, holistic solution”.

Deloitte Leadership, launching off of a long standing global alliance between the two companies, brings together Deloitte’s current leadership consulting practice and experience with Kaisen’s market-leading assessment methodology, intellectual property and tools.

While this transaction is formally being made by Deloitte UK, Kaisen is recognized globally and will work with Deloitte Consulting LLP clients in the US, UK and across Deloitte’s network of member firms. Kaisen has 25 years of experience working with senior leaders in more than 40 countries.
