       technology-enabled" - as an accurate reflection of the position of the
       market.

Commenting on the recognition, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited CEO Jim
Quigley
said, "This recognition of Deloitte as the leader in consulting and
advisory services reflects the unique expertise, insight, and passion
Deloitte brings to its relationships with clients worldwide. Our
organization's commitment to delivering exceptional client service is at the
heart of how we succeed - and of who we are."

Jerry Leamon, DTTL Global Managing Partner, Services and Mergers &
Acquisitions, added, "Kennedy's flagship report on the global consulting
marketplace takes a comprehensive view of the market, which is consistent
with our own view. To be the only organization rated 'strong' in all the
major consulting and advisory categories is exactly where we want to be."

The report highlights a number of Deloitte's strengths:

Breadth of capabilities, geographic reach, and deep expertise

"Deloitte's strategy is to use its breadth of services, geographic reach,
and industry expertise to serve clients of all sizes with an exceptionally
well-integrated perspective and with flexibility and pragmatism."

"Deloitte's key differentiation lies in the size and the critical mass it
can bring to bear on client challenges from both within and outside its
advisory practice and across industries and geographies."

"The successful execution of Deloitte's breadth of offerings and the
application of its 'one Deloitte' approach depends on extraordinary diversity
of experience among Deloitte's member firms and among team members on client
engagements." Source: Kennedy Consulting Research & Advisory; Global

Multi-service capabilities

"Over the last five years, some firms have made a concerted effort to
promote their multi-service capabilities, demonstrating that they would drive
significant value for themselves and their clients. Deloitte stands out as a
firm that has made a significant effort in this area, including marketing its
broad and deep cross-service line capabilities to clients as its unique
'multi-disciplinary approach.'" Source: Kennedy Consulting Research &

Strategic investments

"Deloitte continues to make thoughtful investments to help drive its
future opportunities. This includes: 1) making strategic acquisitions to
bolster select practices; 2) continuing to enhance its global delivery model
to remain competitive in implementation activities; and 3) investing in staff
through the creation of learning centers such as the launch of Deloitte
University, planned for 2011." Source: Kennedy Consulting Research &

"Kennedy's report confirms that being a world-class consulting
organization requires more today than it has in the past," says Ainar Aijala,
DTTL Global Managing Partner, Consulting. "Clients have never been more
focused on value or more sophisticated in their buying decisions. It's no
longer enough for a consultant to have a one- or even a two-dimensional view.
Leading with a proven strategy and bringing a broad and deep array of
capabilities to the table are crucial to solving clients' increasingly
complex issues."
