For accountancy firms
In 2015 Deloitte acquired Kaisen Consulting, a leadership development company. In 2021 EY acquired Lane4, another leadership development company. PwC has its in-house Global Centre for Transformative Leadership. KPMG runs KPMG Learning Services.
BDO, Grant Thornton, and many other big firms also have a leadership development arm.
All now sell leadership development to their clients as part of their advisory work.
Selling more to existing clients will always be quicker growth than adding new business and it also has the benefit of increasing new business value when you do get it. If you’re already selling business advice, HR or payroll services it’s a closely related add-on to the same buyer you already have a relationship with.
For most firms, building that capability in-house would mean recruiting specialists and writing programmes from scratch, which is a large commitment for an uncertain return. Or making a pricey acquisition.
We can offer you a simpler route. Organisations have been trusting us since 1987 to help develop their leaders. Our leadership programme has been described as life-changing, consistently has an NPS of 98, and led Beijer Ref to name us their UK and Ireland Supplier of the Year.
You can build your own leadership development division powered by our award-winning Quarterdeck Leadership Programme.
You can add leadership and management consultancy to your advisory service under your firm’s name. Whether you want to outsource everything to us or have us help you build your own capability in-house.
For your firm, this means new advisory income without adding headcount or new business, and developing stronger relationships with your existing clients.
