KPMG Announces New Strategy Group

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- KPMG LLP, the audit, tax and advisory firm, today announced the formation of KPMG Strategy to address growing demand in the marketplace for integrated, end-to-end transformation solutions. KPMG Strategy helps organizations evolve, create long-term value, and gain competitive advantages through dynamic, enterprise-wide transformation strategies.

"In today's global landscape, demand for large-scale, transformational change continues to accelerate. Having an effective strategy is imperative for organizations to stay ahead of disruptions in their markets and to realize sustainable value over time," said Lynne Doughtie, KPMG LLP vice chair, Advisory. "KPMG Strategy addresses this need head on through a full suite of strategy offerings that are closely integrated with the broad capabilities across KPMG."

This approach is well aligned among KPMG International member firms around the world, which currently advise approximately one-third of Fortune 100 companies on strategy. The ability to bring this strong breadth and depth of capabilities is crucial for multinational organizations requiring globally relevant insight and execution.  

"Particularly for large, global organizations, strategy is at the heart of transformation," said Mark Goodburn, Global Head of Advisory, KPMG International.  "And the real, fundamental value for clients comes from continuing to link strategy through implementation. By integrating the strategy team tightly with the rest of the firm, clients receive truly differentiated insight that allows them to transform with focus and agility," added Goodburn.

KPMG Strategy, which is aligned with the firm's extensive industry capabilities, uses data and analytics to develop and execute new strategies to improve clients' business growth and performance; advise them on their business models and capital allocation; and help them evaluate macroeconomic forces, sector dynamics and competitive positioning.

Top Strategy Talent Across Industries; Differentiated Approach

KPMG Strategy was formed through the realignment of KPMG's current roster of top strategy partners and the addition of leading senior strategy consultants and professionals from outside the firm. The team includes individuals with significant industry experience in Energy, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Industrial Manufacturing, Technology and Financial Services, among others. As a recognized leader in Risk Consulting, KPMG also brings a differentiated ability to deliver strategy work within industries where regulation drives transformation, such as the Financial Services and Healthcare & Life Sciences sectors.

"The unprecedented scope and complexity of the market forces facing our clients is compelling them to fundamentally change how they are interacting with their customers, business partners and employees," said Doughtie.  "The exceptional talent joining KPMG Strategy further builds on our ability to provide a truly end-to-end, integrated service offering to help our clients address these needs."

Added Goodburn, "Traditional strategy consulting services focus primarily on business model components such as customers, markets and products, without deep review of the linkages and operating model implications, often creating disconnects between strategic direction and execution. KPMG Strategy's proprietary methodology and tools are designed to help ensure the connections between strategy, business model and operations are fully in sync, which we believe is critical to driving successful strategic change."
