Loved their past work so much and I’m sad to see they’re devolving.

LEK, ZS, ClearView are all better overall
I would like to understand your capabilities in IT, open for conversation?
Corporate Strategy: McK & BCG
BU / Brand Level Strategy: trinity, Putnam, Huron, clearview, ZS, IQVIA (crowded space, but lots of brands to work on)
M&A (mostly CDD work): LEK, S&, Parthenon-EY, Bain
Sales: ZS, Syneos, IQVIA (though it’s mostly ZS)
I’ve honestly never seen Deloitte other than tech / IT / digital / supply chain strategy work.
Yup all of the firms in that category do Corp strat work for small to midsize pharma - particularly the midsize shops (Huron, Navigant) which tend to operate most heavily in this space.
But just based on what I’ve seen. All very subjective!
Not sure if I agree. We don’t run into them for strategy work, and I’ve heard D is fairly middle of the road for pharma forecasting work. Would put ZS above D in at least a few important categories.
Agree with McK above.
Not sure which street you heard that on, OP - Deloitte University Lane?
Okay let’s break it down and fill in blanks:
Pure play strategy - BCG,Mck, Clearvirew, LEK
M&A /CDD - Strategy&, Leerink, Deloitte
Commercial Ops- ZS, Deloitte, Accenture
IT - Accenture
HR- Accenture
Finance- Deloitte
Supply Chain $ Mfg - ??
For IT I'd say we're a close #2 to Accenture, HR we are #1, and Mfg / Supply Chain #1. I think there are rankings online. I know by size we are #1.
ZS also has a healthy Value and Access space. I’ve been on a few projects where do strategic transformation. We had one project where a top tier firm developed this strategy and the client was like , “This is great, but how do we execute this brilliant idea? Let’s hire ZS.” I’m using that as a playful anecdote and not a generalization. I suspect even pure strategy firms are increasingly seeing importance of strategy coupled to execution.
Supply Chain & Ops - PwC
When you say M&A is that post merger or pre CDD
I mean pre CDD, firms I listed do a ton of CDD work.
From my experience at Deloitte, 90% of my projects fall in R&D, safety, and regulatory operations and technology
We do a lot of post merger M&A, R&D, Supply Chain, Finance, and IT. We're basically in the top 3 for anything except pre CDD is pure play Strategy think ... Like utility player
