The report states that: “Clients describe KPMG as an organization that listens carefully to their needs and as a steadfast transformation partner supporting clients' long-term success.” And “KPMG's assessment methods and playbooks provide a practical baseline for organizations making operation model shifts. The company exhibits patience through its willingness to listen and sense a problem instead of rolling through a set approach with clients.”
We are proud of the commitment that KPMG firms have demonstrated in building a leading Operations Improvement capability focused on helping clients achieving lasting change through adopting leading practice and digital transformation.
The report mentions: “KPMG is seen as a practical and patient firm that can pivot when necessary. These three aspects are not always possible with business consulting providers that support operations improvement work.”
KPMG firms are able to harness their extensive operational improvement expertise and combine it with KPMG’s suite of digital transformation solutions.
KPMG’s Operational Improvement capabilities offer both breadth and depth. Covering the broad range of organizations’ critical functions, including (but not limited to) Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, Marketing Sales and Service, KPMG firms help clients transform by starting with the model answer, based on KPMG’s deep functional expertise and KPMG’s functional target operating models - pre-configured for the leading technology platforms.
KPMG firms bring the power of the KPMG network to help clients bring their strategy to life by harnessing the Connected. Powered. Trusted. Suite of technology solutions to enable enterprise and functional transformation, laser focused on value creation and the delivery of differentiated customer experiences. We believe that our approach, solutions, and commitment to clients set us apart.
The report concludes “KPMG is a good choice when you are looking for a practical operations improvement provider that can pivot to your needs. The company is suitable for organizations looking for global operational improvement in building modern, intelligent, resilient, trusted enterprises that deliver value. The company provides a phased plan to deliver capabilities and implementation execution support to launch and enhance solutions. KPMG's approach is appropriate for lower-maturity organizations that need a lot of support and guidance and higher-maturity organizations seeking a provider that can collaborate on their near and long-term visions. The company can support both types of clients due to its willingness to ask questions and listen to client needs.”
We are thrilled to see KPMG’s recognition in this research. It reflects the know-how that KPMG consultants bring to our clients, rooted in deep industry experience, to help them through their most complex operational improvement and customer experience transformations. At KPMG, we work shoulder to shoulder with each client to implement enduring operational improvement to create lasting enterprise value.
