PEOPLE | LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

It wouldn ’ t be a stretch to suggest Deloitte ’ s Project 120 is a gamechanger when it comes to companies investing in their people . This huge , US $ 1.4 billion programme is aimed at setting a new industry standard for learning and development ( L & D ) which , for decades , has either been overlooked , badly handled or neglected by big businesses .

Project 120 , whose name references the top speed of thought – 120 metres per second – is curating highly personalised L & D pathways to develop critical tech and leadership skills among Deloitte ’ s growing workforce . The hope is that this transformative strategy will prepare employees for future demands , ensuring they stay ahead of the curve , while simultaneously developing the next generation of leadership figures .
Already , more than a million hours of training have been delivered , focusing on the future application of technology such as AI , cloud , cyber , data analytics , 5G and quantum computing – all through the Deloitte Technology Academy ( DTA ).
This perfectly complements the work being done at Deloitte University , which continues to grow the world ’ s best leaders .
