Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Deloitte helps clients start using their Digital Supply Network service through a structured, collaborative approach, beginning with understanding and vision setting.
Initially, clients engage in the "Imagine" phase, where Deloitte assists in establishing their Digital Supply Network vision and prioritising opportunities. This involves developing a digital supply chain roadmap and identifying potential digital technologies that could deliver a competitive advantage.
Following this, the "Deliver" phase focuses on rapid prototyping. Deloitte guides clients through developing initial beta versions of solutions, allowing for quick testing and refinement based on early feedback. A critical step in starting is the launch of "pilots" within key supply chain functions. These pilots test digital opportunities with minimal investment, providing real data for assessment.
To facilitate this, Deloitte requires specific inputs from clients, such as access to datasets, process maps of existing supply chain processes, and details of their current technology architecture. However, Deloitte is flexible, offering to discuss options and alter their approach if clients cannot provide all assumed inputs. The service is designed to be delivered "with" the client, fostering a joint working team from the outset, where client contributions like stakeholder access and timely information are crucial for a successful start. - Service documentation

- Description of customisation
-
Deloitte's Digital Supply Network services offer significant customisation, designed to adapt to each client's unique context. The offering is suitable for organisations of all sizes, allowing for tailored approaches to leverage digital innovation.
Clients can customise the service by collaborating with Deloitte to define the scope and investment balance, particularly through structured pilots that test digital opportunities relevant to their business. Deloitte explicitly accommodates situations where clients may not be able to provide all assumed inputs, such as specific datasets or process maps, by discussing alternative approaches. Similarly, the service model is collaborative ("delivered with you rather than to you"), enabling adjustments to client contributions, including resource allocation and decision-making processes.
Furthermore, Deloitte works with clients to define the specific business scope, tailoring proposals to match the scale and complexity of their situation. Clients can also choose specific service outputs based on their priorities, as deliverables vary depending on the selected components. Finally, the level of ongoing support, including responsibility for maintenance and upgrades, can be negotiated, with options for Deloitte to provide capability and knowledge transfer. This flexible framework ensures the service aligns precisely with client needs and capabilities.

The Deloitte Business Security team, as the second line of defence, includes Governance Risk & Compliance, Data Privacy, Cyber Risk, and other specialised teams. The first line Cybersecurity function, led by the UK CISO, manages cyber and technology controls.
