Surprise Visitor!

Craig Hodgetts is National Managing Director for Deloitte Consulting LLP's U.S. Technology practice. He oversees advisory, implementation and sustainment services, and more than 16,000 consulting technology professionals in the U.S. and India.

He's led many large-scale SAP implementations across the Americas, Asia- Pacific, and Europe, has played a Quality Assurance role on many of Deloitte’s most complex SAP projects AND the Deloitte Immersion Program is his brain-child!

He's in Hyderabad for a Board Meeting this week, and asked to have an hour of our time. (One of the neat things about Deloitte is access to the the highest levels of management and the approach they take to mentoring for success). Anyway, we dropped EVERYTHING to meet with him.

It was really inspiring to hear how important he feels this program is to our future success and for Deloitte's position as a global leader. We were blown away to discover that even though he has been with Deloitte for almost 20 years, we've already spent more time here than he has in his entire tenure!

Mr. Hodgetts is so convinced about the value of immersion, that he hopes to create similar experiences for Deloitte's Oracle, Systems Integration, Information Management and Deloitte Digital service lines.

Who knew that we seven and the eight BTAs before us are really "trail blazers" for Deloitte.
