Deloitte University Press

What Deloitte University Press does

Deloitte University Press was founded in 2011 as the research and publishing arm of Deloitte LLP (the US member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited). It has since been succeeded by Deloitte Insights, a branded thought-leadership platform that publishes independent research, analysis, and commentary drawn from Deloitte's practitioner network across audit, consulting, tax, and advisory. The platform serves C-suite executives, policy makers, and the business press with a globally distributed editorial operation spanning the US, UK, India, Singapore, Ireland, and South Africa.

Its core product surface consists of a flagship website hosting long-form research articles, the quarterly Deloitte Insights Magazine, the Tech Trends and Global Human Capital Trends annual report series, scheduled Dbriefs webcasts, podcasts, an email newsletter, and the MyDeloitte personalization layer. Content is produced through dedicated industry and topic research centers — covering technology, human capital, consumer and industrial products, financial services, and government — and is built on proprietary survey instruments that generate primary respondent data recurring readers cite as authoritative.

Deloitte Insights operates a free-access business model with no subscription fees, licensing revenue, or advertising. As a unit it does not generate standalone revenue; instead it functions as a marketing and brand-building asset for the broader Deloitte professional services firm, supporting lead generation, client engagement, and executive visibility for the parent practice. Its economic return is realized indirectly through engagement that translates into consulting, advisory, and audit mandates at the parent firm.
