'Next generation' | Can Deloitte's exec team overhaul help HR ace succession planning?

Deloitte has switched up its UK executive team, ushering out half of the current leaders to make way for new blood, in a bid to create the “next generation of leaders”.

The Big Four firm has announced a number of new appointments to its UK Executive, whose skills and experience the company says “will help the firm continue to deliver growth while investing for the future through skills, innovation and digital adoption.”

Eight of the current team will make way for six new partners, who will be part of a downsized executive list of 14.

Appointed by Senior Partner and CEO Richard Houston, who was recently re-elected in his role until 2027, each member of the UK Executive takes responsibility for leading an area of the firm’s operations and strategy, alongside client delivery and people development.
