Ignition Calgary

KPMG Ignition Calgary is an innovation centre within an innovation centre. Located in the Platform Innovation Centre—a single point of access to resources, supports, programming and events to help start-ups and high-growth ventures successfully launch and grow their business—we’re at the heart of Calgary’s technology ecosystem.

Here, we leverage KPMG’s tools, technologies and expertise to help businesses arrive at innovative solutions that move them into the future in meaningful ways. At each step of the way, we facilitate collaboration and apply the methodologies necessary to co-create solutions for your business with measurable impact, whether in person, virtually or in a hybrid format.

Together, we explore the art of the possible and what transformation means for your people, processes and technology. Our sessions demonstrate what you can achieve and how technology, applied analytics, data visualization and intelligent automation can support you.

• A deeper understanding of the market dynamics and future horizon of your sector
• A clearer view of what is possible, and the broader questions you need to tackle
• A deeper understanding of which solutions can address your business challenges
• A clearer understanding of the case for change
• Confidence in what you need to do next
  

Through a mix of co-creation, design theory and systems thinking, we explore a specific business challenge in a high-energy session that culminates in shaping a clear action plan that delivers results. Together, we help build solutions that have the emotional backing of your team—helping you achieve more in days than would normally be possible in months.

• A clear articulation of your business challenge
• Alignment on a potential solution or list of co-created solutions
• An action plan that sets out next steps
• Alignment across a large stakeholder group on the way forward
• Real momentum and engagement in the delivery of the solution after the experience

We give you a space where your team can work alongside our professionals. We help you build and test a prototype, proof of concept or minimum viable product, and can apply our approach to validate process blueprints or dashboards.

• A prototype, proof of concept, minimum viable product or customer journey map
• Important feedback, learning and insights to inform investment decisions
