Build a future with digital at its heart

Bring together people, insight and technology

Digital transformation can’t be achieved with technology alone. It takes human insight and experience, too. You get that from our subject matter experts. You also get access to the latest technology from us and our alliance partners, allowing you to seize opportunity in an era of disruptive change.

Accelerate ideation, work and design

This time of uncertainty demands business works to a new speed. KPMG Ignition enables you to achieve your goal in just weeks, days or even hours. Our innovative methods, tools and environments are designed to help you frame and solve problems fast. And you don’t miss out on the critical conversations needed to drive powerful and lasting outputs.

Drive tech-enabled co-creation

We use sophisticated data analytics, together with a range of technology capabilities including data science, data visualisation, analytics, artificial intelligence and product engineering to deliver digitally-enabled, modern solutions.

Collaborate and co-create

Whether participating in person, virtually, or a hybrid model of both, we create an environment that works for your team and promotes powerful co-creation. We’ve designed a series of physical and online spaces to foster organic collaboration.

Where should you go next?

Together, we’ll explore the art of the possible. Our interactive session will demonstrate what you can achieve with today’s technology, exploring the capabilities of digital and applied advanced analytics, data visualisation and intelligent automation.

You’ll leave with:

A clear view of what’s possible, and the wider questions you need to tackle.
Examples to share with your wider team to help you drive the next steps.
A deeper understanding of the market dynamics and future horizon of your sector.

Tailored transformation insight

What would transformation mean for your people, processes and technology? We ground our thinking in the reality of your business. We show you how innovative ideas can transform how you operate and improve employee and customer experience.

You’ll leave with:

A better understanding of which solutions can address your business challenges.
A clear understanding of the case for change.
Confidence in what you need to do next.

Facilitated thinking to frame a problem and shape a solution fast

Through a Breakthrough session, you’ll uncover new ideas and align on approaches and solutions to take forward. Together, we explore a specific business challenge in a high energy session that culminates in shaping an action plan that delivers results.

You’ll leave with:

A clear articulation of your business challenge.
Alignment on a potential solution or list of solutions.
An action plan that sets out next steps.

Rapidly solve your most complex challenges

To spark real change, you need to think and work differently. The key is outcome-focussed collaboration. You’ll need a robust, innovative approach, the right people and a stimulating environment that generates new ideas. U-Collaborate is a mix of co-creation, design theory and systems thinking.

Together, we’ll build solutions that have the emotional backing of your team – helping you achieve more in days than would normally be possible in months.

You’ll leave with:

Co-created solutions to complex business challenges.
Alignment across a large stakeholder group on the way forward.
Real momentum and engagement in the delivery of the solution after the experience.

Make your innovation a reality

How does a new solution, process or idea become a successful part of your business? That’s the tricky bit and, unsurprisingly, the point where many advisors quietly step back. Not us. We give you a dedicated space where your team can work alongside our experts. We can help you build and test a prototype, proof of concept or minimum viable product. Or we can apply our approach to validate process blueprints or dashboards.

You’ll leave with:

A prototype, proof of concept, minimum viable product or customer journey map.
Important feedback, learning and insights to inform investment decisions.
Validation of your business case and strategic direction.
