At the Innovation Labs at KPMG Ignition, we help our clients, both internal and external, navigate disruption in their industries and help them chart a course forward. We live and breathe ambiguity, solving complex problems with more unknowns than knowns in an evolving business landscape. Our approach leverages qualitative and quantitative research and design thinking to understand the "why" behind signals of change and accelerate decision-making with our clients. If you're passionate about driving change using unique methods and ways of thinking, the kind of person who is curious to know how things work and will dig deeper into new topics in your spare time, then we encourage you to explore opportunities in our Innovation Labs.
