We’re different in what we do, and even more in how we do it. We’re an innovation and transformation consultancy. We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future in a technology-driven world. As strategies, technologies and innovation collide, we create opportunity from complexity. Our diverse teams of experts combine innovative thinking and breakthrough use of technologies to progress further, faster. Our clients adapt and transform, and together we achieve enduring results. For more than 75 years, our clients have come to us with their toughest challenges, from the need to design products that keep people healthy and contribute to a more sustainable world, to the need to transform whole businesses to meet rapidly evolving customer expectations. In response, we’ve designed cosmetic applicators for people living with Parkinson’s, revolutionised cell and gene therapy with automatic, compact manufacturing processes, and replaced plastic packaging with dry-moulded fibre. And we’ve turned an institutional asset manager into an agile organisation to unlock growth, created the business case, strategy and operating model for a new spaceflight regulator, and built a new cloud platform to accelerate urgent health studies. We're the only firm with the range of expertise – strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, digital experts, scientists, engineers and technologists – to offer end-to-end innovation under one roof, helping clients seize the incredible opportunities of today’s rapidly changing world. That means we can take product ideas from concept, through prototyping to manufacturing and distribution, and we can help transform organisations, building the culture, systems and processes to make innovation part of everyone's role.
