Ignition Consultant and Lead Client Facilitator

What is Ignition

We believe that in today's world, to solve complex business issues and to spark real change, you need to think and work differently.

Traditional transformation approaches often don't take clients far enough and aren't delivered quickly enough. Rational, technical, 'best practice' solutions often take much longer to embed in an organisation than planned or expected. We believe that the key to unlocking this problem is outcome-focussed innovation and collaboration.

In the summer of 2020, we opened the UK's first Ignition Centre.

Ignition is a client experience game-changer - positively transforming the way we work with our clients, and each other, by combining specialist ways of working with dynamic, collaborative physical, virtual and hybrid environments.

It not only helps us to deliver what clients need today, it also brings our digital expertise and content to life in new ways and enables us to develop solutions which prepare clients for a changing future.

What it's like to work in Ignition

Ignition delivers powerful and immersive experiences enabled by bespoke Ignition spaces - the Discovery & Insights Centre, the Lab, the U Collaborate suite and our Sprint rooms.

These experiences drive insight, acceleration, genuine transformation breakthroughs and ultimately, performance.

We work with senior executives across our clients, helping them to solve their biggest and most complex challenges in very accelerated timescales - motivating, challenging and influencing them every step of the way.

We deal with highly ambiguous, high intensity and high 'risk and reward' scenarios. Ignition engagements are typically triggered when senior clients need urgent/ critical help in solving issues.

This means the stakes are high for the client and for KPMG and the route to the 'answer' is often challenging to find.

Every member of our team requires flexibility, perseverance, influencing skills and an ability to work under pressure and to very tight timelines.
