Protiviti Reinforces Its Dedication to Innovation with Opening of Innovation Site in London

London site designed to be an incubator of innovative thinking and exploration

London – September 9, 2019 – Global consulting firm Protiviti has opened a new Protiviti iNNTM innovation site in London, following on from the opening of sites in New York and Chicago earlier this year. The London site will serve as an in-house incubator and accelerator of ideas and next-generation solutions for clients and the firm. The presence of the site within Protiviti’s London office significantly differentiates Protiviti’s innovation culture, reminding employees and clients of the firm’s commitment to innovative solutions on a daily basis.

“Our innovation sites bring together a collection of our people to incubate ideas and accelerate our exploration of new and emerging technologies. We’re constantly looking at ways we can apply them to our clients’ business challenges”, said Jonathan Wyatt, a managing director with Protiviti U.K. and leader of Protiviti Digital. “When our clients come and participate in activities and design-thinking workshops with us, they find that not only is it a creatively stimulating experience, but they leave with something tangible that they can apply to their business”.

The London opening creates an opportunity for employees from all functions to become ‘residents’ and serve three-month secondments at the site. Through this unique creative rotation and secondment programme, the firm maximises opportunities for global employees to participate in the Protiviti iNNTM programme.
