3. Enormous advances in software,
computing power, analytics
and connectivity are fueling an
explosion of new ideas about
processes, data, collaboration,
automation and networking.
4. If you’re into
innovation, disruption,
transformation – or just
making things better –
this is a glorious time
to be alive.
5. Wherever you sit in
the global economy,
whatever your discipline
or role, however junior
or senior you are…
6. You’re in the innovation
business.
The business of making
things work better
tomorrow than they
did yesterday.
7. We think that’s just about
the best challenge anyone
could ever ask for.
8. But it also carries enormous
responsibilities.
We all make decisions every
day about where we’ll focus
our talents and energies.
24. Problems that work against
all their efforts and hold them
back from success.
25. Solving these kinds of problems
is enormously gratifying.
Because it means we can
repay and reward the trust
that these organizations
have shown in us.
29. We’ve found that smaller-scale
problems tend to be more
forgiving, more tolerant of
imprecision. (Not always, but
often small problems allow for
“craft” solutions rather than
scalable ones.)
31. (Fortunately, our clients tend to be large
organizations and governments –
so they need solutions that scale.)
32. We love problems that can
be fixed quickly – and those
that take time and patience.
33. Many of the world’s toughest and
most important challenges will take
decades to solve. For these, our role
is to enable the front line solvers
– in healthcare, transportation,
government – rather than to tackle
these problems on our own.
34. But we also love problems that we
know we can, if not solve, at least
improve in months and years rather
than decades. These are commercial
problems where impactful
improvements are found on
the road to longer-term solutions.
35. We love results – but we know that
success comes from the marriage
of patience and impatience.

65. Automation removes the
slowness, cost and
inaccuracy from repetitive,
manual processes.
Analytics turns data into
insight into ideas into
innovation into impact.
Artificial Intelligence extends
what people are good at –
in all directions.
66. The Three As are driving
amazing transformations in
every discipline. We love
being a part of that.
67. So those are our “goosebumps” problems.
The kinds of problems that
make us love what we do.
And make us who we are.
68. What are yours? We’d love to hear.
What kind of problems make
you love what you do?
