Sense change before it happens—and act at superhuman speed

In 2021, COVID-19 continued to put lives and livelihoods at risk while challenging businesses with hard-to-predict changes and ceaseless uncertainty.

For organizations to remain relevant now and into the future, we believe an intuition-like capacity is more than desirable, it’s necessary. But how do you infuse an organic human quality throughout a global enterprise?

Thanks to recent gains in technology, companies can balance human empathy and creativity with the extraordinary speed of machines, thereby extending the capabilities of both. Some say fortune favors the bold. But to stay relevant, we believe the bold must anticipate change and continuously adapt to it.

Enabling the Aston Martin team to anticipate and act, instantaneously

In a sport where milliseconds matter, a place on the podium often rests on data—and the speed with which a team can respond. In a year of change for Aston Martin, we’re bringing the technology expertise necessary to create a world-class AMF1 team that’s data-driven and designed to come out ahead. Through our work with AMF1, we aim to expand global fan base engagement, implement new FIA Cost Cap measures and fulfill the team’s vision to be world champions. In this initial year of our partnership, we immersed ourselves in Aston Martin F1’s way of working, which enabled us to recommend initiatives to advance its mission.

Creating a culture of innovation that keeps KeyBank ahead of client needs

As a regional bank with a dedicated focus on the changing needs of its customers, KeyBank sees itself as a modern, technology-driven organization with an innovator’s appetite for digital. As such, the firm has accelerated its shift to an open banking culture and prioritized automation to deliver new and even more relevant capabilities to clients, through and beyond the pandemic. As KeyBank’s primary digital partner, we delivered open banking APIs that drive speed, agility, security and efficiency for internal digital initiatives as well as in those with KeyBank’s external fintech partners. Through our automation efforts, KeyBank is now able to streamline processes and respond faster to client requests, helping the business operate with the speed and insight of intuition.

Intuition at scale has the power to improve everyday life. And we can engineer it.
