EY hosted its 2018 Technology Summit at one of its flagship wavespace innovation centers in Toronto, Canada to update industry analysts on recent strategic initiatives undertaken by EY's technology consulting practice. This was the second of such meetings with the inaugural event held in 2017. The summit highlighted how EY is adapting to a discernable trend change in client expectations for consultants to not only arrive with formed or semi-formed ideas and solutions that solve their commercial and operational problems but also to be able to collaborate with them in co-creating and activating solutions that result in measurable positive outcomes.
"In this environment," says Dan Higgins, Global Lead for EY's Technology Consulting practice, "client expectations rapidly evolve and services and products increasingly converge, we need to become more proactive in bringing innovative solutions and ecosystems that address real client challenges. This necessitates a change in the way we as consultants organize to deliver our services." Over the next day and a half, Higgins and his colleagues highlighted several initiatives EY is taking to meet client needs.
