KPMG – Illuminate
Hackathon
KPMG Illuminate is a collaborative initiative bringing together teams from KPMG, bp, Microsoft, and the University of Cambridge to tackle common business challenges. These challenges include communication in a virtual world, talent recruitment and retention, and navigating the metaverse landscape.
The initiative was highlighted by a two-day KPMG 'Digital Future of Work' hackathon held in London on June 28, 2022, coinciding with the United Nations' World Creativity & Innovation Day. This event, centered around the UN's Sustainable Development Goal of 'Decent work and economic growth', aimed to promote full and productive employment and inclusive economic growth.
With a dedicated crew of four individuals working tirelessly over three days, we meticulously crafted this video, overseeing every aspect from pre-production planning to post-production editing, ensuring a seamless and impactful final product.
Participants from around the globe utilised KPMG's Illuminate platform to ideate virtually in advance of the hackathon, focusing on addressing pressing issues such as talent shortages and the evolving nature of hybrid working. During the event, select ideas were further developed and refined, with teams working towards building sustainable business models and finalising prototypes. These prototypes were then presented to a panel of judges consisting of industry experts from KPMG, Microsoft, bp, and the University of Cambridge.
By leveraging the collective expertise and innovative spirit of its participants, KPMG Illuminate strives to generate actionable solutions and drive positive change in the modern business landscape.
