Jacobs. A world where you can.
As a purpose-led company, we know we have a pivotal role to play in addressing the climate emergency. We consider this not only good business, but our duty to channel our technology-enabled expertise and capabilities toward benefitting people and the planet.
Now more than ever, we appreciate the hard work, sacrifice and dedication of the medical profession in ensuring the health and safety of our communities.
As our clients navigate the digital transformation and growing cyber risks, we have positioned ourselves at the forefront of this growth, adding digital capabilities, products and tools to serve a growing set of customers.
Sit down with our visionary team of thinkers, dreamers and doers to see what a day in the life is like.
Together with our visionary partner, PA Consulting, we're establishing our position in high end advisory services, creating a springboard to expand in high value offerings beyond the core.
The only certainty about the future is uncertainty. Resilience is an attribute of a smarter planet, and requires planning and adapting ahead of potential threats. We help our clients survive, recover, adapt and thrive.
Prosperous communities. Healthy cities. A brighter future. We live and play in the places where we work, so we’re personally invested in the impact, outcomes and promise we deliver.
In 2019, Jacobs initiated an enterprise-wide program to promote a culture of innovation and inclusion on a global scale. To encapsulate our innovation culture, we launched Beyond If.
Beyond If is Jacobs program for instilling and sustaining our innovation culture. We seek to inspire innovative ideas, practice the discipline of innovation and promote innovation outcomes. We don’t just ask ‘What If?’ or ‘How Might We?’, we act to turn ideas into reality and drive value through innovation.
We know that innovation doesn’t happen by corporate mandate. Instead, we empower people at every level of the organization to have the courage to approach a problem differently and work together to create outcomes that deliver value for our clients and society at large.
"As we continue to evolve into the company like no other, solving our clients' most difficult challenges, we are strengthening our innovation culture," says Jacobs Senior Vice President, Technology & Innovation Heather Wishart-Smith. “Our culture is what helps our employees at every level to have an innovation mindset and have the courage and feel empowered to reframe the problem, challenge the status quo and try something new.”
While we invest in the assessment and development of new technologies, both internally and through our partner ecosystem, we recognize that some of the most impactful and enduring innovation requires no new technology. Instead, value can be found in new ways of working, process changes, new methodologies/approaches to solving problems, or a repurposing of products and services.
“By leveraging our deep domain expertise and adopting design thinking, lean startup and agile approaches to innovation,” said Kate Willison, Jacobs Global Innovation Lead, “we seek to develop innovative solutions that result in enduring outcomes for our clients.”
When we implement new technology, it is our innovation culture that enables us to identify and use emerging technology more quickly and more effectively. As part of the Beyond If effort, we honed our innovation focus on a variety of client challenges and are actively exploring five technology areas: applied geospatial science, cybersecurity, automated design, Internet of Things and predictive data analytics. These technology areas are at the center of our Beyond If program to fuel more complete, higher-value solutions for the benefit of our clients and society at large.
At Jacobs, we are truly challenging today and reinventing tomorrow as we take on the world’s toughest challenges. Innovation is not just what we do, it's who we are.
