EY Global Innovation teams work across the organization to help identify, share and scale the best ideas, and to research and explore new technologies. We are constantly asking better questions so that we can drive the innovation that is building a better working world for EY people and clients. We’ll give you the encouragement and support to ask those questions too. To challenge what we do or how we do it; to find a better way. When you have the ability to explore and innovate, you can produce inspiring results.
EY teams are embracing new technologies to transform services for the better. We’re exploring the incredible potential of innovations such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and analytics. We’re using bots, algorithms and machines so that you can do more interesting – and impactful – work. We’ve invested over one billion USD in new technology solutions, client services and innovation.
This is having a transformative effect on the way we work. We are smarter, nimbler and more flexible, with an ever-growing global outlook. We can apply agile approaches to generate new ideas, and help clients to rapidly realize them by testing in-market and quickly scaling up when required.
And rather than simply investing in technology, EY teams help businesses fundamentally transform so that they can develop and sustain the creative, technical and digital leadership needed to continuously innovate, design more effective outcomes and build a better working world.

What skills are needed for a position in data science?
There are many things that are helpful, but the three most important for me are: one – to have the data analytics capabilities to help our clients. The second would be leadership skills to guide, motivate and engage the team. Last but not the least, is to have social skills, in order to build an internal and external network.
