KPMG wants to channel Silicon Valley in its new AI division. The Big Four consulting and accounting firms and Silicon Valley startups sit at opposite ends of the business spectrum. On one side are KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, and EY: century-old brands built on reputation, rigorous processes, and dependable, if unsexy, business services. On the other side are nimble and innovative startups that have made a virtue of moving fast and breaking things. In the age of AI, KPMG is trying to carve out more space for that Silicon Valley mentality. On Tuesday, it announced the formation of a new division, the Client Technology & Innovation (CT&I) group. The group will comprise several hundred staffers, and KPMG plans that it will operate separately from its three main business lines — audit, tax, and advisory. Its main remit is to accelerate innovation, both for client products and solutions and within the firm itself. It will look "like a Silicon Valley incubator within the walls of KPMG," Todd Lohr, KPMG's vice chair and head of CT&I, told Business Insider.
