Spark Innovation Centre

It’s all very well talking and writing about innovation but where’s the starting point? Creative, collaborative innovation needs a focus. Diverse sets of people need to join together to share their passion, start the process and begin their journey.

To provide a focal point, we’ve set up the UK Spark Innovation Centre at our King’s Place offices, just around the corner from King’s Cross station in London and one of a series of Logica Spark Innovation Centres around the world.

It’s a place where you can explore ideas, enjoy a range of experiences and see some of our latest propositions. There, we hold innovation sessions with our clients and partners, as well as colleagues from across our international businesses. You’ll also find testimonials from our customers – we hope you’ll add to them.

We opened the centre in April 2009 and now an average of 50 people a week visit to discuss concepts, share ideas and see innovation in action. Every visitor is asked to give us honest feedback, which helps us to improve the centre and its contents. The forms also make a neat chandelier representing collaborative innovation, as you’ll see.

Among our current offerings are:

Smart Office – the evolution of our smart meter proposition. It’s a lot more than automated meter reading. It’s about our clients understanding their customers better, developing new products and processes, saving costs and staying ahead in a rapidly changing energy market.
