Innovation Center Project Teams

Building the latest products and services for clients

Project teams work at the Innovation Center and provide solutions to achieve core, adjacent, and transformational innovation—meaning they’re enhancing existing capabilities via emerging technologies, applying their work in new, yet relevant customer segments, or creating a new market demand that changes behavior.

These teams are powered by collaboration. Their insight, ideas, and impact are shared among fellow experts pursuing the next greatest achievement for our clients. Working alongside community partners and across geographies with Booz Allen’s Innovation Hub Network, these project teams represent new discoveries at the intersection of design, business, and technology.
