Each year, as part of the Giants 300 survey, we ask the nation's largest engineering and engineering/architecture firms to pinpoint their most significant business moves within the past 12-18 months. Cited most often this year: "added a new service" and "tech innovations." Here's a recap of the top business innovations from the 2019 Engineer Giants: 1 AE Works added Security Risk Management services to help clients balance operational needs and organizational culture with security solutions. Services include security compliance audits, building design review, security system design, and facility/ campus security assessments. 2 Burns & McDonnell launched an innovation incu- bator, Ignite, focused on researching and developing ideas for business lines or new approaches to serving clients. Similar to "Shark Tank," teams of Burns & McDonnell professionals develop and pitch ideas that can receive funding for further development. The current round is focused on artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced analytics, business intelligence, and robotics.
