The Hub is a dedicated space where users can Experience, Learn and Innovate
It has been designed purposely around the innovation eco-system and has two concurrent architectural concepts – a contemporary learning space for PwC’s Academy and a collaborative space to innovate with PwC’s clients.
The 2,000 square metre premises spread over 4 floors goes beyond facilitating traditional sharing of knowledge in a classroom style. It lends itself to provide collaborative and creative zones that nurture innovative thinking, an executive area that focuses on re-imagining the future of business; learning zones that encourage sharing of experiences and best practices, and an experience hub that embeds the dynamism and agility required in today’s changing world.
The Hub houses PwC’s Academy which today, offers blended learning solutions tailored for clients’ needs in areas of Business and IT. The centre, which brings to life, concepts related to transformation, creativity, design thinking and innovation, also enables clients to reach out to PwC to co-create strategy, to stimulate business innovation and to resolve complex issues.
Developing through learning at PwC’s Academy
Our Academy recognises that instructor-led training is a passive way to educate and that to disrupt the way our workforce works, we must educate using alternative methodologies. The Hub facilitates a unique learning experience for a wide variety of people, ranging from students seeking a qualification, to start ups, to C-suite clients and corporates, all of whom choose our Academy to meet PwC’s specialists and trainers, all experts in their respective fields. Clients reach out to our Academy experts to share their best practices and experiences and to avail themselves of an Academy which today offers blended learning solutions tailored for their specific needs in a wide spectrum of areas.
Malta prides itself of a skilled workforce with a good level of education across a variety of disciplines, yet we all acknowledge that we cannot stay still. We need to keep up with an ever-changing economy and dynamic, fast-paced industries in a digitally enabled era. The Academy aims to respond to these skills gaps by offering learning solutions tailored for clients’ needs in areas of business and finance, skills development, information technology as well as business innovation and creative thinking processes.

When we look into the future, we see disruption, we see collisions, we see transformation, but most of all we see opportunities. We want clients to use the Hub as a space to experience what the future industry might look like, who their competitors could be, what their customers might want and what the winning business models will be. And we would like to co-create the future with them by revolutionizing the way they work with people, processes and technology. Here they can explore how their new thinking can be put in practice through analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchain or even shaping their concepts through 3D design.

How can we assist you with Customer experience?
At the center of our BXT methodology is your customer.
Consumer behaviour has changed fundamentally in just a few years. Mobile technology and social media allows customers to carry out research, make purchases and interact with your company anywhere, anytime, on their terms. These new empowered customers are engaged, informed and wield considerable power online. So customer experience has never been more important.
But customer experience doesn’t just mean the design of an ecommerce checkout, or physical in-store experience. It extends to every part of your business, from marketing and sales, through to customer retention, finance and procurement. That’s why our approach to customer experience management is focused on your business objectives and uses all of PwC’s expertise to help you deliver the experiences customers demand.
