Improve Innovation Performance
with Accolade®

Sound innovation planning is not enough — it must translate into viable products and positive business results. To improve returns on product innovation investments, organisations need to effectively govern and measure their innovation processes from end to end.

Accolade helps organisations to structure, automate and measure product innovation, ensuring that the right new products get to market cost-effectively and on time. Replacing inefficient paper-based processes, Accolade automates Stage-Gate®, PACE®, and other new product development methodologies with a centralised best-practice system that supports process execution from the time a product is conceived as an idea until it is retired from the marketplace.

With Accolade, you can:

Continuously measure and improve innovation performance
Centralize product data and improve project visibility
Increase accountability among teams and team members
Reduce time spent preparing for, and participating in, gate and other project meetings
Speed time-to-market through better process execution
