Accolade - Scouting

Growth-Oriented Innovation Data Software

Accolade was purpose-built for managing enterprise-level innovation from end to end. Our fully configurable innovation data management platform is designed to help enterprises with the three major issues in innovation management today:
Hitting growth targets

With Accolade, you can set custom OKRs and KPIs that reflect your strategy, tie every single innovation activity to those targets, and track their progress. 
Increasing data visibility
Accolade centralizes all your innovation data in one place, so that stakeholders always have access to the critical, timely information they need.
Orchestrating the portfolio

Accolade’s scenario modeler takes every inter-project dependency into account, automates compliance with governance policies, and sends alerts when you’re veering off-course from strategy.

These three principles catalyse growth innovation, a management philosophy that turns your innovation pipeline into a source of predictable growth.
