Accolade Core
Optimize your portfolio for custom targets
Define your OKRs and constraints, compare scenarios, and build the innovation portfolio that sets your enterprise up to hit targets. Accolade ties every project to the strategic outcomes they need to support, so you can simulate results, examine tradeoffs, and invest in a body of projects that aligns investments with your enterprise strategy.
Invest in projects that drive real growth
Find opportunities to launch new products, prolong existing product life, and replace decaying revenue streams. With Accolade’s scenario modeling tools, you can run multiple revenue simulations based on multivariate assumptions, visualize “what-if” scenarios, and project revenue stream performance for innovation investments.
Align innovation investments with ESG policies
With Accolade Sustainability, you create new, non-financial constraints and targets to optimize your portfolio against. Set goals for green manufacturing, establish sustainability metrics to use as limits and parameters, and prioritize sustainability constraints against traditional revenue and market performance goals.
Visualize your innovation operations
Accolade creates Gantt charts for any collection of innovation activities—so you can track progress from the portfolio level down to individual projects. Quickly locate pinch points and see how every project’s progress affects the rest of your portfolio with built-in dependency management tools and advanced roadmapping capabilities.
Mobilize people and assets for success
Put the right people on the right projects at the right time. Enterprises use Accolade to track resource skill development, search their workforces by skill, experience, and other custom labels, and manage workflows to avoid bottlenecks and burnout.
Source and validate ideas strategically
Tie your idea management processes to strategic OKRs and market performance. Enterprises use Accolade’s customizable intake and evaluation tools to collect, sort, and vet ideas for innovation projects. With ideas connected to resource, roadmap, and historical performance data, managers can quickly identify what kind of new ideas the portfolio needs, expedite business cases, and move promising ideas from concept to commercialization.
Source emerging technology
Accolade’s Scout technology integrates your portfolio management system with a database of technologies from research institutions, universities, and startups—so you can choose which technologies to develop in-house and which ones to source from partners.
