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, organizations need to effectively govern and measure their innovation processes from end to end.

Accolade helps organizations 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®, DoD 5000 modeling, DFSS, and other new product development methodologies with a centralized best-practice system that supports process execution from the time a product is conceived as an idea until it is retired from the marketplace.

Further extend the value of Accolade to your business by using the system's powerful process to govern other key business processes or project portfolios, such as Six Sigma, capital development, mergers and acquisitions, and IT projects.
