The Innovation centre

The innovation Centre sits at the heart of Accordant’s Advisory services; solutions are not productised yet are delivered, like our customers challenges, uniquely. Of course, there are economies of scale and innovation over invention, yet it is in the personalised and specialist approach to developing solutions that true value is created. Not just in the technologies that emerge yet in the relationships that are forged. 

The Innovation Centre is one of the three core disciplines in the Accordant Portfolio, alongside our cyber security and managed services the innovation centre provides the big picture view, that vital second opinion, a fresh pair of eyes if you will. The interactions between the people, the planet, processes, and technologies. Solving customer challenges may involve one or two of these aspects or all of them and this is why we pride ourselves on remaining agile.

What we do

Each engagement begins with a presenting problem, the thing the client brings to the meeting beneath which lies core challenge. We begin by recognising the presenting problem and describing that underlying core challenge. Simply put that’s the thing we need to address. It may be a simple set of advice on a purchased solution, sanity checks on options or a complex design or bespoke software build. Often, we support in the production of business cases, strategy documents or service development. We can undertake solutions research and help in building out specialist capabilities within your organisation. Whilst our history is information technology we like to think of our legacy as far wider and more innovative.
