New Accolade® Disruption Response Toolkit allows companies to re-focus their business and re-balance investments based on external impacts of the pandemic
MINNEAPOLIS – April 2, 2020 – Sopheon, a global leader in enterprise innovation management solutions, today releases the Accolade Disruption Response Toolkit to view, assess and analyze risks and opportunities based on impacts to consumer demand and available production capacity, supply chains, distribution networks, workforce, and capital. Product and project portfolios can quickly and easily be assessed, recommendations for actions collected, and multiple scenarios then presented for informed executive decision making.
“When I saw this new toolkit, I realized that we simply hadn’t considered the impacts of the disruption in this way,” said Heidi Akkerman, senior innovation manager at Hormel Foods. “It gave me a fresh perspective on how we could be looking at this.”
The Accolade software is a decision-support platform that has been successfully aiding companies like PepsiCo, Honeywell, P&G and BASF in the development of winning new products, business transformation and continual improvement in a market consistently disrupted by digitalization.
“Sopheon’s Accolade assists business in managing digital transformation and disruption,” stated Andrew Darley, director of research at finnCap, in a recent company note from the financial advisor and brokerage firm.1 “While the current crisis is a black swan, constant and rapidly evolving disruption is a feature of modern business, where Accolade helps structure and measure constructive strategic response.”
