Accendor takes the executive management view, in business, human resources, marketing, finance and IT, applied to the domains of energy, the economy, supply, sourcing and talent, and expressed as on-going advice, education and targeted consulting interventions.

Accendor Research provides its clients with a wide variety of services built upon its original research in areas of importance to business. Having recognized the current economic climate building in 2007, Accendor is on the forefront of ideas to help clients deal with uncertainty, destructive economic shifts, capital issues, commodity and supply concerns. At the same time, Accendor has also been in the lead on issues of collaboration and dealing with the next generation of employees — the concerns of staff turnover as the decade of the 2010s unfolds.

Cognitive Edge is a set of consulting practices delivered by Accendor under licence. Focused on rejuvenating management practices, the results address intractable problems or lead to the seizing of opportunities in uncertain and complex situations. Cognitive Edge techniques enable the emergence of fresh insight seen from multiple perspectives and are applied to issues of organization, human complexity, sense-making (in the environment, marketplace or workplace) and lead to better decision-making, knowledge sharing and a rich narrative used to understand what “drives” an organization.

Accendor Research is proud to have certified, accredited Cognitive Edge practitioners amongst its associates.
