Our Story
Our Story..
Accelerance was founded in 2011 based on our observation that the content-heavy programmes that fill the calendars of business schools and training departments don’t equip leaders to exercise leadership. We felt there was a more meaningful, effective and impactful way to develop leadership capability and set up Accelerance to provide it
Our approach involves working with clients to address what is real and urgent in their organisations. We work collaboratively, with an iterative process that leverages listening, questioning, challenging thinking and assumptions, and co-creating the most suitable, bespoke intervention.
With offices in London and Singapore, and a presence in Europe, Asia and the USA, our consultants combine their corporate experience with pedagogical expertise to build interventions that develop leadership, address business challenges and drive business performance.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to help organisations realise their human potential, and change people’s lives for the better.
Our Mission
We achieve our purpose by providing bespoke leadership development solutions based on corporate insight and innovative pedagogy.
Our Values
- Excellence: We improve business performance for our clients, employing innovative pedagogy and professional excellence in everything we do.
- Courage: We welcome difficult challenges and believe in our ability to resolve them successfully with leadership, honesty and passion
- Caring: Our empathy, humility and listening qualities help us deliver outstanding solutions, making us delightful for clients to work with and attractive for consultants to stay with.
“Accelerance has an interesting concept – all members are ex- Executive of L&D, OD or Talent Management from big corporations. They have decided to quit the corporate world to focus on their passion of developing leaders. They are not on payroll with Accelerance but choose the projects they want to work with. They work on customizing solutions for their clients leveraging their virtual network instead of selling off the shelf products. All contents of the process and the process are co-owned by us [the client] and they are totally fine with working in partnership with other suppliers we choose and manage the relations for us, as well as transferring knowledge and capability to our HR team”
