Accenture’s Innovation Hubs offer space to test boundaries of cutting-edge technology

Corporate executives think tech needs to be more human-centric, and Accenture LLP is more than happy to provide research space where that can happen.

In Accenture’s newly released “Technology Vision 2020: We, The Post-Digital People,” the consulting firm found that 76% of executives surveyed believed that organizations needed to re-engineer experiences that bring technology and people together. To help facilitate that and other goals, Accenture has opened labs and research hubs around the world where clients and partners can gain a better understanding of the technologies driving many of the trends outlined in the firm’s latest report.

“Clients are coming from all over the globe to understand the trends that are going to shape their business operations in the future,” said Ashley Miller (pictured), managing director of the San Francisco Innovation Hub at Accenture. “We are a sandbox where you can come in, build the proof of concept, test ideas, and then — in an ongoing continuous way — help understand their impacts to your business.”

Miller spoke with Jeff Frick, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the Accenture Technology Vision event in San Francisco. Mary Hamilton, managing director of Accenture Labs for the Americas at Accenture, also spoke with Frick in a separate interview, and they discussed how Accenture’s Innovation centers help clients gain a better understanding of the latest tech trends, the role of new products in facilitating consumer experiences, and ways that material science can advance connected technologies.
