Accenture Explains The Push Behind Its Innovation Hubs

Global systems integrator Accenture has seven innovation hubs across the U.S. with 10 more set to open by 2020. CRNtv recently got a look at the Boston location.

The Dublin, Ireland-based company opened the Boston hub in October. The innovation hubs are designed to help clients grow, compete and transform in the digital economy. Clients work side-by-side with their Accenture teams, exploring the latest technologies.

"We have space where we will explore our client's issues with them, co-create solutions, co-create strategies with them and design their futures with them," said Kathleen O’Reilly, Accenture's senior managing director of the Northeast.

"We also have a Liquid Studio here, and what we do in our Liquid Studio is rapid prototyping," she said.

The nationwide investment also includes a $1.4 billion in training and the hiring of 15,000 new employees by the end of 2020.
