Maria Thomson founded accelerateOD in 2010 following the global financial crisis, coinciding with the arrival of her first child and the completion of her Doctorate in Industrial & Organisational Psychology (First Class Honours), following a double major in Psychology and Management & Employment Relations - and ongoing career success.
This laid the foundations for accelerateOD - built on resilience and practical, reasoned, human ways-of-working, that continue to adapt to planned and unexpected futures. Creating the business around a flexible, collaborative model and bringing together talented and caring professionals, means that we have space to pursue broader ambitions, so that we can help you achieve yours too. That philosophy continues to underpin the business today.
"We achieve excellence by designing approaches that reflect personal values, identity, and natural strengths."
We know that speed is only useful if you’re heading in the right direction. So, we're keen to understand your heading, how you're getting there, and to help build the right momentum for meaningful progress.
Our name reflects both our origins and our purpose.
Think of us as an extension of your team, we’d love to work with you.
