Abstract: This article takes a look at Hewlett-Packar'd approach to accelerated decision making. Hewlett-Pakcard (HP) first encountered major change in 1999 with the break up of Agilent Technologies and HP, and then again in 2001 with the acquisition of Compaq Computers. Through these changes HP turned to an internal consulting division, Acceleration Services, which served as a forum to accelerate decision making and innovation for various company initiatives.
