Slalom Unveils Accelerate Teams for Salesforce at Dreamforce 2026

SEATTLE — September 14, 2026 - Slalom, the fiercely human business and technology company, today announced Accelerate Teams, a new outcome-focused model designed to help organizations turn their highest-priority opportunities into measurable business results faster.

Slalom will show Accelerate Teams at Dreamforce 2026 as part of its AI in Motion experience, demonstrating how small, embedded teams can help organizations move beyond AI experimentation and accelerate the path from idea to production.

“Every organization is looking for faster, more practical ways to put AI to work, but the real advantage comes from connecting bold ideas to the sales, marketing, service, and commerce actions that create measurable growth,” said Brad Jackson, CEO of Slalom. “Accelerate Teams for Salesforce reflect how Slalom helps customers move with speed and confidence, bringing together business, industry, technology, and human-centered expertise to help companies better serve their customers, unlock higher-value experiences, and turn Salesforce into a stronger engine for growth.”

Typically made up of a select group of cross-functional Slalom experts, Accelerate Teams work side-by-side with customer teams around their most important priorities. They continuously help identify and prioritize opportunities, rapidly build and test solutions, and help move what’s working to production. Behind each team is the broader power of Slalom, including deep industry expertise, AI and technology capabilities, reusable IP and accelerators, and relationships with the world’s leading technology companies.

Built To Turn Ideas Into Outcomes

Accelerate Teams complement Slalom’s traditional project consulting by providing better continuity for priorities that require ongoing experimentation, iteration, and improvement. Rather than beginning with “What should we build?”, teams start with “What value do we need to unlock, and how quickly?”

“Our customers need better ways to turn their boldest ideas into action,” said Sarah Duffy, Global Enterprise Business Applications leader at Slalom. “Accelerate Teams bring together trusted advisors who understand the customer’s business, stay close to their priorities, and are backed by the full power of Slalom. It’s about creating momentum and delivering outcomes our customers can see and feel.”

Customers Gain:

• Faster time to value: Rapidly move from ideas to working solutions and production.
• Dedicated expertise: Work alongside a small, senior, cross-functional team focused on their priorities.
• Greater continuity: Maintain business and technical context as priorities evolve, reducing repeated handoffs and restarts.
• Access to the full power of Slalom: Tap into industry specialists, AI expertise, architecture, engineering, experience design, accelerators, and leading technology partners as needs change.
• Confidence to scale: Validate business value, feasibility, and customer experience before making larger investments.
• Stronger internal capabilities: Build alongside Slalom experts, transferring knowledge and new ways of working to customer teams.

The model is designed to help organizations move quickly without sacrificing the architecture, governance, human-centered design, and technology foundations needed to scale successful solutions across the enterprise.

Putting AI in Motion at Dreamforce

At Dreamforce, through live demos and conversations with Slalom experts, attendees will see how these teams combine business, industry, experience, data, AI, and technology expertise to identify high-value opportunities, create working proofs of value, and accelerate the highest value solutions to production.

The approach builds on Slalom being a launch partner of Salesforce’s Forward Deployed Engineering Partner Network and extending it across broader technology ecosystems, helping organizations solve business challenges that increasingly span multiple platforms and capabilities.
