The pattern language

John Morgan

John Morgan developed the Humanistics pattern language that informs Accorded. His work grew from British diplomatic service across 38 countries, work with founders and leadership teams, and experience building and exiting a business.

He created a practical way to understand how people show up, where patterns create friction, and how communication can be shaped to meet the person receiving it. John co-founded Accorded to bring that perspective into everyday professional messages.

Why it exists

Important messages are often written from the sender's perspective. Accorded starts from the other side: how does this person appear to read, process, and respond to written communication?

How it works

Accorded assesses public written signals, including LinkedIn profiles, posts, and comments, then compares them with Humanistics Patterns. As relationship context grows, the pattern can become more personal and more useful.

Who it helps

Accorded is designed for people whose work depends on well-received communication: sales teams, recruiters, founders, consultants, agencies, and customer success teams.
