Innovation Readiness Assessment

Welcome.

The assessment identifies the state of innovation at your organization, highlights gaps, and aids in strategizing for a robust innovation system.

Structured in three core parts, the assessment asks you to evaluate:

Next People: The key players like executives, managers, and innovators—focusing on their roles, responsibilities, and mindsets in driving innovation.

Next Process: The actions, rules, and methods that define how your organization innovates.

Next System Platform: The alignment and resources that support innovation, including vision, values, technology, and environment.

Rate your organization’s readiness using the following scale:

Ad-Hoc: Our approach to innovation is sporadic and unplanned. There needs to be a structured method or consistent process in place.
Emerging: Our approach follows a recognizable pattern but needs to be more consistently applied and less reactive. Innovation initiatives occur, but they must be fully integrated into our strategic objectives.
Established: We have a documented and communicated approach to innovation. This framework is well-understood, and we have clear roles and processes that support innovation efforts.
Integrated: Our approach is not only defined but also measured and controlled. We use defined metrics to assess the success of our innovation initiatives, and this data informs our strategic decision-making.
Optimized: Innovation is highly systemized and deeply embedded in our organizational culture and processes. We have a continuous improvement system for our innovation processes, constantly learning and iterating for maximum impact.

Choose the rating that best reflects how you perceive your organization’s current state. Your honest assessment is paramount.

The results will strengthen your innovation system for future success.

Thank you for your time and insights.
