For organizations

Your leaders see one company. Your teams appear to work in another.

You say innovation matters. Find out why it gets stuck, and what to do first.

Turn your organization's innovation culture into metrics you can track and manage.

Does this happen in your organization?

PermissionCan people try ideas without asking for approval?Teams may try new things, yet ideas still wait for a yes.
AspirationDo we know what we are trying to achieve?Your plan names innovation priorities. Few people can repeat them.
CourageIs it safe to share bold ideas?People nod in the meeting and doubt it in the corridor.
ConnectionDo ideas travel between teams?Departments work side by side, but rarely build something together.
CapabilityDo people have the skill and the time?There is budget for new ideas, but no time to test them.
UrgencyDoes anyone here feel change is urgent?Everyone agrees things must change. Few feel it is urgent.

Six dimensions define the culture to innovate at your workplace.

Leaders, managers and employees each answer questions from their side of the organization.

The same answers give the same scores, for every organization.

Each person counts once.

We measure how your organization works, not how people perform.

Our method

What your report shows

Your report has three parts. Scores show the dimensions where leaders, managers and employees see innovation differently. Patterns help translate the issues your organization may have with innovation. At the end, we provide first steps for each role to test and resolve patterns and low scoring dimensions.

Dimensions

See where your roles tell different stories.

Leaders, managers and employees each score the six dimensions from where they sit. You get one overall score, and see where views differ most.

Patterns

Where views differ, we name the pattern.

We have identified several recurring patterns that specifically stall or block innovation. Our scan detects whether these patterns are present in your organization.

You can also invite partners and customers to get an outside view.

Customers and partners are asked for input, but rarely see what it changed.
