Free Innovation Readiness Assessment

Unlock Your Organization’s Full Potential.

Every industry is evolving, and every organization needs to innovate to stay ahead.

But how ready is your organization to innovate? The Innovation Readiness Assessment (IRA) offers a comprehensive evaluation to gauge your preparedness.

Why Take the Innovation Readiness Assessment?

  • Comprehensive Insight: The IRA goes beyond a surface-level evaluation, delving deep into your organization’s innovation capabilities. It scrutinizes every aspect, from roles and responsibilities to detailed operational planning.

  • Custom Feedback for Different Roles: The IRA tailors its feedback to different roles within your organization. Whether you’re a strategic executive, a manager overseeing daily innovation processes, or an innovator driving fresh ideas, you’ll receive actionable feedback customized to your role.

  • Discover the Fantastic Five: The IRA reveals the “Fantastic Five,” the five essential components with the most significant impact on your innovation system. This knowledge empowers you to prioritize and direct your efforts more effectively.

  • Benefit from Critical Dependencies: The IRA doesn’t just highlight isolated areas for improvement; it also uncovers critical dependencies between different components. It provides insights into which areas to strengthen to enhance the performance of others.
