Innovation Management Assessment and Implementation

"Why is it, that developing systemic innovation capability needs development?”

The OECD and other institutions state that innovation is the single biggest driver for growth, productivity, and prosperity, and it is common knowledge that organizations who innovate consistently and continuously tend to do far better than the ones that don’t. It is also true that many of the organizations that do innovate and have been successful at it, still struggle with making innovations repeatable. Developing real innovation capability requires an adequate, structured and coherent approach. There are viable approaches to developing true innovation capability.

“Developing real innovation capability requires an adequate, structured and coherent approach.”

It is true that shareholders and other interested parties’ expectations are quickly shifting to requirements for evidence-based innovation management and transparently integrated reporting. Shareholders want to protect their investment and ensure corporations they invest in remain relevant, competitive, achieve sustainability goals and increase their financial performance. Stock analysis and rating firms are now looking for innovation capability evidence that will influence stock pricing. In other words: evidence-based innovation management is quickly becoming a requirement.

These and other reasons, such as having a common definition and language for innovation, and clearly defined innovation requirements for building superior innovation capability, is why the Innovation Maturity Model was developed as the solution to achieving effective and sustained innovation.
