The Innovation Climate Audit
Leading Growth Through Innovation Questionnaire
- What supports innovation in your organization?
- What gets in the way?
- What are your greatest opportunities for cost effective climate improvement?
Objective: To diagnose the climate for innovation in your organization and prescribe
interventions for greater innovation health.
The Process:
- A mail or email survey
- Interviews at all levels of the organization
- Case studies of both successful and unsuccessful innovation
- Analysis and synthesis of climate information
- Building a vision of the desired innovation climate
As we unravel a specific innovation case history, we often are surprised. "And
then you did what?" "Oh yes, we always do it that way." These are
the golden moments of climate auditing. They often reveal the big disconnects and
huge opportunities to change your way of going about innovation.
Output:
- A clear comparative diagnosis of your organization's climate for innovation
- Steps to improve the speed, quantity and quality of innovation
- A redesigned innovation process
- A coalition for change
- Ongoing implementation support
