Innovation Management Assessment
A Structured Evaluation of Your Innovation Capability
Sustainable innovation requires more than ideas. It depends on aligned leadership, clear governance and effective delivery.
Our Innovation Management Assessment, supported by RISE Sweden, evaluates your organisation’s innovation capability across strategic, organisational and operational dimensions.
This diagnostic highlights strengths, gaps and priorities, forming the foundation for targeted capability development.
Execution Excellence
Why an Assessment Matters
Many organisations invest in innovation initiatives without first understanding where capability gaps exist.
Without structured evaluation:
✔ Strategy and execution become misaligned
✔ Governance lacks clarity
✔ Projects compete for resources without prioritisation discipline
✔ Innovation activity increases but measurable performance does not
The assessment provides clarity before intervention.
What the Assessment Evaluates
The Innovation Management Assessment examines capability across key dimensions, including:
✔ Leadership and strategic alignment
✔ Governance and decision-making structures
✔ Innovation processes and validation frameworks
✔ Product and service development approaches
✔ Organisational capability and culture
✔ Measurement and performance systems
The assessment is informed by international best practice, including the ISO 56000 series of Innovation Management standards.
Competitive Innovation
How the Assessment Works
The assessment is delivered through a structured diagnostic questionnaire that evaluates your organisation’s current innovation capability.
It examines key dimensions including leadership alignment, governance, innovation processes, development approaches, culture and performance measurement.
The results provide a clear view of strengths, gaps and capability maturity across the organisation.
Competitive Innovation
From Diagnostic to Designed Programmes
The assessment is not an end in itself.
Based on the diagnostic outcomes, we design a tailored programme aligned to your organisation’s priorities and maturity level.
This may include:
✔ Innovation strategy development
✔ Governance and framework design
✔ Leadership alignment workshops
✔ Targeted capability development and training
Rather than applying a standard solution, we design a programme based on the specific gaps identified in the assessment.
