Innovation Audits

Do you want to gain the edge over your competitors?  Becoming an innovative and responsive organisation is the only way forward. Studies show that only truly innovative teams can build business models that are sustainable in the long-term.

Why do some organisations choose the virtuous circle of on-going innovation while others end up in slow but inevitable decline? What is the key role of management leadership in transforming the entrepreneurial creativity of a company?    What are the obstacles stopping your company putting a cutting-edge idea into practice. How can they be overcome ?

The Innovation Audit can answer all these questions and more.

The innovative strengths and weaknesses of your organisation are identified. Methods to make innovation implicit in all your activities are examined. Pathways and key success indicators are established.

By interviews with all relevant staff, an analysis is produced detailing attitudes towards innovation within the organisation and the behaviours associated with them in the context of the general corporate culture.
