What is an Innovation Audit?

A detailed and objective third-person view on your current innovation capabilities in relation to your strategic objectives. It's the foundation to build a solid innovation strategy based on your particular strengths and capabilities as well as the identified barriers and obstacles. Once completed, it will allow your organization to unlock profitable future growth opportunities with a clear plan of action.

There are 2 main focus areas of the innovation audit:

1. Innovation platform
2. Innovation practice

Focus Nº1Innovation Platform

  • What's the focus of the innovation initiative (incremental, adjacent, or disruptive innovation)?

  • Governance model analysis. Does it foster or hinder innovation?

  • Are we measuring success correctly and do we have clearly defined metrics/KPIs for goal achievement?

  • Organization and ecosystem analysis. Are roles clear?

  • Do you have the right talent, culture, and mindset to continuously create successful innovation?

Focus Nº2Innovation Practice

  • Is the current project management practice effective?

  • Do you use the right processes and are they used effectively?

  • Do you use the right methods and are they used effectively?

  • Portfolio evaluation and mapping of current projects

  • Time to Market analysis

  • What's the % of total revenue coming from new products/services? Does it match with your ambition and focus?
