How do we know if our teams are truly innovating?
Measure your company’s innovation performance on a continuous basis with our AIM platform
A comprehensive framework
Drawing from decades of research, we use a proven framework that measures innovation capabilities across your company in five core areas: Business Readiness; Market Readiness; Technology Readiness; Future Readiness; and Organizational Readiness. Together, these areas give you a complete picture of innovation performance. With our Assessment for Innovation Maturity (AIM) platform, you see how your teams are doing across all five areas, allowing you and your leadership team to prioritize business goals and innovation initiatives for greater impact in both the short and long term.
Go from once-a-year to constant
Isn’t it time to move beyond the annual survey? Weekly taps ask employees to reflect on the past week rather than the last year, so you have a continuous and reliable pulse on your company’s innovation performance. Our AIM platform analyzes this information quickly, so you know you are always working from the latest results.
Our AIM platform helps you see into your company and know which innovation levers are driving business growth and internal change. AIM tracks innovation progress over time, across groups, and against industry leaders. You can also compare the performance of different business units, regions, or programs. Gain the company snapshot for innovation you’ve always wanted.
Focus on key areas
Drawing from 45 innovation levers, you can further delve into specific themes to see how your company is doing, such as in terms of Digital Culture, Customer Centric, and Radical Innovation. These thematic views are especially useful when you want to see how a particular company initiative – such as digital transformation or design thinking – is progressing past initial launch excitement.
Foster a true culture of growth
Employees can share unfiltered views about your company’s innovation performance, knowing that the AIM platform treats all responses securely and confidentially. We can also include an option to comment, so employees can say whatever is top of mind. Minimum data set rules help ensure everyone feels protected and safe, so they can say what they really think – so you then really know what is going on within your company. Ultimately, AIM helps you to foster a true culture of continuous improvement.
Also, our weekly taps are quick, easy and empowering for your employees. We recommend asking one question each week, letting employees know their voice matters. When distributed across all employees, the combined surveys provides a holistic view of your company’s innovation efforts. And if a weekly pace is too rapid, you can change to monthly taps with quarterly reports.
