In our prior discussions, we emphasized the critical role of innovation in business success and introduced the concept of “Innovation Maturity” (Navigating the landscape of innovation). With a pressing need for organizations to assess their preparedness for the future, we explored key questions surrounding the maturity and capability of innovation programs (From pressure to Progress). An Innovation Maturity Assessment, executed through world-class methods, serves as a compass to uncover an organization’s innovation strengths and weaknesses. It is not a pass or fail exercise but a starting point to navigate toward strategic innovation goals.
In this article, we will delve into the stages of evaluating organizations’ innovation maturity, a process expertly conducted by our professionals at Innotech.
