The Seven Themes
A — The Innovation Leader
To support the leader in achieving their goals and ambitions, this theme focuses on developing an action plan to overcome obstacles and help the leader reach the expected level of performance; this theme specifically targets the innovation leader rather than the organization as a whole.
B — An Innovation Project or Program
This theme specifically targets a project or program (a portfolio of projects), from its definition through to closure, including monitoring and control during execution. Backed by a comprehensive toolkit and personalized advice, the leader will be supported in managing their innovation project or program.
C — Strategic Innovation
Moving from tactical to strategic innovation is no small task: a set of winning conditions supports this kind of shift. This coaching theme aims to support the leader through that strategic transition.
D — Innovation Performance
Practically everything is measured in organizations, but innovation often falls short in this regard. This theme first focuses on identifying the right performance indicators to properly measure innovation, then enables benchmarking against comparable organizations. Guidance is then provided to improve the organization’s performance.
E — Innovation as a Business Opportunity
Many organizations have solid innovation management practices in place. Even so, innovation is often expected to contribute more to the organization’s financial performance. This theme unfolds in two steps: first, measuring the lost opportunity from pending projects or ambitious ideas that go unrealized due to a lack of resources; then, developing strategies to capture these gains while demonstrating the business opportunity and the return on investment.
F — Innovation Launch
Innovation launch is likely one of the most important and complex organizational processes. First, because it aims to capture value from the effort and investment put into product or service development, and second, because it requires numerous functions to work in a coordinated way. Yet many organizations fail to maximize their return on investment due to an inefficient, poorly synchronized process. This theme focuses on auditing stakeholder practices and developing improvement avenues to unlock the full potential of innovations.
