Innovation Performance Management

Innovation Performance Measurement

Innovation only counts when it has a clear business or financial impact. Kaiser's proprietary Innovation Performance Measure™ (IPM™) is a powerful tool for measuring the direct business / financial impact from innovation investments. Leading global corporations have embraced and adopted this tool and partnered with Kaiser to dramatically improve their innovation performance. Recently, BusinessWeek covered Kaiser's Innovation Performance Index and our pioneering work in this area: Closing the Gap on Innovation Metrics. If you would like a reprint of the BusinessWeek article, please email us innovation@kaiserassociates.com, and include your contact information.

Kaiser uses the Innovation Performance Measure™ to:

• Design and deploy an innovation performance dashboard
• At the Corporate, Business Unit, Geography, and Brand levels

• Perform annual and quarterly Innovation Performance Measure™ certification
• For senior management as well as the investment community

Innovation Performance Capability Assessment / Diagnostic

Kaiser has a proprietary tool for assessing innovation capability across the 4 critical dimensions outlined in the Rae Balanced Scorecard:

• Leadership
• To what extent is leadership engaged in innovation and providing clear direction?
• How effective is our innovation communication?
• Process
• How strong are our innovation processes?
• Do we have a "best-in-class" toolkit?
• People
• Does the culture encourage and support innovation?
• Do we have the right skills and can we better manage the talent base?
• Leverage
• Are there opportunities to enhance collaboration with other internal and external organizations?
• How can we create additional leverage through creative and strategic asset management?

We use this tool to help corporations pinpoint their key strengths and improvement opportunities, and to strike the balance required for enterprise-level, world-class performance.
