Innovation Audit

Rowan Gillespie -

Benchmark your innovation effectiveness and develop a plan to take your capabilities to the next level

Many organisations recognise the need to innovate more consistently and systematically, but are unsure where to start. Too often, they invest time and money in large and disruptive change management initiatives, which fail to deliver the desired results.

Our Innovation Audit is a fast, comprehensive and holistic review and benchmark of your organisation’s existing innovation capabilities. We provide practical and actionable advice for unlocking hidden opportunities, creating enablers, clearing critical roadblocks, and building a strong foundation on which innovation can flourish.

Benefits and Key Results:

  1. More Innovative Culture

    Raise awareness and understanding of the innovation process across the organisation. Encourage the right behaviours to foster an innovative culture.

  2. Unlock Hidden Creativity & Ideas

    Identify and unshackle hidden pockets of innovation in the organisation, which were previously held back by conflicting rules, bureaucracy, and priorities.

  3. Improve Innovation ROI

    Stop engaging in innovation theatre — wasting time and money on high-profile initiatives that have the appearance of being innovative, but fail to deliver tangible results.

  4. Rapid Experimentation Capability

    Equip your people and teams with knowledge, tools, and support systems, enabling them to rapidly and cheaply identify, test, and validate innovation opportunities. Make investment decisions based on firm evidence of a market, rather than guesswork and untested assumptions.

  5. Accelerate Product Development

    Commercialise products faster, creating strong revenue streams and higher margins.
