Turn Creative Spark into Systematic Growth
Innovation is more than brainstorming; it is the disciplined ability to turn ideas into repeatable value. Our Innovation Culture Analysis combines EFQM’s Innovation enablers with the brand-new ISO 56001 Innovation Management standard to evaluate how strategy, leadership and everyday behaviours fuel—or frustrate—breakthrough thinking. We map ideation channels, experiment velocity, psychological safety, cross-functional collaboration and reward mechanisms, then compare your scores with industry disruptors and best-practice benchmarks.
Using surveys, executive interviews, focus groups and document review, we expose hidden bottlenecks such as risk-averse budgeting, siloed knowledge, or ‘failure stigma’. A heat-map links each cultural factor to measurable outcomes—time-to-market, patent pipeline, revenue from new products—so leaders can see exactly where culture accelerates or blocks performance.
Creativity is thinking up new things; innovation is doing new things—culture decides whether the doing actually happens.
What the Engagement Delivers
- C-Suite Alignment Workshop – defines the innovation ambition and risk appetite.
- Dual-Lens Diagnostic – EFQM ‘Innovation & Transformation’ criteria plus ISO 56001 clauses scored across eight cultural dimensions.
- Idea-Flow Analysis – visualises where ideas originate, how they are captured and why they stall or succeed.
- Resource-to-Impact Tracker – links innovation spend to commercial and social ROI, revealing hidden inefficiencies.
- Capability-Maturity Roadmap – phased interventions (quick wins, 6-month, 18-month) covering governance, skills, metrics and reward systems.
- Change-Champion Toolkit – communication templates, hackathon guides and recognition frameworks that embed new habits long after the project ends.
The outcome is a data-driven blueprint that transforms ad-hoc creativity into a scalable engine for sustained differentiation and long-term market leadership.
