Unlock creativity.

Build capacity.

Turn ideas into impact.

The Innovation Diagnostic helps businesses understand how well they innovate today, where their innovation capacity can be strengthened, and what opportunities exist to embed innovation practices that drive growth.

By benchmarking performance against peers and best practice, it provides a clear picture of innovation capability and highlights the steps needed to transform ideas into successful outcomes.

How it works

The diagnostic explores critical areas of innovation performance:

Innovation Practices
Benchmarks adoption of innovation practices against peers to identify gaps and opportunities for diffusion.
Capacity & Capability
Assesses leadership, culture, resources, and skills that underpin the organisation’s ability to innovate consistently.
Innovation Viability
Evaluates innovations against key tests: Desirability – do customers want it? Feasibility – can we deliver it? Viability – will it create value?

The tool then:

Provides a personalised report benchmarking innovation against peers
Highlights gaps in innovation systems, skills, and culture
Identifies where new ideas can be developed, tested, and scaled
Creates a roadmap for embedding innovation into everyday practice
