How to Assess and Measure Business Innovation

Assessing and Measuring Innovation is part one in a 5-volume series investigating why some innovations have proven to be exponentially influential and identifying which elements matter most in transforming brilliant ideas into practical ones. Based on hard data from thousands of enterprises and penetrating insights from professional innovation consultants, this volume guides business leaders and innovation practitioners through a critical self-assessment prior to the launch of any innovative project. The InnoSurvey™ introduced in this series represents the world's largest database on business innovation.
