F4i

The first step to improving your innovation capabilities is to recognise today's resources and barriers to innovation that exist in your business.

This is what our 'Foundations for Innovation' (F4i) solution provides.

How effective is your business innovation?

Developed in conjunction with Imperial College London, F4i assesses the innovation capabilities within your organisation against 57 key best practices. It aims to determine how solid your 'innovation foundations' are and where you should focus your improvement. F4i is based on leading academic thinking married with our own experience working with industrial and service organisations. F4i helps you answer key questions on the effectiveness of innovation in your business:

• Do we have effective leadership for innovation?
• Does our vision and strategy effectively focus our innovation activities?
• How effective is our process for generating, selecting and implementing new ideas?
• How well does our culture and values encourage innovation?
• What skills and methods are in place to support innovation?
• How good is our innovation performance?

We use a range of assessment tools, including consulting and academic-developed solutions in interviews and workshops with your management and employees to assess your innovation capabilities.
