the problem
Most innovation efforts don’t drive growth
According to a recent McKinsey report, 84% of executives say innovation is critical to growth, yet only 6% are satisfied with their innovation performance.
Most organisations play it safe by maintaining the focus on continuous improvement aka ‘incremental innovation’, whilst simultaneously talking about the need to be more radical, or disruptive.
The challenge? They haven’t built the capability and culture that innovation requires.

The solution
Build an innovation system that puts culture at the centre
True competitive advantage lies in your organisations’ ability to repeatedly solve problems and capitalise on opportunities. That means building innovation as a capability, and that requires the right system.
Our approach integrates leadership strategy with behavioural culture change – moving innovation from episodic efforts to a scalable capability embedded in your organisation’s DNA.

Frequently asked questions
An Innovation Maturity Assessment provides a structured, evidence-based views of your organisation’s current capacity to innovate. It benchmarks your current innovation capabilities across cultural alignment, team dynamics, processes and leadership. Businesses use it to identify gaps, build a roadmap for innovation and drive growth. In an era where innovation is a strategic necessity, this tool helps leaders make informed, focused investments that accelerate business growth.
You can measure innovation culture by assessing leadership behaviours, collaboration levels, psychological safety, risk-taking attitudes and how ideas are implemented. Our award-winning framework provides a practical and evidence-based way to capture this across your teams – it provides a clear map of where you’re excelling and where targeted improvements are needed to unlock value.
Knowing your innovation maturity enables smarter investment decisions, faster team alignment, stronger leadership buy-in and more targeted innovation initiatives. Innovation assessments foster honest conversations, build shared language, and reduce resistance to change. They help organisations move towards a culture of continuous creativity, and empower teams to take ownership of innovation goals. Research shows organisations that assess maturity are 3x more likely to succeed at embedding innovation.
Organisations that use our framework report higher innovation success rates, increased market responsiveness, reduced waste in innovation investments, and stronger leadership engagement. These outcomes are tracked through clear KPIs, enabling you to demonstrate true return on innovation.
