Innovation Readiness Check

Ten statements about how your team chooses problems, tests ideas, protects them and measures results. You get a score and two practical next steps straight away.

A quick self-check, not a scientific assessment. Your answers stay in your browser unless you ask for your result by email or contact Prof. Sivarao.

1. Problem identificationWe choose projects from problems measured in our own data, not from opinion.
2. Root causeBefore proposing solutions, we confirm the root cause.
3. Idea generationWe use a structured method to produce several options, not one brainstorm.
4. Idea selectionWe score ideas against clear criteria such as impact, cost and feasibility.
5. ValidationWe test an idea with a small experiment or prototype before full funding.
6. IP awarenessBefore developing an idea, we check whether similar solutions or patents exist.
7. Commercial readinessFor each idea, we know who will use or pay for it, and why.
8. LeadershipLeaders give teams time and support to work on improvement ideas.
9. PitchingOur teams can present an idea to decision-makers in ten minutes, with evidence.
10. MeasurementWe track what implemented ideas save in time, cost or quality.
