Assessment

Innovation Health Self-Assessment

A compact, repeatable interactive assessment that surfaces capability gaps, operational blockers, and prioritized 90-day actions to strengthen discovery, experimentation, and adoption.

Interactive Tool

Innovation Health Self-Assessment

Use this compact, repeatable assessment to quickly surface the highest-impact risks and opportunities that affect your team's ability to discover, experiment, and deliver innovations. Complete the scales honestly, then capture the top gaps and commit to 1–3 clear 90-day actions. Plan to run this assessment quarterly and use saved responses to measure progress.

How scoring works

Each statement uses a 1–5 scale: 1 = Strongly disagree / Very weak, 3 = Mixed / Inconsistent, 5 = Strong / Consistent. After submission, review your dimension averages and the gap notes to choose prioritized, practical next steps.
