Innovation Metrics

How many product development organizations are truly innovating? And of those that are, how many can measure innovation and rely on it as a corporate capability?

Innovation metrics are not about measuring for the sake of measurement. They are about creating a reliable and predictable innovation factory.

The best metrics do not just measure results after the fact – they measure processes that predict success.

Innovation metrics are not as much about measuring results as organizing and optimizing the behaviors that produce results.
