IM Maturity Assessment

Helping companies determine their IM maturity

One of the most valuable tools CIMS offers can assess a company's level of innovation-management proficiency. The IM Maturity Assessment is based on 25 years of CIMS research into the best practices of leading corporations.
 
By department,  or throughout your entire enterprise, rate your organization's performance across the five core competencies and five management dimensions of innovation. Obtain valuable insight into its current proficiency for creating new, differentiated products and services. We help you identify potential IM 'gaps' and provide you the tools and programs to close them.  This short diagnostic will give you a view into how innovation can be measured in your company. Once completed, your results are immediately 'heat mapped' to illustrate your organization's strengths and weaknesses.  This easy- to- read display guides management on where to focus on the areas that need the most help.

 

The IM Maturity Assessment in a Nutshell.

• The assessment is divided into two parts: core competencies and management dimensions. 
• Rate 10 components using a scale from 1 to 5.
• Respond from the perspective that gives you the most insight, whether it’s your function, your business unit, or your entire company.
• The entire assessment should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.

Expand the Power of the IM Maturity Assessment
The real power of the assessment is realized when it’s is expanded to take into account the demographics of your organization --– for example, an employee’s length of tenure, position, function, etc. This provides management with more reliable results and a more convincing case for change.
