The Innovation Audit: because work can be a better place Enabling organisations to create the optimim working environment and enhance productivity WHY have we created the Innovation Audit? Data from the perspective of the organisation looking at its employees is already widely available via typical employee engagement and well being surveys. Our approach is unique in that it seeks the views of the individuals within the organisation about the organisation. The Innovation Audit measures the performance of an organisation by exploring and integrating three time perspectives: past, present and future potential. Building on and integrating years of practical experience, established theory and the latest research into ‘resistance to change’ to measure the context, culture, beliefs and behaviours within and across an organisation. It is widely acknowledged organisations that are able to innovate, adapt and respond readily to challenges and opportunities will be most likely to be successful and stay ahead of the market through its ability to innovate and change effectively. The conditions for change readiness and agility are closely linked with how the organisation has dealt with challenges in the past and the culture and management style today. Where an organisation is, in terms of its organisational lifecycle impacts the way in which it thinks and behaves: is your company being forced to innovate to respond to a changing, declining or growing market, or even might it be in denial (an all too common reality) starting to drift strategically? Do past and present behaviours and current culture create the optimum conditions for tomorrow’s challenges? An organisation that is able to listen, reflect and learn, gaining valuable insight, by capturing the views of their own people, will be best positioned for enhanced productivity. Your staff have informed views, this audit process enables you to systematically ‘hear’ their voices enabling you to decide where you want to take the organisation.

How would your people describe the culture and management style of the organisation today? Do people feel they can try new ideas and be allowed to fail and learn without blame. How might they respond to these statements? • •
When someone expresses a different view or position, their reasoning is not explored or asked for There is quite a high level of trust across the organisation The Innovation Audit takes the pulse of the organisation for innovation and change.
