Innovation Metrics

TTool · Innovation Metrics

By , Editor · · What’s Next

You're spending on innovation. Leadership wants proof it's working. The numbers you have measure effort, not outcomes.

Innovation metrics are measures for tracking innovation inputs, activities, and outcomes across an organisation. You select indicators at each stage — investment and time allocated, experiments run and prototypes built, new products launched and revenue generated — then watch whether the portfolio is actually producing.

Two stacked bands contrasting output - operational metrics (revenue, retention, NPS) against input - innovation metrics, the lower band broken into five numbered items 01 to 05: experiments, falsified, time, pivots, and discipline. A banner reads "wrong measure on the wrong team produces theatre."
