Innovation
Innovation Maturity — Oslo
The capacity to innovate systematically, measured across 6 dimensions by the international standard of the Oslo Manual (OECD).
The problem it solves
Is there a budget for innovation? Anyone formally responsible? A strategy that truly guides decisions and a process to turn ideas into new products, processes, and business models?
Most answer vaguely: there are isolated initiatives and occasional efforts, but no system connecting innovative intent to measurable results.
What it assesses
What the assessment evaluates
Each dimension is assessed in depth — no critical area is left out.
Innovation Concept
The four types of innovation in the Oslo Manual: product, process, marketing, and organizational.
Innovation Measures
How the organization plans, executes, and measures innovation investments and impacts.
Factors Affecting Innovation
Internal and external factors that influence the propensity and capacity to innovate.
Innovation Cooperation & Networks
Cooperation with universities, institutes, and companies as a lever for innovation.
Innovation Policies
Formal policies, internal and external incentives, and R&D support.
Innovation Capabilities
Competencies, leadership, technology, and culture that sustain innovation over the long term.
The scale
The 5 maturity levels
Each dimension and the organization as a whole are placed at a clear level — color, number, and name.
No structured practice: ad hoc initiatives, with no process, budget, owners, or metrics.
The organization recognizes innovation and experiments with occasional initiatives, without consistency or coordination.
Practices formalized in critical areas: documented strategy, dedicated budget, processes, and basic metrics.
Innovation as a strategic priority: governance, dedicated teams, partnerships, and systematic measurement of results.
A benchmark in the sector: open innovation, co-creation with the ecosystem, world-class R&D, and a deeply rooted culture.
Calibrated, not generic
Provenance and calibration
The analysis carries the reasoning of the reference frameworks — that’s what separates a calibrated assessment from generic advice.
