Knowledge Innovation assesment

Debra Amidon

The Knowledge Innovation® Assessment is a comprehensive dialogue tool designed to elicit the tacit knowledge resident in an organization. It provides for a systematic analysis of the capacity and capability of an organizations to create and move ideas into the marketplace profitably and expeditiously. It results in a strategy formulation document with a recommended course of action.

The assessment is designed according to a proven management architecture developed in1989 (i.e., performance, structure, people, process and technology) and includes all aspects of the innovation value-system - from idea creation through full commercialization. In this way, the modern management concepts are converted into a unique knowledge strategy intended to provide sustainable advantage.
