    Why is innovation and reputation important to an organisation?They are key 'value drivers'

    Any organisation needs to be continuously innovating across the extended enterprise in process, service and product arenas. Nothing else works.

    This requires an attitude shift from everyone in a company from the mere acceptance of change, to the constant pursuit of innovation.

"Beyond continual improvement, total quality and reengineering, recognise innovation as the key driver of sustainable top and bottom growth." Professors Nordstrom & Ridderstrale Funky Business © 2000

There is sufficient evidence to show that an embedded culture of innovation is a powerful predictor of future success and profitability.

There are volumes now written on the key importance of this for any organisation and the case made is difficult to resist. But do you really know how truly embedded such a desirable culture is in your own organisation? It would pay handsome dividends if you were to find out.

The information will point unambiguously to zones of excellence and zones of weakness in your culture of innovation. Such knowledge creates opportunities for management to raise organisational performance for sustained future success, helping to create long term shareholder value, the very essence of quality management.

INNOVATION MEASURES

People Depth-Reach R & D Tolerance of Failure
Other People Welfare Supplier Loyalty Business Energy

Outreach Receptiveness Policies Risk & Reward
Culture-Structure Customer Loyalty Future Orientation Teams

These dimensions are all measured from the perspective of innovation as perceived by all levels of staff, and then we go deeper still by examination across 2 levels of future expectation - how things will be and how things should be.

It is this future perspective compared against how things actually are that offers up to management 'hidden intelligence' of predictive quality.

Reputation is hard won and all too easily lost. It is a fragile asset. Reputation affects value in these days of the 'global village' where information both false and factual travels at the speed of digital data. It is as important to protect both the internal reputation, with employees and the external one with customers, suppliers and investors. Nothing can be left to chance.

But are you doing enough to protect this asset? The only way to know for sure is to ask employees. The FutureFIT Profiler does just this for you in a controlled and valid way.

Once again, we also go deeper by examination across 2 levels of future expectation - how things will be and how things should be. This data rich information gives management and investors important insights of real value.
