Kaplan Professional, a global leader in corporate learning and
development, today announced the launch of the Corporate Innovation
Diagnostic, a major assessment tool in measuring and increasing
innovative thinking in the corporate workforce.
“Getting innovation right is very difficult, and a constant
challenge for organizations,” said Andrew Perkins, Kaplan Global
Director of Leadership and Professional Development. “We know that
innovation is a major driver in commercial success and that
innovative organizations don’t follow the crowd, they lead it. They
don’t compete in the market, they create new markets. So, the
question is, why isn't your business innovative?”
Working with ChangeSchool, an executive education consultancy
specializing in Innovation, Kaplan has developed a unique process
that combines a diagnostic tool that identifies those aspects of
current practices and culture that hinder innovative practice,
along with a tailored program designed to develop the skills,
practices and culture that encourage and nurture innovative
corporate eco-systems.
The diagnostic presents business scenarios and poses two key
questions: Do you know the best response, and how confident are you
that your answer is correct? With a few complex algorithms and a
wealth of expertise, the answers are analyzed to give a clear
picture of who is aligned to the best innovative practice, and who
is likely to hinder best practice. This helps to target and tailor
training and development to those that need it most.
Professionals then work with the organization to understand what
innovation means in that environment. Scenarios and related
questions are created based on the themes and issues that emerge
from conversations and a selected group pilot the assessment to
enable necessary adjustments. The organization is then surveyed and
results are shared with leadership to plan a tailored Innovation
Development Program.
