Guidance Notes
Teams and Organisations should have a robust process for identifying the most effective and efficient way of maximising their Measures of Success and delivering their Vision and future Objectives.
This process should:
- Enable the identification and evaluation of a wide range of ideas to identify those most likely to be successful and deliver the most value
- Enable the identification of the optimal strategy, solution, time, effort, and budget required to implement change initiatives, with a collective review process to agree when this has been achieved
- Be experimentally driven, focusing on learning (rather than delivery) to reduce unknowns and risk.
- Be innovation funded – starting with small investments and then incrementally increasing this as ideas get whittled down to those most likely to be successful.
- Incorporate continuous prioritisation of the innovation portfolio based on those ideas most likely to be successful.
