Innovation is once again at the centre of many corporations' strategies and plans. The key to sustainable innovation has been the subject of much enquiry. Organizations that combine an understanding of behaviour in their people within an enabling social framework appear to be consistently innovative. Interactives assesses this in terms of the degree of connectivity (social and formal networks, peer acceptance) and subjectivity (organic vs mechanistic approach) in the organization's processes.

The following short quiz will provide an insight into how well prepared your organization is for consistent innovation. Once you have completed all the questions, your responses will be emailed to us and we will provide you with a brief outline of what they mean. This quiz is an extract from our assessment process of innovation capability and can be used in conjunction with our mapping tool for identifying the key links in the innovation chain."
