Let's talk about people - the key drivers of innovation!

The people are the key drivers of innovation

Why is it so important to measure people-centered innovation
KPIs?


We want our people to collaborate, share and source knowledge -
but this all takes time. We all know exactly how much time every
meeting costs! Why should people do this if their success at the
end of the year is measured based on something totally else?


What are people-centered innovation KPIs and how can they be
captured?


Everyone is talking about the importance of an innovation mindset
- but what exactly is it? In Aurelia's PhD she has investigated
this question deeply and collected data in different industries
and countries. She has identified 6 dimensions that globally
capture the highest impact on knowledge exchange and innovative
behavior. Hence, the OMIND team has translated these 6 dimensions
into the OMINDset evaluation tools!


What exactly are these 6 dimensions?


1) Openness toward new experiences: Doing things
differently!
2) Creativity: Thinking outside the box!
3) Positive attitudes toward knowledge sharing: Some people like
to share but face psychological barriers to actively sourcing
knowledge from others.
4) Positive attitudes toward knowledge sourcing: Some people like
to source as much knowledge as they can get but don't want to
share their one's knowledge.
5) Risk- and failure tolerance: Being open to trying something
new although it might mean failing according to the slogan
"Better fail fast!" - and very importantly, forgive yourself if
making a mistake!
6) Integrative complexity: The ability to put yourself into the
situation of your counterpart and viewing always two sides of a
coin!




Are these research results accessible for practitioners through
an easy-to-use tool?


Yes, through OMIND consulting and OMIND platform.
