Organizational Assessment for Innovation

Before you commit to an innovation initiative, understand what could stand in its way.

Before investing, understand the organization.

Whether developing a new solution or preparing to implement one, leaders need to understand the people, capabilities, systems, and resources the innovation initiative will depend on.

The AMPLIFIED! Organizational Assessment is a 30-day sponsored applied research engagement that examines these conditions and provides evidence-supported findings and prioritized next steps before significant resources are committed.

Uneven Alignment

People may see different priorities or hesitate to raise concerns.

Unclear Purpose

Teams may not agree on what the innovation should achieve.

Capability Gaps

The proposed work may require knowledge and skills not yet available.

Operational Friction

Existing workflows, staffing, or time may constrain progress.

Decision Uncertainty

Ownership, authority, and leadership expectations may be unclear.

Unclear Outcomes

Success measures and current baselines may not be established.

What could stand in the way of your next innovation?

Discuss Your Next Innovation

Start with a 30-minute conversation to explore your proposed initiative and determine whether an Organizational Assessment makes sense.

Understand what your innovation will require.

AMPLIFIED! begins with the intended outcome and examines the people, capabilities, systems, resources, and current work a proposed innovation would depend on—whether developing a new solution or preparing to implement one.

Identify what could stand in the way.

We compare leadership assumptions with organizational perspectives and evidence to identify potential barriers, existing strengths, and unanswered questions. This helps distinguish what the evidence supports from what requires further investigation.

Decide what to address first.

AMPLIFIED! translates findings into prioritized recommendations that inform decisions about whether to proceed, address potential barriers, test assumptions, or investigate further before committing significant resources.

Know what deserves attention before you invest.

The 30-day AMPLIFIED! Organizational Assessment examines current conditions against the demands of a proposed innovation. Sponsors receive evidence-supported findings and prioritized recommendations to guide their next decision.

A clear picture of current conditions.

An assessment report and heat map reveal strengths, potential barriers, and differences across organizational perspectives.

Priorities grounded in evidence.

Supported problem statements identify barriers worth addressing, their potential consequences, and questions requiring further investigation.

A basis for the next decision.

Recommendations help leaders decide whether to proceed, address barriers, test assumptions, or investigate further—with proposed next steps and responsibilities.

Think of it as due diligence for your next innovation.
