Completing the Check-up.
Why should you complete the Check-up?

When just trying to improve innovation, or implementing any idea management system, where collaboration and trust are fundamental to the success of the system, it is important to know more specifics about the culture of your organization.

• Is the culture supportive?
• Is there a consistent view of the culture across the organization?
• What is a culture which really encourages innovation and effective idea management?
• You will be able to better understand your corporation’s culture by making use of each of the 25 Factors included in the survey.

By participating in the Check-Up survey you will have a much better understanding of all of the above and will therefore be able to set priorities for introducing improvements.

Provide your opinion on the scale provided. Precise responses are not expected – only your opinion on an 'Ideal' situation and your current 'Reality'.

When you have finished you will receive a summary of your entries, your total score compared to other entries, and, for each Factor, you can compare your opinion with other respondents.

For  each Factor:

• First; thinking about an innovative corporation, what is your opinion on the - 'Ideal' - culture which should exist to encourage innovation.
  
  
• Second; enter your opinion on the  actual  - 'Reality' - the culture in your company.

The survey should take about 10~15 minutes to complete.

Have a look at 'Early Results' to get an idea as to the Factors which, based on the data entered to date, emerge as the most important contributors to a positive culture for corporate innovation.

Thank you for taking the time.
