How to measure the value of innovation in your company

Innovation is essential to the success of any business, but measuring its value can be challenging. This article outlines the importance of measuring innovation and how to do it effectively using key performance indicators (KPIs). Businesses should choose KPIs based on their goals and desired outcomes, and metrics should be adjusted as necessary. The innovation impact model is a useful tool for rating and prioritizing innovations by expected investment and impact. Innovation metrics can be divided into three main categories: business and product, culture, and leadership. Innovation accounting is a structured set of standards and performance measures used to track, monitor, and manage the conversion of ideas into innovations, and gauge investments, success, and impact.
