In the next 24 years, renewable energy will be the fastest growing energy source and will compete, if not beat, fossil fuel sources when it comes to cost. And by 2050, alternative fuel sources could provide as much as 80 percent of the U.S. electric power. This translates to incredible improvements in the world’s climate crisis and great things for the health of our planet. But it also paves the way for some pretty cool technological innovations. Here’s a look at our multi-part assessment that helps you to understand where you are now and where do you want to go.

The above exercise is pretty quick. It can be completed by any stakeholder in about 15-30 minutes and results in a visual way to represent where one’s Innovation Program technology sits in comparison to industry benchmarks. Additionally, it can be completed by multiple individuals within an organization to calibrate a mutual understanding between their collective Innovation Program departments and/or other internal stakeholders. Maturity (scale of 1 to 10) is explained below.
- Just realized – Process not in place, however, there is a realization of the need.
- Initial (chaotic, ad hoc, individual heroics) – the starting point for use of a new or undocumented repeat process.
- Repeatable – the process is at least documented sufficiently such that repeating the same steps may be attempted.
- Defined – the process is defined/confirmed as a standard business process.
- Capable – the process is quantitatively managed in accordance with agreed-upon metrics.
- Efficient – process management includes deliberate process optimization/improvement.
- Innovator – Started challenging status-quo and incremental innovation started at the edges.
- Disruptor – The tangible impact of the innovation has been proven, started institutionalizing sustainability.
- Market leader – You are nailing it.
- World-class – The true north of all.
And the final Report is:
