Companies that work with design and innovation at a strategic level gain a significant competitive advantage. They outperform companies that don’t work with design and innovation at a strategic level.
For many companies, it is therefore important that there is a constant focus on innovation processes at all levels.
With IPA Innovation Analysis, we capture both the willingness to take responsibility for the team’s performance at all stages of the creative innovation process AND the inherent personal talent for creativity, relationship management, drive and analysis.
IPA Innovation Analysis can be used for both screening talent in relation to groups of employees and managers AND for building innovative teams where both talent and personal attributes are represented in relation to the team’s tasks, goals and success criteria.

BACKGROUND AND POTENTIAL OF INNOVATION ANALYSIS
The innovation analysis is developed as part of a comprehensive analysis system used for the selection and development of managers within the functions and units whose task it is to ensure each company’s innovation capacity.
The analysis system was developed by IPA Nordic – and validated at Volvo Cars and Volvo Trucks in Gothenburg, among others. This Innovation Analysis is built on the same basic integral idea as used in the development of all tools at IPA Nordic.
In the final assessment of innovation talent, we combine the results from the Innovation Analysis with the IPA Analysis in an overall “Innovation Capability Chart“.
This allows us to strengthen the innovation and development efforts in the organization through an assessment of the individual employee/manager’s talent AND the composition of innovation teams where all necessary positions are staffed.
