Survey

Stiffer competition, increased globalisation, more demandng consumers and shorter product life cycles are all fuelling a higher-than-ever interest in innovation and, specifically new product and service development.  Ireland’s Smart Economy puts innovation firmly at the heart of plans for economic prosperity. But although many companies have innovation as a top priority, very few have it as a core competency. 

Dublin Innovation week (Nov 10-21st) offers companies an opportunity to explore how they might accelerate innovation in their firms.To coincide with the capital’s festival of innovation, we are pleased to launch The Irish Innovation Index which will offer organisations a rigorous, original and definitive online assessment tool of their innovation capability. 

Developed in conjunction with UCD’s Geary Institute, The Irish Innovation Index synthesises all the international work in innovation auditing to create a unifying and robust, new framework through which Irish companies can evaluate just how innovation-centric they really are. 

Designed around a straighforward questionnaire of under 20 questions, this index will provide companies with an accurate diagnostic of where and how they need to enhance their innovation skills, processes, structures and portfolio to deliver tangible results.  UsingThe Irish Innovation Indexwill assist companies, large and small, to develop a roadmap to improve innovation performance.
