The people are the key drivers of innovation

Why is it so important to measure people-centered innovation KPIs?

We want our people to collaborate, share and source knowledge - but this all takes time. We all know exactly how much time every meeting costs! Why should people do this if their success at the end of the year is measured based on something totally else?

What are people-centered innovation KPIs and how can they be captured?

Everyone is talking about the importance of an innovation mindset - but what exactly is it? In Aurelia's PhD she has investigated this question deeply and collected data in different industries and countries. She has identified 6 dimensions that globally capture the highest impact on knowledge exchange and innovative behavior. Hence, the OMIND team has translated these 6 dimensions into the OMINDset evaluation tools!

What exactly are these 6 dimensions?

1) Openness toward new experiences: Doing things differently!
2) Creativity: Thinking outside the box!
3) Positive attitudes toward knowledge sharing: Some people like to share but face psychological barriers to actively sourcing knowledge from others.
4) Positive attitudes toward knowledge sourcing: Some people like to source as much knowledge as they can get but don't want to share their one's knowledge.
5) Risk- and failure tolerance: Being open to trying something new although it might mean failing according to the slogan "Better fail fast!" - and very importantly, forgive yourself if making a mistake!
6) Integrative complexity: The ability to put yourself into the situation of your counterpart and viewing always two sides of a coin!

Are these research results accessible for practitioners through an easy-to-use tool?

Yes, through OMIND consulting and OMIND platform.

With OMIND consulting, Aurelia and her team provide strategic consulting when it comes to developing people-focused KPIs and incentive and reward schemes that facilitate efficient collaboration and innovation.
