Leading Edge Only’s Post

For over 30 years, I’ve been building and investing in startups. From this pattern, I started advising AEC and CRE firms on their innovation strategy and roadmap. The integration of this experience and hundreds of points assessment data, I developed an assessment tool to answer: How are we doing compared to our peer group? How are we progressing in our innovation strategy? Where should we invest our resources to meet both near term and long term business objectives? We will be launching the BETA program in a few weeks and are looking for a dozen or so AEC and CRE firms of various sizes to test our assessment tool and provide feedback on how it could be improved. It’s called DIAL What is DIAL? The DIAL framework is a dynamic tool designed to assess and evaluate a company's innovation journey. It provides a snapshot of your current innovation maturity, offering a clear view of where your organization stands. With this insight, companies can identify their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, driving innovation and achieving sustainable growth. The significance of the DIAL framework lies in its ability to deliver a structured assessment of an organization's innovation capabilities. By examining key components such as internal and external innovation, ecosystem engagement, culture, blue-sky ideation, and tech adoption, the framework offers a detailed overview of an organization's innovation landscape. It highlights both areas of excellence and those requiring immediate attention, enabling leaders to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively. Understanding your current state of innovation is crucial for knowing where your organization stands and how it compares to your competitors. The DIAL framework supports proactive planning for the future by encouraging organizations to think beyond incremental improvements and explore disruptive and transformative ideas. It helps you envision the future of your industry and develop strategies to stay ahead of emerging trends and technological advancements. There is no charge now or ever to use the tool. Why DIAL? We think the assessment will be helpful in driving innovation in your firm. This aligns with our mission. In the event you need help executing the recommendations, we are happy to support with our advisory services. By participating in the BETA, we will provide a complimentary session to review the findings with you and provide insights. Click below to sign up for this BETA and we will be in touch. I’m looking forward to helping you understand your innovation journey. https://lnkd.in/ez4cm6Tc

The Power of an Innovation Ecosystem – Thriving in a Collaborative Future 🌟 Thriving in the era of open innovation requires more than just finding the right partners—it requires building an entire innovation ecosystem. This ecosystem includes external partners such as startups, universities, and industry bodies, but it also extends internally to key stakeholders who foster a culture of risk-taking, experimentation, and collaboration. In a truly collaborative innovation ecosystem, every player—whether they’re a customer, supplier, or industry expert—contributes to the collective growth of the company. This symbiotic relationship amplifies the innovation capabilities of all involved, resulting in a more dynamic and resilient organization poised to seize new opportunities. Building such an ecosystem isn’t just about having the right processes in place—it’s about fostering an environment where innovation thrives through mutual support. Partners like Strategic Intelligence provide the strategies and tools to build and nurture these ecosystems, ensuring that innovation is continuous and sustainable. 🤝 Is your company creating an innovation ecosystem that encourages growth through collaboration?
