The Institutional Innovation Diagnostic is an institutional self-assessment tool that allows for a structured evaluation of an institution's capacity to promote, manage, and consolidate innovation processes across its various functions and areas of operation. This diagnostic facilitates the identification of strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement in areas such as innovation culture, leadership, internal coordination, initiative generation, engagement with external stakeholders, and mechanisms for transforming ideas into results. It thus becomes a tool for strategic decision-making, strengthening institutional capacities, and building more dynamic, collaborative, and change-oriented environments.
How does it work?
- Personnel and management mechanisms: assess whether the institution has teams, roles, and formal processes to manage innovation.
- Financing and funding: analyzes the institutional capacity to obtain, allocate and sustain resources for innovation activities.
- Internal incentives: check if there are incentives that motivate the university community to participate in innovation processes.
- Relationship with the environment: examines the level of connection with companies, the public sector, society and other actors in the ecosystem.
- Intellectual property: values the existence of policies, processes and capabilities to protect and manage innovative results.
- Open innovation: measures the institution's ability to collaborate externally, co-create solutions, and participate in innovation networks or challenges.
Benefits:
- Strengthen their capacity to respond to internal and external challenges through innovation.
