How Does it Work?

In order to build the best team to work on your innovation projects, you must first select the ideal candidates for partaking in the IPA:

• Creative, forward-thinking individuals who are powerful collaborators and team player's drive impactful business ideas and create successful outcomes

• Individuals who are highly motivated, respected and have a win-win mindset should be given preference over individuals who do not take feedback well, are unwilling to experiment and lack commitment

• Human Resources managers look for people who have a facility to build capability and excite people to retain talent 

• Innovation managers look for people who are able to drive projects and maximize the team's innovation potential

There are key success factors that will make your experience with the IPA happen smoothly and generate insightful results:

• Create urgency: The CEO should send a direct email inviting the selected candidates to fill out the online assessment, explaining what will be done, why is it important , and by when

• Give/get support from team: The selected candidates should be able to push collaborators to complete the assessment by the proposed deadline in order to receive speedy and holistic results

• Become familiarized with the IPA: Before filling the IPA, take your time to review its instructions and learn how the platform works to ask questions and get answers beforehand

• Execute on desktop: The assessment should be executed on a desktop, on a server in which pop-up blocking extensions are not installed

Ask peers to assess you on your general level of Innovation Mindset and Knowledge & Tools :

• Give and receive feddback to your co-workers
