5. INTERPRETING
RESULTS
It is important to note that correcting weaknesses is
not always the best strategy. A lot of research on
personal and corporate development shows
companies can often achieve more by building on
Strengths and Opportunities than by correcting
Weaknesses....
BUILDING ON STRENGTHS:

7. Innovation can (rarely) happen by accident, but it
usually doesn't. It can be a one-time event or a
systemic process.
Companies that invest in creating Innovation
systems are usually driven by a hunger to do things
better and differently. They are often led by people
that are intellectually curious and have a desire to
change the world. Innovation can also just be in a
company's soul.
A low score here is a warning sign. Possible
solutions are to visualize the benefits of Innovation
and look for quick wins to build confidence that your
company can be innovative but also work on a
diversification of the workforce in terms of
skills/experience...

8. Entrepreneurial Orientation represents the processes, practices
and decision-making which are embodied in the entrepreneurial
process, closely linked at the level of an innovative business setup.
We call it “Inno-Preneurship”.
A high measure of Entrepreneurial Orientation reflects the ability of
a company to quickly and effectively identify opportunities to build
its business in an innovative way, and to take advantage of these
business opportunities. This is an important complement to the
Innovation Readiness because it is not sufficient to be good at
innovating - a company needs to be run in an entrepreneurial way
to identify the business opportunities that are the triggers for
innovation, and in particular for developing concretely , on an
SMTM (Show Me The Money) way, new areas of business.
This chart shows how your company compares with all of the
companies with a similar profile to yours, with regard to
Entrepreneurial Orientation.

9. Innovation activities need to fit in the context of
the longer term direction of your company.
A high score on this factor indicates that you have
a very clear vision of the future of the business,
you are continually planning to develop the
business, and you are continually looking for ways
to balance activities across the different areas of
your company and, last but not least, innovation is
concretely handled on the field as a strategic long
term initiative. Board and C-Level executives
should clearly be involved herewith.

ORIENTATION
Learning Orientation refers to organization-wide
activity of creating and using knowledge to enhance
competitive advantage. This includes obtaining and
sharing information about customer needs, market
changes, and competitor actions, as well as
development of new technologies to create new
highly competitive products that are by essence
superior to those of competitors.
Your Learning Orientation influences what kind of
information is gathered and how it is interpreted,
evaluated, and shared. The 3 key components of
learning orientation are 1/ Commitment to Learning 2/
Open-mindedness and 3/ Intra-organizational
Knowledge Sharing.
