Further Insight Into "9 KPIs That Capture Innovation Performance"
The number of metrics used across industries to measure R&D and product development number more than one thousand. There are metrics for projects, products, processes, technologies, functional and technical disciplines, degrees of innovation, and a dozen other R&D and product development innovation subjects. Then, industries and companies have their own adaptations of these seemingly common metrics.This paper focuses on the sub-set of metrics, unique unto themselves, that only apply above and across all the activities within the organization. Their purpose is both to facilitate and to capture corporate performance across all activities and organizations. Many executives refer to this group as the "KPIs." There can be corporate-level KPIs that emanate from, or are held at, lower levels in the organization. But, most KPIs originate at the top.
