Measuring company’s Innovation Health

As a strategy consultant, I need to diagnose a client's innovation capability and strategic posture. Are there reliable, survey-based tools or scales I can use to measure this objectively, rather than just going by gut feel?

Yes, using validated scales turns gut feel into data. Gauge entrepreneurial appetite with the Entrepreneurial Orientation Scale. Measure innovation muscle with scales from The Innovator's DNA or an Innovation Capability Audit. Assess learning culture with a Learning Orientation Scale. Combine these survey results with classic SWOT and PESTEL analyses. You'll get a benchmarked scorecard showing exactly where the firm's strategy and innovation readiness are strong or weak, which shapes targeted advice.
