He leido un artículo interesante sobre las métricas que utilizan en Intel para valorar si la inversión en innovación está cumpliendo los objetivos previstos:

• Number of innovation-related rewards and recognitions
• Numbers from various feedback mechanisms, showing employee acceptance and
  understanding of the initiative
• Results from the innovation self assessment capability maturity framework (survey measuring five levels of maturity related to innovation behavior)
• Percentage of our budget dedicated to innovation, research, and exploration of emerging technologies
• Shareholder value created from innovation activities. (Shareholder Value = IT Efficiencies + Business Value provided to the IT customers)
• Number of ideas generated in specific innovation harvesting campaigns
• Number of ideas harvested from the campaigns and turned into implementable projects
• Number of invention disclosure filings (IDFs)
• Number of Intel patent submissions
• Number of white papers published.
