The churn rate of innovation has become constant with the emergence of globalization and technological advancements. The ability for organizations to maintain competitive advantage stems from many different veins; however, modern perspective and strategies indicate that for long-term sustainability, firms are scaling outside of their market (blue ocean strategy) or competing within their market (red ocean strategy). Both approaches require organizations to apply non-traditional practices to advance their strategic portfolio. These methods are centered around innovation from disruptive to fast-second and many other innovation methods. Essential components are needed to ensure these innovation strategies can transition ideas into action leading to positive change. The following article provides a framework for leaders to measure organizational capacity for innovation.
