Innovation Mindset Assessment
Today, businesses rise and fall depending on their ability to innovate. The C-me innovative mindset assessment is a structured tool designed to evaluate how individuals or teams think about creativity, change and problem solving. The focus is on attitudes and behaviours that support innovation, such as whether or not they are open to new ideas and uncertainty and whether they display a willingness to experiment.
The Innovation Mindset Assessment: How it Works
Rather than measuring technical creativity by itself, the innovation mindset assessment examines the various factors - both social and psychological - that influence whether an organisation is capable of harbouring innovation or if there would be some kind of institutional resistance.
The innovation mindset assessment is administered by way of surveys, questionnaires, or scenario-based exercises designed to mimic real-world situations. These scenarios ask participants to respond to statements or incidents involving innovation or decision-making. The responses are analysed to reveal patterns in behaviours and mindset.
Areas typically measured by an innovation mindset assessment include:
• Openness to change from individual and organisational perspectives
• Risk tolerance and a general attitude toward failure
• Collaboration and idea-sharing between individuals and teams
• Flexibility when it comes to changing direction
After being collected, findings are summarised in reports and through feedback sessions. Leaders are then able to see where innovation is being supported and where it may be suppressed due to cultural or structural barriers. These results are used to guide the development of leadership coaching programmes or changes to workflows that encourage innovative thinking.
Key benefits of the innovative mindset assessment for organisations include:
• Crystal-clear insights into the readiness of your organisation to accept and even promote change
• Support for leadership and talent development decisions
•The ability to identify skills and attitudes that need further development Stronger alignment between cultural influences and innovation goals

About C-Me
C-me came about as a result of several assessment industry professionals who were disillusioned by the most popular assessment tools of the day, which they found wanting. After a lengthy development phase, they emerged with the C-me suite of assessment tools, which provide a more accurate, less judgmental way to assess individuals and teams.
Today, C-me has been adopted by countless SMEs nationwide as well as by business giants such as Oracle, HSBC, Virgin Active, the NHS and the BBC.
