A Tool for Improving Construction Organizations' Innovation Capabilities
Nearly 200 interviews and surveys collected by a Construction Industry Institute research indicate that innovation is valued within large engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) organizations but is hindered by organizational factors such as lack of resources allocated to innovation efforts; low risk tolerance; and a failure to establish innovation-enhancing processes. To enable EPC organizations to evaluate and improve their innovation capabilities, the team created an Innovation Maturity Model (IMM) that evaluates an organization in each of 61 innovation-related attributes. The IMM, which is based on the data collected and a review of relevant innovation literature, includes a macro-enabled spreadsheet that aggregates the individual survey data, identifies the ten attributes offering the greatest opportunity for improvement, and provides the recommendations for improving these ten attributes. The IMM was pilot tested using six large EPC organizations and will be available through the Web.
