Further Insight Into "9 KPIs That Capture Innovation Performance"
The number of metrics used across industries to measure R&D and product development number more than one thousand. There are metrics for projects, products, processes, technologies, functional and technical disciplines, degrees of innovation, and a dozen other R&D and product development innovation subjects. Then, industries and companies have their own adaptations of these seemingly common metrics.

KPIs At The Top

Our interest for this webinar is the sub-set of metrics, unique unto themselves, that only apply above and across all the activities within the organization. Their purpose is both to facilitate and to capture corporate performance across all activities and organizations. Many executives refer to this group as the "KPIs." There can be corporate-level KPIs that emanate from, or are held at, lower levels in the organization. But, most KPIs originate at the top.

KPIs Are A Hot Topic

Currently there is a fairly large tussle going on between the accounting profession, the SEC, and public corporations regarding Non-GAAP KPIs. CEOs and CFOs are displaying metrics such as "% New Product Sales" and "Return On Innovation" before they display required reporting metrics in their 10K and Annual Report, and related footnotes. Companies are also showing both GAAP metrics and then adjusted GAAP metrics that suit their needs. The SEC is arguing this selective placement and/or adjustment practice is misleading analysts and investors and obscuring the ability to get a clear picture of corporate performance.

Yet, these non-GAAP KPIs are the ones that most seasoned investors and analysts look at the hardest these days. Why? Because knowledge of GAAP performance is assumed by everyone. To get competitive advantage, one must look deeper and beyond. With the exception of the CEO and CFO, these Non-GAAP KPIs are also the KPIs that the rest of management across the company spends most of their time looking at and discussing in meetings.

Just 1 of the 9 KPIs we will discuss at this Webinar is a GAAP KPI, 8 are Non-GAAP KPIs.

It is a pretty exciting time right now if you contribute to what goes into the annual report and where the information will be placed. It is also exciting if you are responsible for the organizations and departments that have to produce the results captured by new KPIs that CEOs and CFOs have decided to include in the 10K and Annual Report.

Not The First Rodeo

The organiser has been a pioneer of improved metrics and KPIs for product development organizations and technologies dating back to the 1980s, what we now refer to as "innovation." The organiser has systematically researched industry usage of these metrics for years. As well, we've contributed to industry adoption of some great metrics such as the Vitality Index and ROInnovation, the two fastest penetrating metrics of the past five decades.

Executive Summary

The number of metrics used to measure R&D and product development number close to one thousand. There are metrics for projects, products, processes, technologies, portfolios, functional and technical disciplines, degrees of innovation, and a host of other innovation-related subjects and activities across the corporation.

Research shows that unless corporations are specific about the metrics they choose to monitor, that they end up spending time on twice the number of metrics than their more discerning competitors. This applies at all levels of the organization where measurement occurs.
