| Description: | 2006 article from Business Week about how to quantify innovation and avoid mistakes. It begins: "The buzz around innovation is expanding to monstrous proportions.

A wise use of metrics can improve a company's innovation "hit rate," and help companies make the right choices, faster, with less risk of failure." There is a slide show (with voice over) on this from Jump Associates. The image from the architectural design from this slide show. |
