Innovation Strengths Preference Indicator™ 

Welcome to the home of the Innovation Strengths Preference Indicator™ (ISPI™), developed by Idea Connection Systems, Inc.

The results of the ISPI™ can be used for:

Individual Development, Coaching, Team Creation and Analysis, Project Analysis, Organizational Analysis and Assessment, as well as Innovation System Creation and Overhaul

Why take the ISPI™? What does it do for you?

Let's begin with the big picture. Innovation is the one thing that secures the future of any organization. And innovation takes place along a continuum that runs from everyday improvements also called "Continuous Improvement" on the one end to Revolutionary (disruptive) innovation also called "Breakthrough Innovation" on the other end.

And what does it take to innovate? In a word, people. People, working effectively in concert with others, innovate. But what kinds of people? Did you know that some people actually "prefer" to work on Continuous Improvement projects while others truly prefer to work on Breakthrough Innovation? Not only are people different in the way they approach coming up with ideas, they also have very different approaches to taking risk as well as the processes they use when creating something new.

There's no question that people's skills, experiences and expertise matter to the innovation process. We can see these things rather easily. But their internal predisposition toward one kind of innovation vs. another is often invisible to others. And it matters more than you’d think.

The ISPI™ can show you many things that impact the innovation efforts in your organization. Things like:

• What kinds of innovation projects are people best suited for?
• What impacts their motivation?
• What kinds of people will work best together given the kind of innovation you want to pursue?
• How do people prefer to work with others on teams?
• What kinds of roles on teams are people best suited to take on?
• What is the best environment for each kind of innovation team?
