How This Helps You
Using this self-assessment, you can uncover hidden weaknesses in how your organisation approves, funds, monitors, and adapts innovation initiatives, risks that often go undetected until after a compliance failure or strategic setback. Each of the 600+ questions targets a specific governance control or policy condition proven to mitigate innovation drift, regulatory non-compliance, or ethical breaches. By completing the assessment, you gain a defensible, auditable record of due diligence that aligns with ISO 56002 (Innovation Management Systems) and EU AI Act governance requirements. You’ll be able to demonstrate to auditors, boards, and regulators that innovation is not operating in a policy vacuum. Delaying this evaluation means continuing to operate without clear oversight mechanisms, increasing exposure to rogue projects, unauthorised experimentation, and reputational damage. With this kit, you transform governance from a barrier to innovation into an enabler, embedding agility, compliance, and strategic focus into every stage of your innovation pipeline.
