Whose responsibility is it to develop these metrics and establish consistency across the whole portfolio or even the whole company? If this were any other kind of project, the answer would be obvious: finance. A finance function that wants to support innovation (instead of hindering it) will have to do this work, hopefully in partnership with the new entrepreneurship function. For the largest organizations, this will have to include establishing an “innovation audit” process to ensure this new kind of standard work is being adopted everywhere.
