  Innovation can (rarely)happen by accident, but it usually doesn't. It can be a one-time event or a systemic process. Companies that invest in creating Innovation systems are usually driven by a hunger to do things better and differently. They are often led by people that are intellectually curious and have a desire to change the world. Innovation can also just be in a company's soul. A low score here is a warning sign. Possible solutions are to visualize the benefits of Innovation and look for quick wins to build confidence that your company can be innovative but also work on a diversification of the workforce in terms of skills/experience...

  Entrepreneurial Orientation representsthe processes, practices and decision-making which are embodied in the entrepreneurial process, closely linked at the level of an innovative business setup. We call it “Inno-Preneurship”. A high measure of Entrepreneurial Orientation reflects the ability of a company to quickly and effectively identify opportunities to build its business in an innovative way, and to take advantage of these business opportunities. This is an important complement to the Innovation Readiness because it is not sufficient to be good at innovating - a company needs to be run in an entrepreneurial way to identify the business opportunities that are the triggers for innovation, and in particular for developing concretely , on an SMTM (Show Me The Money) way, new areas of business. This chart shows how your company compares with all of the companies with a similar profile to yours, with regard to Entrepreneurial Orientation.
