Improve has been developed with EU funding as a simple methodology to assess the level of the management of innovation in organisations with between 4 and 200 employees.  It is essential that all new businesses are launched with one or more innovation features and that for existing businesses to survive they must constantly review innovation ideas and have a system in place to identify, select and implement them.  The key ingredient is to ensure that the management of innovation is up to the task.

Connect London uses IMPROVE as a first step to benchmark clients against a large number of organisations in the UK and Europe.  This identifies areas of strength and weaknesses so that a route map can be prepared to help clients plan for improvements.  Connect London offers the Improve audit/benchmarking exercise free of charge to companies in London that are interested in Connect – or considering becoming involved.  Contact Connect London for further details.
