Rainforest Scorecard
How do you measure something as intangible as innovation?
The scorecard measurement, meant to bring awareness and understanding of ecosystem issues, serves as a means to create and have ongoing dialogue around a shared cultural narrative of innovation. The scorecard is a snapshot of the ecosystem in time, describing its strengths, weaknesses, and general conditions. The outcome of the scorecard number is to drive behaviours and models of thinking which are shared ecosystem wide. An honest examination of the ecosystem’s assets will work to identify opportunities to improve the culture of innovation.

There are six main areas of an innovation ecosystem to focus on: Culture, Leadership, Activities and Engagements, Policies and Infrastructure, Role Models, and Resources.
We use these pillars to guide our conversations and actions — not all pillars are weighted equally. Like any natural ecosystem, having the right balance is crucial. The left half of the balance/scale is the why and how we choose to do things (our motivations and the manner we choose to act and engage) whereas the right half embodies what we do (the actions that happen in an ecosystem).
