In earlier research, we found that organizations that achieve ambitious strategic objectives launch many digital innovation initiatives and then systematically help most that prove their worth to scale and realize value. These organizations have created an organizational capability to enable multiple initiatives to realize value from their innovation by leveraging shared resources, which we call scaling at scale. In this year’s project, we will collect and analyze survey data regarding three components that contribute to a scaling-at-scale capability: digital innovation initiatives, shared innovation resources, and dynamic resource reallocation.
We will focus on the following research questions:
- How do organizations help promising initiatives to scale and realize value?
- How much do top-performing organizations depend on the three components?
- What practices distinguish organizations that realize significant value from innovation from those that do not?
This project is a continuation of MIT CISR’s 2024 research project “Boosting the Strategic Impact of Digital Innovations: Essential Practices.”
SEEKING: We are seeking participation in the research from executives who have a holistic understanding of their organization’s portfolio of digital innovation investments and practices and the extent to which the organization’s digital innovation initiatives relate to its strategic objectives.
