The selection grid in the SAPIGE® method

You've probably had to select one of several innovation projects in an incubator, innovation cluster or company. Haven't you ever had the feeling that you've missed out on a superb opportunity because the application file wasn't sufficiently robust? Selecting an innovation project from an idea is a complex process, especially when the target market is emerging. This sheet presents an innovation project selection grid, an integral part of the Sapige® system, inspired by the Radical Innovation Design® methodology. All twenty-three selection criteria (or elements of proof) are detailed.

• What kind of evidence do you need to gather to measure an idea's potential?

• How to use a selection grid? What criteria should you use?

• Can you use this tool to measure the progress of your own innovation project?
