5. Extend the use of the selection grid to support your project

In addition to using this selection grid to filter innovation projects, you can also use it to make an initial diagnosis of your own project. It can then be used to monitor and steer its development. Regularly, throughout the project's milestones, you can use it to measure its strengths and weaknesses, and supplement them with new studies or expert appraisals. These various deliverables can be produced within your R&D organization or by calling on outside players. This grid enables you to professionalize the open innovation aspect of your project. It will help you draw up your roadmap and define your scope of action.
