Innovation Scorecard

As part of our research and analysis activity, the team at Platform Executive assesses and then benchmarks businesses and the industry verticals in which they operate using a proprietary scoring mechanism.

First, we allocate a score of A-E for the industry vertical, gauged on the key organisations operating within the space; and then score the individual business using a 1-5 score.

A score of D-E within an industry means that it is potentially ripe to be disrupted by a new entrant into the marketplace; and/or vulnerable to technological change.

Likewise, a high score of 4-5 for the company in question indicates that in the view of the analysis team it lags behind notable businesses in terms of innovation and product pipeline.

Below is a guide to each score:

A	The industry is amongst the most innovative; with the leading players all driving the sector forward. Example industry: PaaS
B	The industry and its leading players have a good track record of innovation; and can quickly react to change. Example industry: Pharmaceutical
C	Companies operating within the sector have adequate levels of innovation; and engage in R&D activities when appropriate. Example industry: FMCG
D	Businesses operating in the industry do not invest enough time and resource into innovation. The sector is stagnant and a good candidate for disruption. Example industry: Retail Banking
E	The major players in the sector seem to lack suitable product development roadmaps; and as a result the sector is highly vulnerable to industry change. Example industry: Publishing

Company score:

1	The business is amongst the leading players in terms innovation and product pipeline. This will fulfil and reinforce the operations of the business in the medium to long-term.
2	The business has a good track record of innovation, in terms of its products and/or its business model. It is therefore more likely to be able to react and adapt to any changes to the industry.
