Innovation requires two things:
People who recognize their creative genius, and a team culture brave enough to unleash it.
The Hodges 12 Team Innovation Index™ measures both
Best for teams of 5-25
Not sure is this is right for your team?
Let’s schedule a discovery call.
Organizations need innovation to survive.
But most don't know how to create the conditions for it.
The Hodges 12 Team Innovation Index™ reveals both sides of the innovation equation.
First, it maps the individual creative strengths of every team member through their Creative Genius Trifecta. It shows exactly what creative firepower you have on the team and where you may have gaps.
Second, it measures 14 dimensions of team culture to identify the catalyzing factors for creativity and reveals whether the environment is nurturing or hindering the team's creative potential.
Both are essential. Individual creative talent without a supportive culture gets stifled.
A creative culture without diverse creative strengths has nothing to unleash.
The Team Innovation Index ™ gives leaders the complete picture, and practical steps to unlock their team's full creative potential and drive innovation

Creativity is the engine that drives innovation.
Creativity is generating novel and useful ideas. Innovation is implementing them. You can't have innovation without creativity. Organizations that focus only on innovation without nurturing creativity are trying to drive a car without fuel.
The Team Innovation Index ™ measures the conditions where creativity thrives, because that's where innovation begins.
No Creativity. No Innovation.
Creativity is where ideas are born. Innovation is where ideas go to work. One feeds the other. If your team isn't innovating, the problem likely starts upstream with the conditions for creativity.
Every person on your team has a creative genius. The question is: do they know it? And more importantly, does your team know how to leverage it together?
Both of these programs help your team discover their individual creative genius, map their collective strengths, diagnose their creative culture, and transform how they work together.
Everyone on your team will take The Hodges 12 Team Innovation Index™ which includes their individual profile and the team profile which we will explore and activate together.
Two options are available based on your team's needs and readiness:
