It is important to note that correcting weaknesses is not always the
best strategy. A lot of research on personal and corporate development
shows companies can often achieve more by building on Strengths and
Opportunities than by correcting Weaknesses....
Building on strengths:
Look for trends
Don’t look at single
questions look at
groups
Compare vs. Benchmarks
Some questions everyone
scores low. Look at benchmarks

Innovation can (rarely) happen by accident, but it
usually doesn't. It can be a one-time event or a
systemic process. Companies that invest in creating
Innovation systems are usually driven by a hunger to
do things better and differently. They are often led
by people that are intellectually curious and have a
desire to change the world. Innovation can also just
be in a company's soul. A low score here is a warning
sign. Possible solutions are to visualize the benefits
of Innovation and look for quick wins to build
confidence that your company can be innovative but
also work on a diversification of the workforce in
terms of skills/experience...

Entrepreneurial Orientation represents the processes, practices and
decision-making which are embodied in the entrepreneurial process,
closely linked at the level of an innovative business setup. We call it
“Inno-Preneurship” .
A high measure of Entrepreneurial Orientation reflects the ability of a
company to quickly and effectively identify opportunities to build its
business in an innovative way, and to take advantage of these
business opportunities. This is an important complement to the
Innovation Readiness because it is not sufficient to be good at
innovating - a company needs to be run in an entrepreneurial way to
identify the business opportunities that are the triggers for
innovation, and in particular for developing concretely , on an SMTM
(Show Me The Money) way, new areas of business.
This chart shows how your company compares with all of the
companies with a similar profile to yours, with regard to
Entrepreneurial Orientation.

Innovation activities need to fit in the context of the
longer term direction of your company. A high score on
this factor indicates that you have a very clear vision of
the future of the business, you are continually planning
to develop the business, and you are continually looking
for ways to balance activities across the different areas
of your company and, last but not least, innovation is
concretely handled on the field as a strategic long term
initiative. Board and C-Level executives should clearly be
involved herewith.

Learning Orientation refers to organization-wide activity of
creating and using knowledge to enhance competitive
advantage. This includes obtaining and sharing information
about customer needs, market changes, and competitor
actions, as well as development of new technologies to create
new highly competitive products that are by essence superior
to those of competitors.
Your Learning Orientation influences what kind of information
is gathered and how it is interpreted, evaluated, and shared.
The 3 key components of learning orientation are 1/
Commitment to Learning 2/ Open-mindedness and 3/ Intra-
organizational Knowledge Sharing.
