Treehouse has partnered with Prof Jeanne Liedtka and her co-authors Karen Hold and Jessica Eldridge to develop a suite of assessment instruments that help individuals, teams and entire organizations measure, and amplify the impact they make with innovation.
Innovation Impact: Skills
(Self & Peer Assessment)
For individuals and teams wanting to identify their own current strengths and development areas and become more impactful innovators.
Used for:
- Personal and team development
- Before / After Innovation Training
- Team formation and staffing
- Conferences / team off-sites
Innovation Impact: ROI
(Organizational Outcomes Audit)
For organizations that have invested in building innovation and design capability, and now want to assess the outcomes being realized.

- Making data-backed decisions about where to focus further innovation investment
The Innovation Impact suite of assessments are based on over a decade of research conducted by Professor Jeanne Liedtka and her team at the University of Virginia, Darden School of business.
Their research was conducted with 1000s of professionals - engineers, marketers, accountants, scientists and all kinds of managers and executives from across sectors - to understand what it really takes to enable people from all walks of life to innovate, no matter what their field.
