Innovation Maturity Model
GOLRANG INDUSTRIAL GROUP
A Narrative for a Deep Understanding of the Roots of Organizational Innovation
In today’s business world, “innovation” has turned into a common but ambiguous buzzword. Everyone talks about it, but how can it be transformed from just a slogan into a sustainable, repeatable competitive advantage? How can we know where we stand on this journey, where we are going, and most importantly, what factors are truly effective within the Golrang innovation ecosystem?
At Golrang Industrial Group, we have forged a new path to overcome clichés and gain a deep understanding of what truly drives innovation. The Golrang Innovation Evolution Model is not just another survey; it is the result of in-depth research, created to establish a common language and a tailored tool for Iran’s largest private-sector industrial group.
Goals
The “why” behind implementing the Innovation Evolution Model is rooted in the inherent complexity and diversity of Golrang Industrial Group. Innovation is not just the product of individual brilliance or technology; it is an institutional and social phenomenon that forms in the context of interactions, structures, and a network of players with varied interests and values. Therefore, global innovation models broaden our horizons, but they cannot give direct answers to our vital questions:
From Description to Exploration and Inference
Which Golrang Group companies are truly more innovative? Why? Is there a significant difference between them? Where does this difference stem from?
Analysis of Environmental-Contextual Factors
What cultural, structural, and social components within each business area influence the innovation capacity of the companies?
Objective Indicators
How should we measure innovation within the specific context of Golrang Industrial Group so that our criteria are objective, realistic, and insightful?
Identifying Unintended Consequences
Can we identify the unintended consequences of technological and innovative programs at the organizational and societal levels before it is too late?
The “Golrang Innovation Evolution Model” is designed to answer such questions. This model allows us to explore the deeper layers of the current situation with a sociological perspective and to build a model rooted in our own realities through a slow and steady process.
Design Based on Global Innovation Models
Certainly, the design of this model did not occur in a vacuum. With a research-based and problem-oriented approach, we have systematically reviewed the most credible international frameworks and global lessons learned, relying on this empirical literature of innovation:
Innovation Maturity Models
Inspired by tested international innovation maturity models, such as CMMI, we assess the innovation capacities of companies across various dimensions.
Innovation Measurement and Assessment Frameworks
We utilize OECD standards and other frameworks for defining and measuring innovation indicators to ensure our language is aligned with global criteria.
Models of Global Innovation Surveying Organizations
We have studied and analyzed the approaches of prominent players like BCG, Gartner, and Arthur D. Little to extract the best models from the best practices.
Innovation as a Driving Force for Entry into the Fortune 500 List
Entry into the list of the world’s top 500 companies is not merely a revenue goal; it is a symbol of achieving a world-class standard of thinking, execution, and sustainability. Reaching this position requires strategic discipline in resource allocation, the scalability of innovation processes, and the institutionalization of a deep organizational learning culture. The “Golrang Innovation Evolution Model” is designed to strengthen precisely these three drivers. This model helps us to:
Let us tell our innovation story with greater transparency.
In international exhibitions and partnerships, we present a reliable image of our innovative capabilities, backed by transparent data and a standardized framework.
Let us optimize the internal efficiency of companies
By accurately identifying bottlenecks and opportunities, let us focus the company's investments on the most effective projects and prevent the waste of resources.
What is the output of this process for you?
This model is not merely a research project, but a tool for intelligent decision-making. Through continuous learning and development cycles, we strive to make the findings of the innovation evolution model tangible through various charts, tables, figures, and management dashboards.
This path progresses through short cycles of learning and action, and via simple pilots, to minimize the gap between diagnosis and execution, ensuring that improvements flow in a measurable and scalable manner throughout Golrang Industrial Group.
Golrang Ventures makes this path simple, credible, and actionable, ensuring that innovation within Golrang Industrial Group becomes a measurable, manageable, and scalable phenomenon. This assures our alignment with global standards and the realization of our global visions.
