Our Company
The Evidence Network measures the performance of innovation
enablers. For innovation enablers seeking investment or funding, we
provide evidence of impact. For funding agents, our results
provide assessments of innovation enabler performance for
comparisons with others or over time. For boards of directors,
management, and employees we provide appraisals of the relative
strengths of different services that support service improvement
interventions.
Who we are
The Evidence Network is a privately held Canadian company
serving clients globally. Our leadership team has over fifty years
of experience in all aspects of innovation, across all innovation
enabler types. We understand the challenges associated with
measuring the performance of innovation enablers and have developed
a novel methodology to address them.
Motivation and vision
The Evidence Network is founded on the premise that there has
been no consistent, recognized set of performance measures for
innovation enablers. This is in sharp contrast to other
organizations such as firms and universities that use common
measures for performance assessment worldwide. Regardless of their
size or industry, firms measure their performance in terms of
profits, revenues, market share and so on. Similarly, regardless of
discipline, the performance of university researchers is measured
in terms of publications, citations, patents, etc.
The Evidence Network provides a systematic, standardized
approach for innovation enabler performance measurement. With this
common measurement system, we believe the important and essential
role of innovation enablers will be more fully recognized so that
they may contribute even more effectively to global innovation
initiatives.
Our vision is to serve the global innovation enabler community
by becoming the trusted supplier of innovation enabler performance
measurement services.
