I-Puls

I-Puls: Measurement and Development of Innovation Capability

The goal of this project was to develop a method to measure and to improve innovation capability of Swiss Small and Medium Sized Companies. The method has been developed and applied with several project partners (Alcan, Mammut, Furrer-Jacot, Marquardt etc.). The method is supported by a Web Application (www.ipi.ethz.ch) and so allows the documentation of the whole process.

The CTI-funded project I-Puls was finished in 2007. We continue applying and improving the I-Puls tool.

If you want to use the I-Puls tool to improve the innovative capability of your company you may:

• register for and use the Web Application (www.ipi.ethz.ch)

• or use the pdf/Excel-based version (send an e-mail to kobe@ethz.ch for a free copy)
