Strategic Blueprint
The Strategic Blueprint is innovation strategy consulting that turns your Innovation Readiness Assessment results into a roadmap your leaders agree on: where to focus, who is responsible and which steps come first.
Built from your assessment results
26 questions in six areas
An action plan with priorities and timeframes
1
Your answers in six areas
2
Your action plan by timeframe
An innovation strategy roadmap sets out where an organization will focus its innovation effort, who is responsible for it, how ideas move from proposal to result, and which steps come first, each with a priority and a timeframe.
The Strategic Blueprint builds that roadmap from your Innovation Readiness Assessment results and your staff’s comments, so it starts from evidence about your organization rather than a blank page.

After the assessment
Most organizations stop at insight. Teams leave the assessment with scores, reports and identified gaps, but without a shared view of what to do first.
Where are we today?
What happens next?
What is holding execution back?
What should we focus on?
What matters most?
How do we move forward?
Organizations that move forward agree on direction early and act on it.
Three steps take your organization from assessment results to an action plan your leaders have agreed.
Your evidence
The Blueprint reads your latest Innovation Readiness Assessment: scores by area, the change since your previous assessment and the action items from the heat map. It also draws on staff comments, grouped by area, and on where departments and roles scored differently.
Scores and the change since your last assessment
Every top action item from the assessment carried into the plan
Staff comments and department differences, grouped by area
Your team decides
AI drafts answers to 26 questions in six areas from your assessment results and staff comments. Your administrators review and edit every answer, with the reasoning beside each question, and sign off the final version. Client content is never used to train AI models.

Your plan
The Blueprint ends in an action plan of 6 to 10 steps. Each step has a priority, a timeframe and the score, comment or answer it came from, and the plan covers every top action item from your assessment.
Four timeframes: now, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 months or more
A high, medium or low priority for each step
Each step linked to the area it serves
The 26 questions are grouped in six areas. Together they form the innovation strategy framework your organization works from.
Your revenue streams, your definition of innovation, its principles, your vision, and what you will and will not explore.
How innovation is structured, who is responsible for what (RACI), which innovation models you use, how an idea moves to implementation and how you measure innovation.
How ideas are collected, categorized, prioritized and tracked.
How innovation fits your operations, how you manage growth and which implementation risks to plan for.
The problem-solving and innovation methods you use, the business considerations for each idea and the idea test card.
The skills your people have today, the skills innovation will need and what to train.
The signed-off Blueprint becomes a report for leadership and board discussions, and stays in KWOKKA for your team.
What you receive
The report sets out your innovation strategy, who is responsible for what, how ideas move from proposal to result, the measures you will track and the action plan. It prints as a PDF, and the strategy also downloads as a Word document your team can edit.

Innovation strategy is often a workshop, a report or a consulting engagement that ends in insight without follow-through. The Strategic Blueprint is built to be carried out.
The roadmap starts from your Innovation Readiness Assessment results and staff comments, not from opinion or a generic framework.
26 questions in six areas lead to defined decisions rather than open-ended discussion.
Every step in the action plan has a priority, a timeframe and the evidence behind it.
The signed-off Blueprint informs how ideas are evaluated in Idea Management, and the Skills area sets out what to train, with training and certification for your teams. The Strategic Foresight add-on adds a horizon scan and three scenarios about five years ahead.
An innovation strategy roadmap sets out where an organization focuses its innovation effort, who is responsible for it, how ideas move from proposal to result and which steps come first. The Strategic Blueprint builds one from your Innovation Readiness Assessment results, with a priority and a timeframe for every step.
An innovation strategy states what innovation should achieve for the organization and the principles behind it. The roadmap turns that strategy into ordered steps, each with a priority and a timeframe. The Strategic Blueprint produces both.
Start from evidence of where the organization stands today. The Strategic Blueprint begins with your Innovation Readiness Assessment results: AI drafts answers to 26 questions in six areas, your leadership team reviews them in a working session facilitated by UBT, and the signed-off version includes an action plan of 6 to 10 steps, each with a priority and a timeframe.
No. The Strategic Blueprint is built from your assessment results, so we start with the Innovation Readiness Assessment. If your organization has recent results, we start from those. For a first look at where you stand, the free Innovation Snapshot takes about five minutes.
Your leadership team takes part in a working session facilitated by UBT. In KWOKKA, your administrators and the UBT team edit the answers, and the final version is signed off. We agree the timing and format with you when we plan the session.
Yes, for the first draft. AI drafts the answers to the 26 questions from your assessment results and staff comments, using the AI provider set up for your organization. Your team reviews, edits and signs off every answer. Client content is never used to train AI models.
A signed-off Blueprint in KWOKKA and a report for your leaders, printed as a PDF, with the strategy also as a Word document. They set out your strategy in six areas, who is responsible for what, the measures you will track and an action plan of 6 to 10 steps.
Now, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 months or more. Each step also has a high, medium or low priority and names the score, comment or answer it came from.
Once signed off, the Blueprint becomes part of how ideas are evaluated in KWOKKA idea management, so each idea is judged against your agreed strategy.
KWOKKA data is stored and processed in Canada, and each organization’s data is kept separate at the database level. Sign-in runs on Google’s identity service. Our IT and Security Brief gives your IT team the details.
