- 09.03.2012Working Group: KPIs on IP Management
Join the IP Benchmarking Database Project of the EIRMA Special Interest Group on IP ManagementThe working group has established a project with the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) to compare firms internal metrics with industry-level key performance indicators (KPIs).If you are interested in joining this IP Management Project, please contact the project manager before 15 March 2012.
The Project
One challenge facing every innovative company is that of finding a way to gauge the performance levels of its internal innovation practices and processes.For this reason, EIRMA, the EPFL, and the Innovation Strategy Center have joined in an effort to establish the EIRMA Innovation Practices Benchmarking Database Project.The project goal is to provide participating EIRMA members with an additional tool with which to optimize their innovation practices to reflect the relative efficiency of performance.This project promises a highly secure and confidential method whereby data from various stages of the innovation process can be gathered such that participating firms can compare their internal metrics with industry-level key performance indicators (KPIs).Benefits
The potential benefits of the Innovation Practices Benchmarking Database are both strong and unique:- the only database project that provides KPIs based upon confidential internal data
- establish industry-level KPIs
- metrics can be established for various stage-gate activities or markers without revealing methods
- benchmark own practices to those of the industry standard without falling into the trap of comparing to a single actor
Expected Contribution
- Each company will contribute to the database with their own KPIs and performance measures
- The participating firms will meet three times per year
- Financial contribution to the project (see project manager)
How to Join the Project?

Dr. Beat MOLLET, IP Manager at Nestlé Research Center
