The US Department of Energy announced last week that culture improves R&D lab performance by as much as 20-30 percent.
InnovationOne, LLC is delighted to have participated in this joint project with the DOE’s Ethos Project team to demonstrate the high correlation 
between culture and R&D lab performance. The results are outstanding: a one-point difference in a lab’s innovation culture score as measured on a 100-point scale corresponded with a 20-30 percent increase in performance of key R&D outcomes. Indeed, culture improves R&D lab performance.
The InnovationOne Culture Index© was used to measure the cultures of six different US Department of Energy Labs in the Ethos Project Study.
These results closely match our breakthrough research with the private sector. Companies that score in the upper quartile of the InnovationOne Culture Index© have an average of 22 percent higher financial outcomes than those in the lower quartile. Whether in the public or private sector, cultures of innovation lead to higher performance and financial results.
Our compliments and sincere appreciation to Jason Stolworthy and James Keating, MBA M.Eng CLP at the U.S. Department of Energy at Idaho National Labs, and Laszlo Gyorffy MS of IdeaScale.
