Develop Effective Evaluation Criteria / Guiding Principles

First and foremost, you must develop effective idea evaluation criteria. Brainstorm a broad list of criteria by which you wish to evaluate innovative ideas or any proposed new course of action for your business. Your corporate vision, competitive strategies and guiding principles will help you streamline this brainstorming session. Having generated a lot of criteria, select 20 most important ones. Then narrow this list down to 5 or 10 by combining sister criteria or deleting weaker ones.

Weights and Idea Table

By assigning a weight to each criterion, a merit table for each idea can be constructed, evaluating each idea against each criterion, and multiplying weights by scores. Ideas are thus prioritized according to the merit table obtained.

Define the Evaluation Process

Having finalized the list of criteria, weight them according to their importance to your business. To evaluate an idea, rate how well it meets each criterion. The highest rating of 10 would indicate the idea perfectly meets that criterion. A rating of 0 would indicate the idea does not meet that criterion in any way whatsoever.

The following formula is used to calculate the total idea rating:

Sum of weighted ratings / Highest possible total score × 100%

Generally, scores of 80% or higher indicate the idea is very valuable and worth taking further.
