What is the Innovation Pathways Maturity Model?
The Innovation Pathways Maturity Model (IPMM) builds upon the original Innovation Pathways model and creates different levels of maturity around four key areas of organizational management that are critical to innovation success.

The purpose of the IPMM is to assist healthcare organizations in improving their ability to innovate through the assessment and refinement of four key areas of innovation. We hope the IPMM enables you and your organization understand the many components of a successful internal innovation program and provide steps to improve your new or established innovation program.
Who is the IPMM geared towards?
