The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at,
and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.
Programme Advancement Rate
Percentage of qualified intrapreneurial ideas that you lead which successfully advance from Stage 1 (Idea) to Stage 2 (Validation) funding.
Target · ≥15% of ideas advanced to Stage 2If you lead three programmes with a total of 20 viable ideas, we'd expect at least 3 of those to get the green light for initial validation funding.
Stage-Gate Completion Success
Number of intrapreneurial teams you mentor and guide to a successful 'Go' decision at a Stage 3 (MVP Build) gate review, leading to a funded prototype.
Target · Mentor at least 2 teams per year to Stage 3 'Go'You helped the 'Smart Logistics' team and the 'Sustainable Packaging' team get their MVPs funded this year, demonstrating their commercial viability.
Intrapreneurial Team Satisfaction (NPS)
Average Net Promoter Score (NPS) from the intrapreneurial teams you directly support, measuring their satisfaction with your coaching, guidance, and programme structure.
Target · Average NPS score of +50 or higherTeams consistently rate your support highly, often saying things like, 'Couldn't have done it without them!' or 'They really helped us cut through the red tape.'
Resource Allocation Efficiency
Accuracy of initial resource estimates (time, budget) for the programmes you lead, compared to actuals. We want realistic planning, not sandbagging.
Target · Within ±10% variance of initial estimates for Stage 1-2 projectsYou estimated a 3-month timeline and £20K budget for a validation project, and it completed in 3.1 months for £21K – that's a good result.
Strategic Recommendation Quality
Your ability to provide clear, data-backed recommendations to leadership on whether to 'pivot, persevere, or kill' intrapreneurial projects. This isn't just about presenting data, it's about making a strong case.
- Leadership consistently accepts your recommendations or asks for deeper dives based on your insights. You're seen as a trusted advisor, not just a reporter. Your recommendations are concise, well-reasoned, and consider both the data and the political landscape.
Navigating Corporate Antibodies
How effectively you identify and overcome internal resistance ('corporate antibodies') to new ideas, ensuring promising ventures don't die from organisational friction.
- You can point to specific instances where you successfully unblocked a project by getting a skeptical department on board, or by finding a creative workaround. Projects you lead don't get stuck in 'the frozen middle' for long. You're often the first person intrapreneurs come to when they hit an internal roadblock.
Mentorship & Coaching Impact
The tangible growth and increased autonomy of junior coordinators or intrapreneurial teams you mentor. It's about helping others shine.
- Mentees successfully take on more complex tasks, show improved decision-making, and give positive feedback about your guidance. They're asking better questions and solving problems more independently. You're seen as a go-to person for advice and support.
Programme Design & Optimisation
Your contribution to improving our overall innovation programme frameworks, processes, and tools, making them more effective and user-friendly.
- You've proposed and implemented specific improvements to our stage-gate process or idea management platform that have demonstrably streamlined workflows or improved data quality. Other coordinators adopt your best practices.
