[0045] <Processing flow> A process flow of a method for performing organizational diagnosis regarding innovation creation, which is executed by the system 1 of this embodiment, will be described with reference to Fig. 11. This is an example of a flowchart related to the diagnosis method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] Here, to use this system 1, the user accesses the server terminal 100 using the web browser or application of each of the user terminals 200, and when using the service for the first time, the user inputs the above-mentioned user basic information, etc., and when the user and the user account have already been acquired, the user logs in after undergoing a predetermined authentication such as inputting an ID and password, and the service becomes available. After this authentication, a predetermined user interface is provided via a website, application, etc., and the process proceeds to step S101 shown in FIG.

[0047] First, in the process of step S101, the server terminal 100 transmits question data to the user terminal 200 via the communication unit 110. For example, the server terminal 100 refers to the diagnostic data storage unit 122 of the memory unit 120, transmits the question data to the user terminal 200, and each of the questions listed above is displayed as question data in a user interface provided via a web browser or an application of the user terminal 200.

[0048] Next, in the process of step S102, the server terminal 100 receives answer data to the above questions from the user terminal 200. For example, the user selects or inputs one of five levels of answers to each question displayed on the user terminal 200, namely, "Doesn't apply", "Doesn't really apply", "Can't say either way", "Applies somewhat", and "Applies", and the answer to each question is transmitted to the server terminal 100 as answer data. Here, the server terminal 100 can receive answer data from multiple employees belonging to a specific company. At this time, the server terminal 100 also receives information such as the employee ID of the employee who answered, the user ID of the company to which the employee belongs, and the date and time of the answer together with the answer data. The user data management unit 132 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 stores the received answer data of each employee in the diagnosis data storage unit 122 of the storage unit 120 as answer data together with information such as the employee ID of the employee who answered, the user ID of the company to which the employee belongs, and the date and time of the answer.

[0049] Next, in the process of step S103, the server terminal 100 performs an analysis process based on the answer data received from the user terminal 200. For example, the data analysis unit 133 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 assigns a score (for example, 1 to 5 points corresponding to the above-mentioned 5 levels) to the answer result (one of the 5 levels of "does not apply", "does not really apply", "cannot say either way", "rather applies", and "applies") for each question based on the answer data of each employee stored in the diagnostic data storage unit 122. The data analysis unit 133 then calculates the point average of multiple employees for each question, and stores the point average as statistical data in the diagnostic data storage unit 122 by linking each question. Here, when calculating the point average, the data analysis unit 133 can weight the assigned points for a certain question that is considered important among multiple questions associated with medium items, which will be described later, and add points to the points before calculating the average.

[0050] Next, the data analysis unit 133 refers to the association data stored in the diagnostic data storage unit 122, and associates the stored point average for each question with the medium item corresponding to the question based on the correspondence between the question and the medium item, and also calculates the point average for each large item based on the point average for each medium item based on the correspondence between the medium item and the large item, associates the calculated point average with the large item, and stores them in the diagnostic data storage unit 122 as statistical data.

[0051] Next, in the process of step S104, the server terminal 100 generates analysis data based on the analysis process and transmits it to the user terminal 200. For example, the data analysis unit 133 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 generates analysis data based on the statistical data stored in the diagnostic data storage unit 122. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the analysis data can be displayed by associating the average points based on the user's answer data with each of the major and medium items. In FIG. 13, the major item "consistency with the company-wide strategy / clarification of open innovation" is associated with the medium items "company-wide strategy is clearly indicated," "company-wide strategy and new business strategy are linked," "there is a message from the top, and the importance of innovation has permeated the company," "closed innovation area and open innovation area are clearly separated," and "innovation management is promoted." The average points for each medium item and the average points for each major item are associated and displayed. In addition, if the questions are asked multiple times at different times, the difference from the previous points can be calculated and displayed.

[0052] As shown in Figure 12, the analysis data can be displayed as a spider chart with the average points for each of the major categories: "Alignment with company-wide strategy / clarification of open innovation," "Clarification of direction," "Organization of organizational processes," "Clarification of commercialization / collaboration judgment criteria," and "Appropriate communication and sourcing." In addition, the average points for each major category can be displayed as a numerical value, and qualitative comments based on the analysis results can be added and displayed. In this way, by visualizing the organizational diagnosis results, users can clearly understand whether their organization has the right environment for creating and promoting open innovation.

[0053] As described above, by defining major and medium items that serve as evaluation criteria for whether a corporate organization has the infrastructure to create and promote open innovation, and then quantifying and evaluating them based on the answers to questions from corporate users, corporate users can clearly understand whether their own companies have the infrastructure to create and promote open innovation, and can formulate corporate strategies and measures related to open innovation and raise awareness.

[0054] Although the disclosed embodiments have been described above, they can be implemented in various other forms and can be implemented with various omissions, substitutions, and modifications. These embodiments and modifications, as well as omissions, substitutions, and modifications, are included in the technical scope of the claims and their equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
