“…Here, the concept of maturity is taken into consideration as a measure to quantify the organizational capabilities (Maier, Moultrie, & Clarkson, 2012). This concept is helpful for determining standard practices or processes, and their classification by degree of expertise (Claire, Galvez, Boly, Camargo, & Moselle, 2014). One way to do this is by looking at what people are doing operationally and analysing behaviours, attitudes and competences (Maier et al, 2012).…”

There is a strong emergence of new spaces to foster innovation all over the world (Fablabs, Living Labs and Design Factories, among others). Past experiences have shown these types of projects involving “innovation laboratories” are at risk of not succeeding in their goals. Although several studies have tackled the problem of design, development and sustainability of innovation laboratories, there is still a gap in understanding how the capabilities and performance of these environments are affected by the strategic intentions at the early stages of design and functioning. Throughout this work, eight frameworks from the literature that analyze innovation laboratories are identified and compared. Then, based on both literature and the authors' experience, an updated framework is proposed as the basis for a guidance tool for researchers and practitioners aiming to assess or to adapt an existing project. As part of the operationalization process of the framework, a maturity grid‐based assessment tool is proposed to evaluate the maturity degree of an innovation laboratory. Afterwards, to evaluate the viability and to integrate the perception of innovation laboratory managers, an exploratory study with answers from fifteen laboratories from five different countries is performed. Insights and implications for emerging and already existent projects of innovation laboratories are then discussed.

“…In the specific context of the innovative projects, Claire et al (2014) highlight that the uncertainty, the learning process and the lack of information about the innovative projects are some characteristics strengthening the project management complexity. This is why the innovative project management requires a flexible approach integrating compromises on the project characteristics.…”

“…An innovative project should be integrated into the global strategy of the firm and into its global organization. Indeed, the success of an innovative project depends on the quality of its operational management but also on the capability of the organization to integrate the novelty induced by innovation (Boly et al 2015;Claire et al 2014). These researches put forward five management dimensions for the innovation project management defined as follows (Figure 1):…”

“…This evaluation allows the project classification according to its complexity and its implementation difficulty. On a second stage, the practices composing the technological system of the company are identified by grouping them into five dimensions: work team, project process, financial structure, organization resources and market (Boly et al 2014;Claire et al 2014). Then, in a third stage, for each dimension, a maturity grid is proposed to evaluate each practice in order to determine the level of development of the company technological system.…”

Innovation projects represent a major challenge for business managers due to their associated uncertainty degree. The already existing methodologies to support the innovation projects are aimed at piloting them and establishing the management stages in a flexible and agile way during their deployment. This paper proposes a complementary ex-ante methodology that seeks to aid the decision-making of companies to choose whether or not to launch a potential innovation project. This methodology evaluates to what extent the technological system of the company has the minimum required maturity degree of competencies to successfully achieve the innovation project. Thus, in first instance, an innovation project is characterized according to its novelty degree; both inside the company and in its environment. Subsequently, according to the previous characterization, the future project will have an impact on the technological system of the company. The capabilities of the firm are represented by a set of good practices associated with the innovation projects' management that the company is able to deploy. Finally, the minimum maturity degree required by a particular project of these practices is determined. Then, the gap between the maturity requirement profile and the current profile of the company is established enabling to decide on the implementation of the project or not.
