Developing a concept further following its selection by an Evaluation Group often involves the creation of a preliminary business plan/business case for the concept. Select one correct answer from the list:
Correct Answer: C
GInI'sCInP Handbookexplains that post-selection in InMS Stage 3, concepts move to Stage 4, where development includes creating a "preliminary business plan/business case." This document outlines the concept's value proposition, market potential, and initial financials-enough to justify further investment without full detail. It's a Mid Zone activity, bridging evaluation to execution. "New hypotheses" (A) is Front End, pre-selection. "Detailed design" (B) is Back End, post-business case. "Fully-detailed forecast" (D) is overly precise for this stage-GInI seeks preliminary viability, not 95% confidence yet. Option C aligns with GInI's process, matching the original answer (despite typo), reflecting a pragmatic step to validate concepts strategically-a GInI method for staged commitment.
Question 42
As an Innovation Professional contributing to a program of sustained innovation output in your business, you are constantly feeding what? Select one correct answer from the list
Correct Answer: A
Question 43
Throughout Stage 5 of the GInI InMS, the organization will have many opportunities for feedback loops (just as in Stage 4), where their learnings help them to either reinforce, redirect, or kill each project. Select one correct answer from the list:
Correct Answer: A
GInI'sCInI Handbookmirrors Stage 4's feedback loops in Stage 5, where pilots and early launches provide data to "reinforce" (bolster strengths), "redirect" (adjust course), or "kill" (halt unviable efforts). This iterative refinement ensures the Back End delivers value, consistent with GInI's adaptive execution model. "Reimagine, renew, accelerate" (B) is forward-looking, not evaluative. "Remove, restore, monitor" (C) is passive. "Reinstate, refocus, ignore" (D) lacks termination clarity. Option A aligns with GInI's terminology, matching the original answer, reflecting a disciplined, responsive approach to scaling innovation-a GInI strength in managing late-stage risks.
Question 44
"One of the Program Leader's jobs in relation to Engagement is to monitor the results from each engagement mechanism and ensure that the innovation program is realizing the outcomes it needs from each mechanism, adjusting as needed by either ______ or ______." Select one correct answer from the list:
Correct Answer: A
Question 45
For projects in the Mid Zone that pass the final decision gate, they will pass from the Mid Zone to the Back End, where they will enter into a completely different set of activities. Select one correct answer from the list:
Correct Answer: C
GInI'sCInP Handbookdescribes the Mid Zone as culminating in a "final decision gate"-the go/no-go point where a project's business case is evaluated. Passing this gate transitions the project from Mid Zone (validation, business casing) to Back End (development, commercialization), shifting from planning to execution activities (e.g., production, launch). Option A, "Gantt Chart," is a tool, not a condition. Option B, "post-mortem," occurs after failure or completion, not transition. Option D, "detailed project plan," might support the gate but isn't the passing criterion. Option C directly states the condition-passing the gate- matching GInI's phased model and the original answer (though D was incorrectly listed; context suggests C intent). This gate is a pivotal risk filter, ensuring only validated projects consume Back End resources, a cornerstone of GInI's disciplined innovation management.
