There's an old cliche that says you can't inspect quality into a product.  Similarly, can assessment instruments like CEAI assess or induce innovation into organizations?"

 Someone wrote in regards to the statement above: 

The cliche that "you can't inspect quality into a product" suggests that quality should be built into a product's design and production processes from the beginning. Similarly, when it comes to assessment instruments like the Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Index (CEAI) and their ability to assess or induce innovation within organizations, the same principle holds true. Assessments can provide valuable insights into an organization's current state of innovation, but they can't magically create innovation where the organizational culture and processes are not conducive to it. CEAI and similar tools can be useful diagnostic tools to identify areas for improvement, but true innovation often requires a deeper commitment to fostering a culture of creativity, risk-taking, and adaptability. To truly induce innovation, organizations must go beyond assessments and actively cultivate an environment that encourages and supports innovative thinking and actions.
