How can organizations measure the success of their innovation efforts when balancing autonomy and alignment among employees?

Organizations can measure the success of their innovation efforts by setting clear goals and key performance indicators related to innovation. They can track metrics such as the number of new ideas generated, speed of implementation, and impact on the bottom line.
