○ Recombination Instances : How many successful re- combinations has your organization created in the past year? The past three years? ○ Recombination Impact : What percentage of revenue or value creation comes from novel recombinations versus existing offerings?
Track these metrics over time to measure your progress in building combinatorial capability.
2. Context Enablement Index Measure how effectively your or- ganizational context enables recombination through structured assessment of: ○ Boundary Permeability : How easily do ideas and capa- bilities flow across departmental, functional, and hierar- chical boundaries? (Score 1-10) ○ Experimentation Support : How effectively does your organization support testing new combinations with minimal bureaucracy? (Score 1-10) ○ Recognition Systems : How well do your recognition and reward systems acknowledge successful recombina- tion? (Score 1-10) ○ Failure Tolerance : How effectively does your organiza- tion learn from unsuccessful recombinations? (Score 1-10) ○ Information Transparency : How accessible is informa- tion about organizational capabilities and assets to those who might recombine them? (Score 1-10)
Calculate your Context Enablement Index as the average of these five scores, aiming for continuous improvement over time.
