The organization should identify and supply the financial resources needed to implement the innovation management system effectively. It should consider the financial opportunities, risks and constraints that innovation activities bring, including what it would mean not to innovate; funding principles such as central funding compared with local or operational budgets; dedicated funding, for example a set share of the yearly budget or money that top management earmarks for initiatives; relevant outside funding, such as public and private investors, partners, co-sponsors, research agencies, grants, R&D tax credits or crowdsourcing; investment principles, for example internal compared with external activity, start-ups, accelerators or corporate venture capital; how funding is balanced across time horizons, risk levels and kinds of innovation; funding for the other resources and support, such as people, time, competence and infrastructure; and making sure the way funding is organized reaches every activity that needs it.
