In an ideal world, institutions will have a strategy and plan for aligning innovation projects with goals, drivers and needs and some will even adopt a cyclic approach to innovation e.g. a continuous improvement approach where the approach includes evaluation within the context of overall goals, reflection and reviewing and even benchmarking (all akin to action research) and then re-planning according to the evaluation and reflection. In such cases, institutions would have defined roles and responsibilities for transferring ownership of specific innovations.
