Gain recognition for unique business model, value proposition, and growth prospects.
Develop capabilities to drive significant growth through innovation.
Ensure sustained, long-term growth and impact in markets.
Certified Innovative Growth Venture is a unique accreditation reserved exclusively for rapid-growth-oriented small and medium-sized business ventures. Through a process of independent third-party assessment, the CInGV accreditation establishes that your firm has demonstrated what is required to attain rapid, high-impact growth through innovation, and is in fact on a path toward attaining that. This distinguishes it from all the other SME business ventures out there – as being one that is truly innovative and therefore capable of attaining rapid, high-impact growth, and consequently a valuable investment opportunity for Investors.
CInGV accreditation is awarded at three distinct levels, corresponding to the venture’s level of innovation-driven-growth readiness and performance. These three levels, from the lowest to the highest level, are:
Emerging.
Accomplished.
World-Class.
Become Recognized For Your Unique Business Model, Value Proposition, & Growth Prospects
Your organization will become recognized for its unique business model, value proposition, and consequent growth prospects. By demonstrating that it constantly strives to attain market awareness and customer empathy so that it can deliver world-leading, next-level value through these mechanisms, it shows that it is in tune with where these markets and customers are heading in the future, and is poised, therefore, to deliver increasing value in a way that will scale the business.
Grow Your Organization’s Ability to Drive Growth Through Innovation
Your organization will become increasingly aware and knowledgeable of what is required to drive significant growth in an SME business venture through innovation. In doing this, it will over time develop growing capabilities for being able to actually deliver innovation-driven growth, And as it exercises those capabilities, it will in fact succeed at attaining the level of growth and positive impact it aspires to.
Ensure Your Business Is On The Right Path To Achieving Sustained, Long-Term Growth & Impact
Your organization will develop the mindsets and practices it needs to ensure it stays on the right path to attaining sustained, long-term growth and impact in its markets – as well as in the new markets it helps to birth. This will give everyone involved the assurance that the venture has what it takes to ‘stay hungry’ and lead from a customer-first point of view, constantly experimenting with novel value and validating new options against real-world market needs.
Show The World Your Commitment to Delivering Innovation, Growth, and A Positive Impact
Your organization will wear its accreditation proudly as a symbol of its commitment to delivering novel innovation and growth and – most importantly – to having a profound positive impact on not only its markets, but on the world as a whole. It can leverage this to demonstrate to everyone involved – whether they be customers, partners, or investors – that it is in fact committed to driving positive long-term impact and a return on the investments being made.
To obtain CInGV accreditation, your organization must retain and work through either a GInI Authorized Training & Assessment Provider (ATAP) or a GInI Authorized University Provider (AUP). This Provider will in turn secure one or more GInI Authorized Assessors (either an Authorized Growth Venture Assessor, AGVA or an Authorized Innovation Assessor, AInA) who will execute the CInGV on-site assessment and review process with your organization, and thereafter submit their final Assessment Report to GInI.
Following this, GInI will make the final determination of your organization’s passing of the assessment, and if passing, the level of accreditation it is to be awarded. After that, GInI will notify your organization and its Authorized Provider of this determination, and will provide your organization with a copy of the Assessor’s final report (the CInGVAR).
To maintain its CInGV accreditation, your organization must pass a full reassessment with a GInI ATAP or AUP every two years (biennially).
