Hey everybody :)
I am writing my masterthesis about the influence of climate of Innovation on the innovativeness of Ideas.
The study was conducted in a company and employees could post their ideas on an online-plattform. There were two "Idea-Boxes" to sort the ideas. 1. New Working Processes and 2. New Products and Services.
I have a scale to measure product innovativeness based on Schultz et al., 2013. "Measuring New Product Portfolio Innovativeness: How Differences in Scale Width and Evaluator Perspectives
Affect its Relationship with Performance"
But with this scale it is hard to measure the innovativeness of working procesess f.e. one idea is to establish an "Innovation Team" or another idea is the use a "Cloud-saving" System. So basically in this box is every idea, which can improve the processes of teams or the whole organization.
What I need is a scale to externally measure innovativeness of working processes. So experts have to rate the ideas.
I searched for this kind of scale, but did not find any.
Thanks in advance.

This paper might be useful for you!
Lee, L. T. S. (2008). The effects of team reflexivity and innovativeness on new product development performance. Industrial Management & Data Systems.
The evaluation literature is fairly limited and (as far as I know and understand your question) there is no scale for specifically measuring the creativity/innovativeness of working processes.
However, there is literature about the general innovativeness of creative products (e.g., ideas, processes, technologies etc.). Dean e. al. (2006) is a good place to start for that and maybe build your own scale.
Dean, D. L., Hender, J. M., Rodgers, T. L., & Santanen, E. L. (2006). Identifying Quality, Novel, and Creative Ideas: Constructs and Scales for Idea Evaluation. Journal of the Association for Information Systems, 7(10), 646–698.
You can also take a look at generative fit/ generative capacity as a point of measure.
Avital, M., & Te’eni, D. (2009). From Generative Fit to Generative Capacity: Exploring an Emerging Dimension of Information Systems Design and Task Performance. Information Systems Journal, 19(4), 345–367.
Just to blatantly advocate some of my own research, these papers could also prove important when studying evaluation in team processes, especially because you are working with an outset in GCSS.
Ulrich, F., Mengiste, S. A., & Müller, S. D. (2015). Informal Evaluation and Institutionalization of Neoteric Technology Ideas: The Case of Two Danish Organizations. Communications of the Association for Information Systems, 37(1), 949–974.

And best of luck. Hope you come up with something awesome.
We looked in an article at innovativeness of sustainable innovation opportunities, and developed measures that you can find in the attached article. you can also contact my former phd Lisa Ploum who is working in this area.
