Navigating the Next Cycle's stages, step by step

Read the Next Cycle bar on an Innovation Opportunity to see its current stage and step and all the steps in each stage.

The Next Cycle bar on each opportunity page shows all five stages and their steps, so you can see where the opportunity is and what comes next.

Steps

Open the opportunity. In the Leader sidebar, click Innovation Opportunities and click its name.
Find the Next Cycle bar under the opportunity header. It lists the stages in order: Formulate, Incubate, Accelerate, Operate and Grow.
Read each stage's status:
- Stages before the current one show Done.
- The current stage is highlighted and shows the name of the current step.
- Later stages show only their name.
Hover over the small segments under a stage to see the name of each step. The highlighted segment is the current step.
To see a diagram of the full cycle, open the three-dots menu, choose Full report and click View full cycle.
