How is RoME™ different than ROI?

Measuring success of federal innovation and technology investments is different in kind from a traditional understanding of return on investment. It requires a holistic picture of effectiveness at multiple layers of organizational efforts, where returns are often not measured in dollars. Using massive amounts of data integrated with the VISION Joint Innovation System, the Return on Mission Effectiveness™ (RoME™) module provides a service that would otherwise be impossible: a clear, adaptable picture of where and how innovation investments are succeeding and aligned with strategic priorities.
