The Rare: Innovation Index is a research partnership between Rare: and the Digital Innovation Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University seeking to understand current practices and discover the barriers to creating a culture of innovation amongst UK businesses.

The research takes opinions from full-time workers in the UK business sector, across many levels of seniority and many geographical locations, to get a rounded view of life within an organisation. Fielded by us to the Peanut Labs research panel in July, we surveyed 340 individuals aged between 21-60. A breakdown of the demographic data can be found in the appendix at the end of this report.
