The purpose of the paper is to develop and use a toolkit for assessing the level of obstacles that stand in the way of innovative development of enterprises. Achieving the set goal requires solving the following main research tasks: clarifying the essence of the innovative development of companies, identifying its features and types; grouping of types and development of indicators for evaluating obstacles that stand in the way of innovative development of enterprises; use of the developed toolkit in assessing obstacles that arise when implementing innovative energy-saving technologies at enterprises. Methodology of the study is based on general research methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, observation and abstraction, which are used to develop and test the toolkit for assessing obstacles that stand in the way of innovative development of business entities. The results of the conducted research showed, in particular, that there are a significant number of obstacles that stand in the way of innovative development of enterprises. The specified obstacles can be divided into groups according to the following characteristics: the stage of implementation of innovative projects; the reason for the occurrence of obstacles; the place occupied by a certain barrier in the hierarchy of obstacles, etc. The analysis carried out based on the data of 165 Ukrainian enterprises – consumers of natural gas showed that among the obstacles on the way to the implementation of innovative technological changes aimed at saving natural gas, the high level of obstacles is due to the lack of necessary competencies among the company's personnel.
