A new standard is born
An innovation management system provides a systemic approach to integrate innovation into all the layers of the organizations in order to seize and create opportunities for the development of new solutions, systems, products and services. The first International Standard for such systems has just been published.
ISO 56002, Innovation management — Innovation management system — Guidance, covers all aspects of innovation management, from how to generate those first sparks of an idea, right through to selling something new in the marketplace. It considers the context that an organization is working in, the culture, strategy, processes and impact. It crosses many types of activities including products and services, business models, organizational innovation and more, and is applicable to all types of organization, regardless of size or type.
