Innovation Management System
Innovation is just a way to describe a category of methods/models/systems to realizing value. So one part is to able to describe the value you want to achieve, than how to get there and how to measure and experiment your way through progress. Innovation Management is about to manage this across the entire organization. An Innovation Management System, like ISO-56002 is formulating, is a way to systematically achieve innovation across your organization.
But it all starts with the Context and the mindset of trying to understand the context and where we are at and what is possible today and try to foresight to see what will be possible in 5-10 years. An transformation of human systems take time and the organization needs to work with the readiness of the organization to match the readiness of user adoption and technology enablement. So, there must be a long term vision of what the transformation will achieve and a short term to build the capacities needed to achieve the long term vision but also to remain successful in the near future.
