ISO 56002: A systematic framework for generating ideas and transforming them into value
ISO 56002:2019: Innovation ManagementSystem–Guidance is an international standard that provides a flexible and systematic framework to help organizations at all levels develop, implement, maintain and improve an effective innovation management system. The main objective is to integrate innovation into the culture of daily operations and ensure that ideas are transformed into sustainable added value (whether new products, services, processes, or business models).
This standard is based on three key pillars to enhance the ability to innovate:
- Leadership & Focus: Demonstrate leadership commitment to creating an environment and culture that supports innovation and sets the strategic direction.
- Systematic Process: Implementing clear and documented processes for capturing, developing, evaluating, and launching ideas.
- Risk & Opportunity Management: Managing the uncertainty associated with innovation to minimize risk and maximize the chances of success.
Development Experts’ methodology to qualify you for ISO 56002
We provide a clear and monitored workflow to ensure your successful implementation of an innovation management system, starting with establishing the culture and ending with continuous improvement:
- Innovation Maturity Assessment:
- We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your organization’s current innovation management capabilities (from idea generation to commercialization). We identify gaps in strategy, processes, and culture compared to ISO 56002 guidelines, to build a precise transformation plan.
- Capacity building and innovation team training:
- We launch an intensive training plan to qualify internal staff. We focus on equipping innovation leaders and employees with skills inDesign Thinking,Open Innovation,and how to build innovative business models.
- Documentation andInnovation FunnelDesign:
- We support your team in drafting and documenting all the key elements of the system. This includes creating an innovation policy, designing a systematic process flow for Ideation, concept testing, and Innovation Portfolio Management.
- OverseeingPilot Projects:
- To ensure operational readiness, we oversee the implementation phases of the first innovation cycles or pilot projects. We ensure that the standard’s risk and opportunity assessment tools are applied and guide the team in developing minimum viable products (MVPs).
- Preparing for sustainability and continuous improvement:
- We focus on integrating the new system into organizational governance. Our goal is to ensure that effective mechanisms are in place to review the performance of the innovation management system (e.g., through innovation KPIs) and foster a culture of learning and experimentation.
The end result:
Partnering with Development Experts ensures that you are not just getting theoretical guidance, but building an integrated innovation management system that enhances your organization’s ability to adapt to market challenges, increases its competitive advantage, and ensures a continuous flow of new solutions and value.
