The certification and course structure of the guidance standard for innovation management system (ISO 56002) covers seven key high-level elements. These elements are the same for all management system standards. By adopting a common format, organizations can benefit from the integration of different management systems for more effective and efficient operations across functional areas. In comparison, quality management standards have resulted in fewer product defects, more loyal customers, increased regulatory compliance, precision and accuracy in laboratory testing, safety in construction, etc.

Innovation Management Systems (IMS) differ significantly from Quality Management Systems, though, since they focus on exploitation as well as exploration rather than only continuous improvement. The IMS processes, implemented in your organization will provide the means to optimize the value that you receive with the correct amount of resources, limited risk and with an ongoing measurement and evaluation of results.

This course will provide you with the foundations necessary to become that Innovation leader. You will learn to take a systematic approach to innovation. You will be exposed to variety of innovation types and approaches that are essential to develop a solid innovation strategy.  The training presents the ISO 56002:2019 Innovation Management System – Guidance standard as a guiding tool to design, implement, maintain and continuously improve an organization’s innovation management system.

What you’ll learn: knowledge to improve the performance and effectiveness of any innovation project, the principles forming the foundation of a sustainable innovation management system (IMS), and the actions that can be taken to implement and deploy them throughout an organization.
