ISO 56000 Innovation Management System
ISO, the world’s leading international standards organization, has recently introduced the ISO 56000 Innovation Management System, addressing the growing need for structured innovation processes across industries. This system is closely linked to concepts such as development, invention, R&D, product improvement, and technological innovation in both products and services.
Innovation is a critical area of focus for developers, academics, and businesses alike. The technical committee ISO/TC 279, formed to create, develop, and promote management standards in innovation, laid the foundation for ISO 56000. This standard, first introduced in 2018, aims to support organizations in:
- Creating and managing innovation processes
- Establishing standard innovation terminology
- Facilitating stakeholder collaboration
- Managing intellectual property and strategic intelligence
- Ensuring sustainability through innovation practices
ISO 56000: The International Innovation Management Standard
The ISO 56000 standard enables organizations to systematically manage innovation—whether by developing new products, adopting new methods, identifying new resources, or entering new markets. Innovation Management, at its core, is about integrating change and process management with business strategy to foster growth and competitiveness.
The ISO 56000 framework offers a structured approach to innovation, helping businesses create systems where managers, employees, and stakeholders collaborate effectively. With the support of ISO 56000, companies can better seize opportunities in both domestic and international markets.
