The objective of the ISO 56002 standard is to provide a framework on how to build an innovation ecosystem that can be sustained over time. Similar to the quality management system that ISO established decades ago, this standard provides instructions related to best practices on how to establish an Innovative Management System within an organization. However, it does not provide guidance on how to implement and/or use the standard. The ISO Standard 56004 Innovation Management Assessment was designed to define the maturity level of an organization's Innovation Management System. The primary purpose of most Innovative Management Systems is to process a continuous flow of new and highly creative outputs that will meet external customers' needs and expectations. The users of ISO 56002 and 56004 know that they are "what to do" documents. This book, however, shows you how to do it! Both ISO Standard 56002 and 56004 are focused on improving the organization's innovative management system. This book focuses on how to train employees on how to use the system to add value to the organization's stakeholders. There are no books out on the subject - this book greatly assists managers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and consultants seeking help in using the innovation management system effectively and efficiently. Essentially, this book presents an effective marriage between the innovative management system and how it will operate when it becomes part of the operating procedures.
