Why a systematised approach to innovation is needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Across the world, individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organisations and governments are thinking about innovation and how it can be harnessed and systematised to achieve growth or create value in organisations, public administrations, and in innovation ecosystems. Despite the existence of many individual examples of successful innovations, there are far fewer examples of organisations consistently and systemically innovating over the long term. A systematic approach to innovation in organisations involves a combination of capacities, processes, functions and approaches. As innovation involves novelty and emergence, managing it might sound counterintuitive. However, innovation can and should be managed, as good innovation management practices and capabilities secure and strengthen the effectiveness and longevity of innovation activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is innovation management? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Innovation management is a concept which speaks to the systematic management of and support for innovation efforts in organisations, including how it can be operationalised. Innovation management spans across a number of domains, from finance to capacity building, and is becoming an increasingly formalised practice in organisations across the world. This including new “innovation manager” roles and competencies specified in formal human resources management systems. At the international level, several efforts have been made to standardise the practice of innovation management, including through the development of an ISO standard for innovation management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
