Innovation Management System (ISO 56002)
The Innovation Management System (ISO 56002) Training Course shows participants how to turn the standard's requirements into working policies, processes, and controls. Learners run gap analysis, design governance, and simulate audits on their own organization's route to certification.
Introduction
Innovation becomes reliable when it stops depending on individual talent and starts running as a managed system. ISO 56002 provides exactly that structure: a framework for the context, leadership, planning, support, operations, and evaluation of innovation activity. This Innovation Management System (ISO 56002) Training Course gives participants the knowledge to interpret the standard and apply it inside a real organization. Furthermore, it covers innovation strategy, portfolio governance, competence development, intellectual property, and performance evaluation. Participants also learn to plan implementation, run internal audits, and drive continual improvement. As a result, they leave able to build an innovation system that holds up to scrutiny.
