Read MoreThis course is very detailed and provides excellent insight into how the ISO 56002 standard can be applied. It goes beyond the checklist nature of it to help you understand the relevance of the different sections and key things to think about in designing an innovation management standard, especially to be compliant with the standard. The additional information around leadership was very useful as well, to help innovation leaders consider how they can improve their own leadership competencies. I will be referring back to this course many times over as I apply the lessons to my innovation work.

What are our students saying?
Bianca Welds
"The course is very detailed with a lot of additional resources. The material is not only tightly linked to the ISO 56002 standard but the instructors include tips from their experience to help make it more practical and applicable to the real world, including things to look out for when creating an innovation management system.
The insights around leadership were particularly useful to me in providing some clear guidelines on where to improve my own innovation leadership skills.
Having taken the course, I plan to use the material to improve the systems in my work and provide more structure around our processes, even if not yet planning for full adoption of the standard. The course will help a lot with guiding how to structure a solid innovation management system that can create real results."

"I recommend the Innovation Management course by Eicorn Academy. It clearly articulate the standard requirements, provide practical advice and suggestions for real-world application, and features a comprehensive list of further references to continue to enrich your learning.
I appreciate that ISO 56002 takes a holistic view of innovation management systems, extending beyond the organisation and its core business to also consider the external environment and context, through to end users and customers."

Corrado Patierno
"I found the course to be very complete, unlike the other ISO courses that I have followed in the past, this course is less schematic and more oriented to give a form of thought oriented towards innovation. Very rich in extra content of articles and advice on books outside the course which I find really important.
Taking this course had a direct impact on my career and way of working. Firstly, it helped me better qualify work activities that I was already doing with a pattern very similar to that of ISO 56002. Secondly, I could build my ISO 56002 "quality manual", specifically built to follow innovation projects. Thirdly, but not least, writing academic articles on innovation based on the content and techniques described by ISO 56002."

"I like the ISO 56002 Innovation Management Systems course because it sits well with my aspiration of always breaking the jinx and challenging the status quo, I expect the effect of taking this course to project my image among my colleagues."
"The direct insight I got from this course is that any organisation that fails to innovate stands the risk of self extinction. I will apply every bit of my learning outcome to the way I run my department, my dealings with our internal and external customers and new products design."

"I was astonished when I found the Eicorn Academy ISO 56002 course because it was just what I needed for my activity as consultant in Innovation Management. I work with ISO 56002:2019, and previous standards since long ago, and I know that guidelines are not enough to build a useful system. What is needed is the background of concepts, tools and experience contained in this course to ensure a valuable outcome. Thanks Jenny, Daniel, and David, you are the best!"
Fakhruddin Saifuddin

Why we developed this course
The short answer is because the world needs it. Every organisation needs it.
And probably, since you are here, you need it.
-
It turns out that at least 70% of all innovation programs fail, and that only 6% of business leaders are satisfied with the results of their company’s innovation work.
-
In our view, this confirms that corporate innovation is broken.
-
At Eicorn, we think that this is completely unsustainable. The waste of scarce resources, talent and time must stop immediately and be redirected towards value creating activities. Wouldn’t you agree?
-
Not just because waste is stupid, but more importantly, because we are convinced that innovation is the best tool, besides from politics, to overcome many of the world’s present challenges, and to create a more sustainable society.
-
We were super-excited to learn that there is now an ISO-standard in line with what we believe in, and we want to make sure that this spreads and gets deployed throughout the world.
What is ISO 56002?
ISO 56002 is a guiding standard on how to build innovation management systems, and part of the ISO 56000 innovation management series.
As described by the International Standards Organisation:
“[The]… document provides guidance for the establishment, implementation, maintenance, and continual improvement of an innovation management system for use in all established organisations.”
The standards cover the following areas:
- Strategy
- Leadership
- Culture
- Processes & Structure
- Internal and external forces
- Performance measurement
- Continuous improvement
Why a standard for innovation?
The world is experiencing an unprecedented rate of disruptive technological, social, and environmental change. The predictability of the past is gone.
The world is changing fast, and this shows in the data:
- Only 44% of today’s industry leaders have held their industry leader position for at least five years, compared to 77% 50 years ago
- The gap in profitability between the top- and bottom-quartile has almost doubled in 30 years
- GDP growth has declined by more than 1/3 in the past decade
- One out of three public companies will cease to exist in their current form over the next five years- a rate six times higher than 40 years ago
And corporates have a hard time to cope with this increased rate of change:
- 6% of all business leaders that are satisfied with the results of your company’s innovation work
- 70% of all innovation- and 70% of all digital change programs fail
- 95% of all product innovation fail
And this is where the 56000 innovation standard series can play a vital role:
- Alice de Casanove, Chair of the ISO technical committee responsible for the standard, says "all organisations, whatever their nature or size, need to continually evolve in order to survive, and the ISO 56000 series will help them to do that in a structured and effective way.”
- ISO 56002 as described by ISO: “The purpose is to provide guidance on how an organisation could build and what needs to be addressed to build an innovation management system without detailing the specific system itself.”
