The ISO Innovation Management System (IMS) Standard (ISO 56002) provides a much needed and well-timed input to the innovation management discipline. While research efforts within the domain of innovation management have vastly increased over the past decades, research has primarily been conducted through specific contributions to distinct areas of innovation management (e.g., top management, culture, processes), lacking a more holistic perspective. Practitioners know that managing innovation is challenging. Bringing in a globally recognised standard that offers a holistic perspective will be key in professionalising the innovation management discipline, much like quality management and project management standards have done in the past.This book focuses on the ISO Innovation Management System Standard and the links with ISPIM's Body of Knowledge (BoK) special interest group, the ISO innovation management community, and the International Collaboration Platform for Innovation Management System (ICP4IMS). It covers four topics as follows:

This book quantifies best practices for developing innovative products cost-effectively. Analyses of dozens of studies show how managing the work of people collaborating in parallel creates products faster, cheaper, and better in any organization. Concurrent systems deploy four kinds of practice simultaneously to synergistically achieve high performance: Strategy, Process, Organization, and Tools/Technologies (SPOT).Appendices in every chapter enable stakeholders to benchmark their practices against Best-in-Class standards and identify gaps. A 'Big Bang' index prioritizes best practices for improvement. A Composite Model™ algorithm enables designers of product development systems to further boost performance capabilities by combining complementary practices additively and synergistically. Managers and stakeholders collaborate in using these unique methods to build a 'should be' vision of value development by closing gaps in their 'as is' system to achieve diverse competitive advantages.Case studies highlight how dozens of enterprises have successfully implemented SPOT practices to improve their performance. A transformation assurance process (TAP) provides tactics for champions to co-lead a five-step change journey: (1) Envisioning, (2) Diagnosing, (3) Assessing, (4) Implementing, and (5) Improving.

Focussing on radical and breakthrough innovation, Joe Tidd provides a crucial insight into over 50 years of research and experience, and illustrates how the pioneering work on innovation dynamics can offer a deeper understanding of radical innovation to inform future research, policy and practice, in contrast to conventional incremental business and management approaches.

This book puts management of product innovation in a corporate strategic perspective and argues that a company's competitive position is strongly related to an underlying unique and continually renewed product innovation work process, which drives innovation and delivery of new or improved products in the marketplace. The book will take the reader through a systematic examination of the necessary consecutive steps for companies' successful development of non-assembled products in the cluster of process industries.For readers in search of a seamless, easy-to-use, effective formal product innovation work process, from customer understanding to product launch, this book provides a guiding framework and 'hands-on' advice for work process design. A novel five-phase structural process model of the product innovation work process is initially introduced in order to orchestrate a more dynamic interaction between product and process innovation and the integration of sustainability and product eco-design in product design.The reader will learn first about the importance of aligning new product ideas with the corporate business model and product innovation strategy during the contextualization phase and then how to transform product ideas into well-defined complementary product and process concepts. In the movement of product ideas from the conceptualization phase to industrialization, the use of pilot-planting and production trials for scale-up of product and process concepts is further explored. To secure a design for processability, a novel industrialization sub-process is introduced, and the integration of complementary development of product and service offerings is further examined. The deployment of application development throughout and after product launch is highlighted for an enhancement of product commercialization and a reduction of 'time to break even' for new products.

Business and management approaches to innovation tend to focus on incremental changes to existing products and processes, such as new product development, design-thinking, and business model innovation. In contrast, Radical Innovation Challenges focusses on radical and breakthrough innovation, and identifies its distinct sources, organization, processes, and outcomes. This book illustrates conceptual models and practical methods to better understand and manage radical innovation, and provides an argument for an iterative coupling process, between knowledge-push and demand-pull challenges and opportunities.The book draws upon a distinct interdisciplinary body of knowledge to provide a crucial insight into the latest research and experience, and demonstrates how radical innovation practices and policies can be applied to fundamental corporate and social challenges such as climate change.

Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic global healthcare services faced the need to reshape healthcare delivery models in order to meet escalating demand, whilst maintaining quality of care and equity of access. What are the key factors that enable these critical changes to be delivered at scale and pace, and within the constraints of limited resources?Seyed Esfahani and Halkes are academics and practitioners who have extensive expertise in healthcare innovation research and practice, and in this book they explore innovation in the health sector through discussions on forward-thinking technologies, covering development and manufacturing approaches, as well as innovation management and training. Case studies review the successful application of innovation models and technologies from Brazil, Portugal, Austria, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Europe. How the lessons learnt during the COVID pandemic can be drawn on to accelerate innovation in healthcare and shape future models of delivery is a consistent theme throughout the book.Healthcare Innovation will be of interest and value to academics, healthcare professionals, innovation practitioners, and businesses, as well as those involved in setting strategy and policy. It highlights the key factors at an individual, organisational, and system level that need to be in place to enable effective healthcare innovation, as well as the spread and adoption of new practices.

In 2019, ISO Technical Committee 279 released a new international standard on innovation management system called ISO 56002:2019. The objective of this 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 manage innovation activities, projects, and programs. It does not describe detailed activities within the organization, but rather provides guidance at a general level. It does not prescribe any requirements or specific tools or methods for innovation activities. Essentially, the standard does not provide guidance on how to implement and/or use the standard. The standard basically tells you what to do and document – this powerful book tells you how to do it. The techniques in this book are directed at key tasks across the innovative process, such as maximizing quality, productivity, maintainability, usability, and reliability, while focusing on reducing the product cycle time and costs within the innovative process. Currently, there are no other comprehensive books available on how to fully implement this standard in companies. This book is crucial for managers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and consultants looking for help to reap the benefits of an innovation management system. This book takes you step by step through the process of developing an innovation ecosystem. In addition, it provides frameworks, tools, methodologies, cases, and best practices so your organization can experience the full value of the standard.

"This book has been developed specifically for students of Business and Management Studies, and for Science and Engineering students studying courses on innovation and/or entrepreneurship. It is designed to complement our best-selling text Managing Innovation: Integrating Technological, Market and Organizational Change (Eighth edition, John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024), which is focused more on the needs of specialist postgraduate and post-experience audiences. In this fourth edition, we were inspired by the pioneering scholars of entrepreneurship and innovation, such as Joseph Schumpeter and Peter Drucker, to attempt to re-integrate these two fields. For too long the two subjects have diverged into narrow disciplines, each suffering as a result: entrepreneurship has become preoccupied with small business creation and innovation dominated by new product development. In this text, we aim to reunite the study and practice of entrepreneurship and innovation. In Innovation and Entrepreneurship (fourth edition), we continue to take a unique position at the interface of these two fields, rather than a traditional narrow focus on one or the other. On the one hand, the Innovation field has a bias towards larger firms and formal processes, whereas on the other hand, the Entrepreneurship discipline is dominated by a focus on individuals, startups and small firms, but with little emphasis on the role of innovation. In contrast, here we adopt a view that aims to identify and explore the intersections and interactions between these two fields, such as entrepreneurship in larger organizations, and innovation in new enterprises and smaller firms. Integrating themes include social, sustainable and digital innovation and entrepreneurship"--
