ISO 56001 is codified innovation management knowledge

ISO 56001 codifies the knowledge of the innovation management discipline. It draws upon decades of practical experience and academic research. We know, for example, that strategy, leadership, and culture are critical success factors for innovation efforts. The problem is that this knowledge has been fragmented and difficult for organizations to apply practically.

ISO 56001 integrates the critical innovation success factors into a management system. It provides a structured framework for organizations to manage their innovation activities and achieve sustainable results effectively. It can be implemented by any organization and integrated with other management disciplines, such as quality (ISO 9001) and environment (ISO 14001).
