What an innovation management system is and why it is important

The world’s first international standard for innovation management system has been developed and published by ISO, with about 50 participating countries. It can guide your organization to innovate on purpose - again & again.
An Innovation Management System is a guiding framework for all types of companies and other organizations that want to strengthen their innovation capabilities. It is a check list, based on a systems approach, of what the organization should consider implementing given its overall innovation ambitions and abilities. The guiding framework is generic and adaptable and does not prescribe specific tools or methods.
ISO 56002:2019 Innovation Management System – Guidance was published in July 2019. There are seven key elements in the framework: context, leadership, planning, support, operations, evaluation, and improvement.
A globally agreed standard for innovation management system will establish a common terminology and a credible reference framework, including innovation management principles.
This will help managers to understand what innovation is and what it takes to effectively manage innovation activities.
Companies and organizations can adopt a systemic and systematic approach to address their innovation challenges that will increase the likelihood for success. The guiding framework is compatible, and can be integrated, with management systems in other areas, such as quality and environment, in the organization. It also provides the basis for consultants offering innovation management services.

It is the informal networks that get the work done even within large formal hierarchical organizations. I had worked on 'Innovation Networks' project in a major corporation and applied the works of UVA Prof. Rob Cross. See example in the pic below - 3 employee (color-coded circles) and their corresponding positions in the two networks -
