ISO 50500 series innovation management: overview and potential usages in organizations
Abstract
Innovation must be supported by a mindset shift, and cannot be reduced to innovation labs or creativity rooms with fancy furniture, writable walls, adding innovation as a company value, or launching innovation challenges. Those will generate buzz, not a sustainable innovation mindset. Culture is something you need to support, enable, and maintain. In 90's; quality culture has been spread in the whole industry value chain through ISO 9001 standards. This set of standards has defined what quality means, which are the core principles and how to structure the quality system. ISO9001 has been embraced and deployed across many organizations, this standard proved to be instrumental in quality culture dissemination. Innovation management needs the same visibility and the same culture development in today's organization. The future ISO standards on innovation management (ISO 50500 series) is presented in this paper, and their expected impact on building an innovation culture is motivated. ISO50500 series stems from the 2013 ISO Technical committee on innovation management that has been created under the impulsion of AFNOR (French standardization office). The scope of this technical committee has been approved by its members in 2014: " Standardization of terminology tools and methods and interactions between relevant parties to enable innovation. " As of today, the committee gathers 48 countries and 6 international liaisons with international institutions (WIPO, WTO, OECD, CERN, World Bank and EPO).
