The Innovation Management Model
Vocational training centres and, in general, most small and medium-sized companies do not have tools or systems that enable them to manage innovation effectively. Their management systems are geared more towards tackling the tasks that represent their day-to-day work rather than creating time and resources for forward planning to enable them to work on innovative projects.
Responding to this widely recognised systemic deficit, the headline aim of the RAINOVA project is to encourage the development of innovation systems for the regions represented by the project partners.
Sponsored by the European Commission, the RAINOVA project has the ambition to generate at least the following innovative outcomes:
Establishing interlinked Regional Innovation Networks, bringing together key European actors involved in innovation and knowledge transfer in order to meet the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy.
Creating an Innovation Management Model, providing both a climate and culture for effective transfer of knowledge.
Initiating Innovation Observatories, providing the necessary support for the members both to promote new innovations and benefit from them, as well as a management process for developing and exploiting the results of innovation projects, which will help to bring about more flexible, demand-led VET systems.

Some questions we have to answer ,…
• What is an Innovation Management Model?
• Who is the Rainova Model for?
• Why do we think a new model is needed?
• In which way will our model be different?
• What do we understand by Innovation Management?
• What is the initial hypothesis?
• Which are the parts / elements that make up a Management Model?

The Innovation Management Model
All kind of organization can be innovative:
Being aware about what is happening
Using this information to develop new ideas, processes and products (normally through the development of innovation projects,…)
Adding value to the customers in a continuous way
Designing an open organization
Getting employees that think beyond organizational limits

The Innovation Management Model
The Rainova Management Model of Innovation is a tool designed to facilitate, at any kind of organization, a better and clearer understanding of innovation management.
Hence it provides a framework of the factors that favour the generation of innovative organizational context (culture of innovation), as well as of the processes that make innovations possible to obtain and their social and economic use (systematic innovation).
These elements, "culture" and "systematics" make up what we call
“The STANDARD MODEL"

The Innovation Management Model
The Rainova Management Model of Innovation also allows organizations to design their own model of innovation management, suggesting a large number of tools, methodologies, good examples and practices that can be used to achieve the objectives.
This part of the model is called
“The ADAPTED MODEL"
