Towards global
Innovation Management Principles
International standardization
ICIS 2018 [updated 2019] • Magnus Karlsson
Background
Develop a guiding framework for top management to manage innovation
activities.
What are the fundamental innovation management principles?
ISO
Why now?
Lack of credible and
common framework
Lack of common
definitions and language
What is standardization?
4
Voluntary process of developing specifications
based on consensus among all interested parties
Carried out by independent standards bodies, at national,
regional (e.g. CEN) and international (ISO) level
International standardization
CEN/TC 389 started in 2008, by Spain
First publication 2013: CEN/TS 16555-1 Innovation Management System
Work started in ISO/TC 279 in 2013, by France
Publications during 2019: ISO 56000-series

7 Adaptable structures
Incorrect performance metrics
Organizational design
Board inaction
Talent bench shortfall 9%
Strategic diffusionAdjacency failures
Voluntary growth slowdown
Customer dependencyFailed acquisition
Premature core abandonment 10%

Organizational Factors – 17%
Strategic Factors – 70%
Unable to innovate (new products/services)
Within management control 87%
Outside management control 13%

Companies still confused
What it is
What it can do
Weather it can or should be formally managed
Innovation Management Principles
Should be revised based on further research and
practical experience
