Why do #innovation standards matter? 🤔 An original contributor to #ISO56000 breaks it down into 3 key reasons: ✅ They address the immaturity of innovation practices in most organizations. ✅ They provide a structured, practical framework to make innovation more accessible. ✅ They establish a universal foundation for organizations to build on. But the biggest takeaway? ISO 56000’s "adaptable, non-prescriptive framework allows customization to specific goals." Translation: It tells you how to manage innovation, NOT how to innovate. Still think standardizing innovation kills #creativity? Think again.

Stop making #innovation about processes. ❌ Instead, make it about SYSTEMS. ✅ For decades, innovation has been treated as a process. Structured. Repeatable. Linear. And that’s fine. But not anymore. Now, a systems approach is needed to take innovation into the future. To make it sustainable. Scalable. SYSTEMATIC. Out with the old, in with the new. It’s all about mindset. And moving forward. That’s innovation, baby. 😎 So, how do you make the shift? Joanne Hyland shares her expert take here: https://lnkd.in/gS9XBRQe #innovationmanagement #ideamanagement #corporateinnovation #iso56001

Are #innovation managers just implementers? No! 🙅♂️ They’re also system architects. ✅ And as system architects, they don’t just "standardize" innovation—they shape it to fit their organization’s unique reality. A structured framework is just the start, and it only works if you adapt and refine it. Here’s how: ➡️ Tension fuels progress: New frameworks disrupt habits. Use friction to refine, not force change. ➡️ Structure vs. agility: Some teams need clear rules, others thrive on exploration. Find the right mix. ➡️ Keep it alive: Innovation isn’t static. Continuous learning and leadership buy-in make it stick. Want to build an innovation system that works?

For years, #innovation has been treated as a one-off event. An occasional burst of creativity. Or a risky leap of faith. But... What if it could be structured and scaled like financial planning or supply chain management? What if we could... ✅ Embed innovation into strategy, making it a core function—not an afterthought? ✅ Foster collaboration by breaking down silos and aligning teams? ✅ Balance structure & flexibility, giving creativity the framework it needs to thrive? HYPE's Chief Consultant Colin Nelson breaks down how you can start leveraging the leading framework for innovation management systems to make it all possible: https://lnkd.in/d9JtvRKv #innovationmanagement #ideamanagement #corporateinnovation
