—     describing how to prepare for front end innovation activities;
—     addressing people and organization issues, including innovation leadership, culture and strategy;
—     detailing innovation activities and their interrelationships;
—     outlining activity and process evaluation considerations that are important for innovation success.
A sub-set of processes are addressed as described in ISO 56002, i.e. identifying opportunities, creating concepts, and validating them. The activities within these processes, when managed together, bring forward viable innovation concepts for development. Developing these innovation concepts into solutions and deploying these solutions is addressed by ISO 56002 and is outside the scope of this guidance document.
This document provides guidance for any innovation type along the continuum from incremental to radical innovation, as defined in ISO 56000.
This guidance is intended for:
—     any user involved in innovation, whether for an organization or individual;
—     any organization type or scale;
—     any understanding of value creation and realization, whether for profit, social impact, changes in strategic direction, or any other purpose.
This document can help organizations to systematically manage their opportunities and ideas to realize greater value from front end innovation activities to arrive at go/no–go decisions for development. There is no one method or set of tools for use in all situations. Choice is impacted by a range of related considerations to be addressed in this document.

This part of IEC 60300 gives guidance on specifying dependability requirements and collating
these requirements in a specification, together with a list of the means of assuring the
achievement of the dependability requirements.
The guidance provided includes:
• specifying quantitative and qualitative reliability, maintainability, supportability and
availability requirements;
• advising acquirers on how to ensure that the requirements can be fulfilled by suppliers;
• advising suppliers to help them meet the acquirer's requirements.
Other obligations, such as legislation and governmental regulations, can also place
requirements on items, in addition to any requirements derived in accordance with this
document.
Whilst mainly addressing system and equipment level dependability, many of the techniques
described in the various dependability related IEC standards can also be applied to products or
at the component level. The term "item" is used throughout this document.
This guidance is given in a basic project context where an acquirer obtains an item from a
supplier. It can be modified and adapted to other situations as needed.
NOTE 1 This document does not directly consider safety and environment specifications although much of the
guidance in this document could also be applied to them.
NOTE 2 This document does not cover items with special multi-stakeholder long-term arrangements (e.g. services
provided through Public-Private Partnership procurements) and how dependability is specified in such arrangements.
NOTE 3 The guidance in this document can be applied to some aspects of the specification of requirements relating
to software but specific guidance can be found in IEC 62628 [5] and the different parts of the IEC 61508 series [6].

Based on the following considerations:
 reminder of Systems Engineering and its scope of application,
 positioning of SE management in Programme Management and in relation to Systems Engineering
technical activities,
 identification of interfaces between SE management and the other disciplines linked to
Programme Management,
the purpose of this standard is:
 to help the acquirer and the Organization to establish management requirements for SE activities,
 to help the supplier to construct the elements of the management plan (explain how to reply in
particular to the management requirements).
This standard applies to the various levels of the product tree for the products that can be considered
as systems:
 in the general case of an supplier which, with the help of one or more suppliers, develops a system
on behalf of an acquirer,
 in the case of an integrated team (sharing of SE roles, responsibilities and risks).
NOTE ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2010 integrated team should include organisation discipline and functions which
have a stake in the success of the work products.
This standard constitutes a guide illustrating the requirements and possible responses for SE
management. It can be used as a check-list which should be adapted or completed according to the
specific context of each project.
