Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction
0.1 General
An organization’s ability to innovate is recognized as a key factor for sustained growth, economic
viability, increased well-being and the development of society.
The innovation capabilities of an organization include the ability to understand and respond to changing
conditions of its context, to pursue new opportunities and to leverage the knowledge and creativity of
people within the organization in collaboration with external interested parties.
This document is intended to help the user by establishing a coherent, consistent and common
framework to:
a) understand the main terms, definitions, concepts and principles of innovation management;
b) support an organization to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve an innovation
management system and other innovation management standards; and
c) facilitate communication and create awareness of innovation activities internally and across
organizations.
Clause 3 specifies the terms and definitions that are necessary to understand innovation management
and an innovation management system.
Clause 4 provides the fundamental concepts and innovation management principles, describing why
organizations should engage in innovation activities, the main concepts regarding innovation and the
principles that an organization should consider as the basis for the effective management of innovation
activities as well as the foundation of the innovation management system.
Annex A presents the concept relationships graphically.
Annex B presents the relationship between the definitions within this document and those provided by
other policy-setting organizations.
0.2 Relationships with other innovation management standards
This document relates to the ISO 56000 family of standards, developed by ISO/TC 279, as follows:
a) ISO 56002 Innovation management — Innovation management system — Guidance, provides
guidance for organizations to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve an innovation
management system;
b) ISO 56003 Innovation management — Tools and methods for innovation partnership — Guidance,
provides guidance for organizations working together to innovate;
c) ISO TR 56004 Innovation management assessment — Guidance, provides guidance for organizations
to plan, implement and follow-up on an innovation management assessment;
1)
d) ISO 56005 and subsequent standards provide further guidance on tools and methods to support
the implementation of an innovation management system.
1) Under preparation. Stage at the time of publication: ISO/DIS 56005.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction
0.1 General
An organization’s ability to innovate is recognized as a key factor for sustained growth, economic
viability, increased well-being and the development of society.
The innovation capabilities of an organization include the ability to understand and respond to changing
conditions of its context, to pursue new opportunities and to leverage the knowledge and creativity of
people within the organization in collaboration with external interested parties.
This document is intended to help the user by establishing a coherent, consistent and common
framework to:
a) understand the main terms, definitions, concepts and principles of innovation management;
b) support an organization to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve an innovation
management system and other innovation management standards; and
c) facilitate communication and create awareness of innovation activities internally and across
organizations.
Clause 3 specifies the terms and definitions that are necessary to understand innovation management
and an innovation management system.
Clause 4 provides the fundamental concepts and innovation management principles, describing why
organizations should engage in innovation activities, the main concepts regarding innovation and the
principles that an organization should consider as the basis for the effective management of innovation
activities as well as the foundation of the innovation management system.
Annex A presents the concept relationships graphically.
Annex B presents the relationship between the definitions within this document and those provided by
other policy-setting organizations.
0.2 Relationships with other innovation management standards
This document relates to the ISO 56000 family of standards, developed by ISO/TC 279, as follows:
a) ISO 56002 Innovation management — Innovation management system — Guidance, provides
guidance for organizations to establish, implement, maintain and continually improve an innovation
management system;
b) ISO 56003 Innovation management — Tools and methods for innovation partnership — Guidance,
provides guidance for organizations working together to innovate;
c) ISO TR 56004 Innovation management assessment — Guidance, provides guidance for organizations
to plan, implement and follow-up on an innovation management assessment;
1)
d) ISO 56005 and subsequent standards provide further guidance on tools and methods to support
the implementation of an innovation management system.
1) Under preparation. Stage at the time of publication: ISO/DIS 56005.
