Innovation Is An Ongoing Process — Not A Single Event

The process of managing a company’s innovation strategy, from the first step of ideation to the last stage of successful implementation, is referred to as innovation management. It includes the decisions, activities, and practices associated with creating and carrying out an innovation strategy.

Innovation management is a business discipline that tries to promote a sustainable innovation process or culture within a corporation. These innovative management projects frequently employ a disruptive way of transformation that changes the business.

Innovation as output could result in a product, platform, service, business model, channel, customer experience, enabling process or structure. This is achieved through a structured process of innovation that includes exploration and execution. Exploration involves generating ideas and selecting promising ideas.

Then, the CIM program is designed in complying with ISO Standards for innovation management practitioners, who aim to learn idea generation and implementation tools for breakthrough innovations.
