INNOVAGENDA12 principles for managing innovation
by Ilario Tornese · Certified Innovation Manager (UNI 11814)
A new or changed entity, realizing or redistributing value.
The definition in ISO 56000, the basis of innovation management and of my Innovation Manager certification (UNI 11814).
12 principles for the strategic management of innovation, inspired by the ISO 56000 series. Not a checklist, but the management lens the DISBIT method applies to processes.
Value realization
Value doesn’t come from the idea, but from putting it into practice.
Read →#02Managing uncertainty
Uncertainty isn’t something to eliminate but to manage: it is the ground where meaningful innovation grows.
Read →#03Strategic direction
Without strategic direction, innovation becomes scattered effort instead of a competitive lever.
Read →#04Systems approach
Innovation becomes a real capability only when it stops being occasional.
Read →#05Future-focused leadership
Leadership doesn’t just protect stability: it sets the direction of change.
Read →#06Innovation culture
Culture decides what you are allowed to do when you innovate.
Read →#07Exploiting insights
Insights turn information into choices: without them, you innovate blind.
Read →#08Adaptability
Adaptability is a designed capability, not an improvised reaction.
Read →#09Open innovation
The ecosystem speeds up what the organization, on its own, tends to slow down.
Read →#10Knowledge management
Knowledge becomes an advantage only when it is collective memory, not individual know-how.
Read →#11Performance assessment
Measuring well isn’t control: it is steering learning and direction.
Read →#12Integrity and social responsibility
Integrity isn’t an afterthought: it is responsible design from the start.
Read →Innovation doesn’t fail for lack of ideas, but for lack of governance.
