Summary
Documents

This project seeks to develop an Innovation Management System approach to innovation management based on ISO 56000 series standards. We aim to adopt these principles to the energy networks sector through development of new methods, tools and processes that creates a more systematic approach to innovation – helping to ensure repeatable, successful outcomes.  
Through a systems-thinking lens, we will advance networks understanding of our innovation ecosystem – focussing on expanding whole systems coordination through the expansion of our Open Innovation model developed in RIIO-1. 

Benefits

This project seeks to standardise innovation processes, where appropriate, and achieve a reduction in the time taken to deliver new innovations to market.
