Seminar on Innovation Management

Is chaos and free flow a prerequisite for innovation and new ideas? The answer is no. Experience shows that organizations that succeed in innovation rely on systems and clear leadership to guide their efforts. In cooperation with NTNU and Sopra Steria, Standards Norway invites you to a half-day seminar on Innovation Management on 16 October 2025.

How can we strengthen innovation in a systematic way and build structures based on international best practices?

At the seminar, participants from business, the public sector, academia, and innovation communities will come together to share knowledge, experiences, and perspectives on how innovation management can be put into practice. The seminar will be relevant both for those already working with innovation management and for those who wish to learn more.

Why should you attend?

The seminar will provide insight on three ISO standards that organizations worldwide use to organize and manage their innovation activities:

  • ISO 56000: Fundamentals and vocabulary
  • ISO 56001: Innovation management system (requirements standard and basis for certification)
  • ISO 56002: Guidance on innovation management

You will learn how international best practices can be applied to great advantage and hear examples from organizations that already work systematically with innovation, achieving results that make an impact both nationally and internationally.
