• Support for assessment, training and communication: common language for assessors, trainers, consultants and interested parties.
• Emphasis on systemic and inclusive approaches: internal and open innovation, stakeholder engagement, and context-sensitive application.

Typical use and users

Adopted by organizations seeking a common language for innovation activities, by managers designing or improving innovation processes, and by consultants, trainers and assessors working on innovation management.
