The selection of a process that is relevant and
appropriate for a company’s specific context and requirements
is important. Note that finding the right process might require
some time and experimentation – and that what is right today
may not be right tomorrow.
Processes should be linked to company strategy and a process should
be a means to an end, not the end in itself. They should be simple
and easy to use. Processes can only help to facilitate innovation,
not make it happen.
Processes that should be considered in the context of innovation
include,
- Idea Management
- New Product Development
- Portfolio Management
- Human Resource Management
- Information Technology
- Market Research
- Communication
- Measurement
