This course covers Innovation management in the context of ISO 56001 Innovation Management System. It also provides the opportunity to gain knowledge on the regulations and processes of Innovation management. Participants will also be introduced to the concept of Plan-Do- Check-Act in managing Innovation with policies, processes, procedures and controls.
