Many companies recognise the importance of innovation in developing R&I projects and activities, but some find it challenging to develop the most efficient strategy, processes and organisational and financial resources. This priority of integrating innovation into a company’s management must also be combined with other relevant currents of change (digital transformation, social impact…).
An appropriate innovation strategy allows for these transformational challenges to be addressed in a coordinated and effective manner, from an integrated perspective. It is the link between the definition and development of new products or services and a company’s overall business strategy. With the appropriate innovation strategy, a company can integrate, into its business strategy, all the elements necessary to bring new products or services forward on the market.
We have a team of experts in Innovation Strategy, led by Guillermo Dorronsoro, Management Board Advisor at Zabala Innovation, who can help make the link between “Strategy” and “Innovation.”

What is ISO 56000?
ISO 56000, Innovation management is the fourth in an eight-part series of standards and other guidance documents, designed to help organisations use the correct terminology for innovation management and consistently communicate about their processes, achievements and learning paths.
It provides the vocabulary, concepts and fundamental principles of innovation management, and is useful for organisations that want to make their innovation management activities visible and credible.
