This workshop shares best practices with the innovation agent task force and helps to further develop an innovation assessment tool for ISO 56000 and to establish Europe wide innovation services which are are certified Europe wide based on the same skills set. The workshop also focuses on the need for innovation best practice sharing and discusses how the new ISO 56000 norm series for innovation management systems can be launched in European industry.
In the EU project TRIREME the innovation assessment model, the tool have been further developed and used with leading industry as trial partners. Laura Aschbacher, MA, MBA is the team lead of SmartSPI development and has been the innovation assessor in the trial assessments with leading industry in the last 3 years.
