2023 (English)In: Changing the Dynamics and Impact of Innovation Management: A Systems Approach and the ISO Standard / [ed] Joanne Hyland, Magnus Karlsson, Ingrid Kihlander, John Bessant, Mats Magnusson, Jimmi Kristiansen, London: World Scientific, 2023Chapter in book (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
Abstract [en]

This chapter describes and analyses the development of an Innovation Management System (IMS) at Kanthal — a world-leading brand for products and services in industrial heating technology and resistance materials, based in Sweden. The journey began with late-night thoughts and discussions by the coffee maker on leveraging the organisation’s potential regarding innovation capability. There was a feeling that an improvement could be made. In 2017, Process Industrial IT and Automation (PiiA), part of Sweden’s Strategic Innovation Program, launched a research project to understand the innovation capability within the Swedish process industry. Kanthal joined, and the journey started with the implementation of a programme for increased innovation capability. The assessment revealed a focus on incremental innovation, barriers in the climate for innovation, and an inability to take advantage of the expertise and competencies available in the organisation. While this journey started before releasing the ISO 56002 innovation management standard, these insights align well with this standard.
