GIMI-IAOIP are licensed by ANSI to sell ISO standards

BACKGROUND

Standards published will be ISO 56000 series. These Standards, once developed, will allow organizations to share their best practices in Innovation Management, and will facilitate collaboration as well as develop the capability to innovate, and to bring innovations successfully to market. These standards will be a set of best practices, which begins with senior management leadership involving the confirmation of the organization’s strategy. The standard is designed to support innovation in organizations, and work on the development of standards is done by working groups (WGs), each of which deals with a particular field. The first set is to be released in December 2018, followed by the remaining four sets in 2019 and 2020; the current US TAG Working Groups and Chairs/Co-Chairs are as follows:
