Abstract

Four primary barriers to Innovation Management (IM) inhibit organizations from creating optimized procedures for the IM process itself, and from achieving optimal results for new projects and activities that IM procedures create. The IM barriers are: (1) mixing project and proposal management, (2) insufficient IM specialization, (3) feasibility evaluation process uncertainty, and (3) insufficient IM efficiency. This paper presents an integrated sequence of management solutions to overcome all four barriers, and in so doing, defines a broadly applicable framework for continuous improvement of IM performance.
