Innovation partnerships start with a gap analysis,followed by the identification, and engagement, ofpotential innovation partners and the governance of their interaction.NOTE The essence of an innovation partnership is for all parties to mutually benefit from working togetherin the context of an opportunity for innovation.This document is not applicable to organizations seeking innovation by merger or acquisition.There are no normative references in this document.No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
Once an opportunity for innovation has been identified, the organization should conduct a gap analysisto evaluate the difference between the organization’s existing competencies,capabilities and assetsand those it needs.
Based on the gap analysis, the organization can decide if the project can be handled internally or throughtraining, new hires and/or acquisition.For instance, when the opportunity cannot satisfactorily behandled within the organization, the organization should consider partner selection.
ln most cases a gap analysis produces an inventory of missing technological and organizationalknowledge, competencies,capabilities and assets, which then is used to identify and select the mostappropriate partner(s).
lt may also happen that based on the relevant internal and external issues, needs and expectations.an organization can join forces without any defined opportunity for innovation. It may have thecompetencies,capabilities and assets to handle the innovation initiative alone, but still preferspartnering.ISO 56003 pdf download.
