JIN × Amplify joint program

Innovation Management Professional Training Program~Building a capability for Professional Innovation Management ~A joint program of JIN and amplify for innovation management professionals will be launched in Summer 2021!
This program gives you the foundation, the necessary knowledge about the tools, processes and systems needed to
manage innovation professionally, after which you will gain confidence as an innovation management professional aswell as being better prepared to obtain Sweden’s personal certification. This program is recommended to mid‐levelprofessionals in the fields of; 1) innovation management planning, 2) innovation strategy planning, and 3) innovation
project management and operations.
All theories and practices are based on the new international guiding standard for Innovation Management System,
ISO 56002 www.iso.org., and the 8 Innovation Management Principles.

What is ISO56002?
The figure on the right is the framework of the Innovation
Management System (IMS) defined by the international
standard (ISO56002). IMS is the “management OS”
required for continuous innovation activities. Even if you
introduce an "app for innovation" such as design thinking,the expected results will not be produced while themanagement OS remains optimized for daily operations(kaizen). Japanese companies should now "renew the oldmanagement OS" and train human resources who canrealize such a renewal.

ISO56002: Innovation Management System

What is the personal certification?
Personal certification of innovation management professionals is provided by the certification arm of RISE ResearchInstitutes of Sweden. RISE is a state‐owned research institute collaborating with academia, industry and society as acentral part of the Swedish innovation system.
It is the first personal certification program in the world of its kind, using a transparent and independent processaccording to ISO 17024. Personal certification is independent and separated from the training program and requires
the applicant to have at least three years work experience related to innovation management. The certification
process includes a knowledge test, a written case study and an oral examination.
Note: Taking this training program is not a promise to obtaining the personal certification.
