Innovation projects require a different approach to project management than traditional methods. Traditional project management approaches often limit the scope of innovation and fail to account for the unpredictable and dynamic nature of innovation. This can lead to the loss of valuable ideas and the inability to successfully implement innovation initiatives.

To address this challenge, there is a need for actionable tools, processes, and metrics that can help manage innovation projects effectively. Innovation Project Management provides these resources, offering practical advice and actionable tools for managing innovation projects.

One of the key challenges of managing innovation projects is identifying problems in the organization. Traditional project management methods may not be effective in identifying these problems, as they are often focused on predefined scope and forecasted environments. Innovation Project Management helps readers identify problems in their organization by providing insights into the different types of innovation and the characteristics of each.

Once problems have been identified, it is important to conceive elegant solutions. Innovation Project Management provides guidance on how to develop and implement innovative solutions that address the identified problems. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration and teamwork in innovation projects and provides strategies for promoting these values within the organization.

In addition to providing practical advice and actionable tools, Innovation Project Management also offers value-based project management metrics and guidance on how to establish a metrics management program. This can help organizations measure the success of their innovation projects and make informed decisions about future investments.

The book also shares exclusive insights from project managers at world-class organizations such as Airbus, Boeing, Hitachi, IBM, and Siemens on their experiences managing innovation projects. These insights provide valuable lessons and best practices that can be applied to other organizations.

In conclusion, Innovation Project Management is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in managing innovation projects. It provides practical advice and actionable tools for effectively managing innovation projects, offers value-based project management metrics and guidance on how to establish a metrics management program, and shares exclusive insights from project managers at world-class organizations. By embracing a different approach to project management, organizations can unlock the full potential of innovation and achieve sustainable competitive advantage.
