This standard is applicable to all countries and any type of organization, startup orestablished for developing an Innovation Management System (small-to-medium sizebusinesses, large enterprises (private or listed), government bodies, non-profitorganizations, sports organizations and entertainment, etc.). A separate guidelineapplicable to smaller organizations will be available. For small organizations, theissues are identical to those of larger organizations, but they have fewer resources withwhich to fulfil the requirements. This will require an adapted version of the innovationmanagement system specifically suited to their purposes.

A few more explanatory words on its applicability are required. The standard isintended to be universally applicable to all of an organization's processes, tools andmethods. That is exactly what makes innovation and new product development sodifficult: as it always will be a multidisciplinary and crossfunctional activity. That isalso the fundamental reason why so many organizations are struggling with innovationand new product development.

A few more explanatory words on its applicability are required. The standarThe IMS will integrate with other management systems (e.g., quality ISO 9000 &Environment, ISO 14000) by using specific Reference Documentation.It is applicable to the development of new products, as well as services and processes.The reason why we chose this broad scope, can be illustrated as follows with quite anextreme, and at the same time very down-to-earth example. A ton of sand is a bundleof services. The sand is quite uninteresting as it is the most common of commoditiespeople can think of. It is how the sand is delivered: where (not on the path to yourfront door), on the specified time (not later), with a clean truck, by a competent driverwho does not destroy your driveway, a correct invoice, and with a smile. Thisillustrates sufficiently that 'product' cannot be artificially separated from `service' and'process', even in the case of such commodity products. A generic definition of'product' will therefore always and by definition include services and processcomponents, and some products are actually no more than bundled services, processesor process improvements.
