Output and Delivery

Writing the backbone of an innovation management plan

The innovation management plan is made up of three main parts. u00a0Number one is the project goal or the purpose, and this includes the phases of work of the project. The second item is input, and the third is output. The second phase of the plan incorporates research or audits or stakeholder interviews where you are getting up to speed on their business, reading all their brand and business documentation. The plan’s output section entails activities, the work, the deliverables and presentations, the signoffs, the timeline of each phase, and the fees associated with those phases.

Delivering the innovation management plan

Writing a plan is an advanced form of sales where individuals present ideas to willing buyers and earn their approval. Like in other sales forms, the key thing to remember is that people buy from people, so project managers must not expect the project document to be taken up by stakeholders in isolation from any communication they had. Investors will also never award funding and resources and mindshare to a project without considering the originator of an idea. It is vital to remember this because you can write the best project proposal document, but you have a slim chance of getting your project funded without people interaction.
