Around the world, ISO 56001 is emerging as the new benchmark for managing innovation with greater structure, discipline, and impact. In Malaysia, MIMOS became the first organisation in the country and among the Asia-Pacific pioneers to achieve ISO 56001:2024 certification in November 2025. Globally, Dubai Culture is among the early adopters to attain ISO 56001 certification in 2025, while OKI became the first Japanese company to acquire it. External business commentary has also positioned ISO 56001 as a strategic complement to ISO 9001 for organisations that want to go beyond maintaining quality and start building innovation as a system. 

At PMO Innovations, we help organisations respond to this shift with confidence. Our professional services are designed to help you strengthen innovation capability, align strategy with execution, improve systems and governance, and build practical pathways towards ISO 56001-aligned innovation management. We do not just help organisations talk about innovation. We help them systemise it, operationalise it, and turn it into real business value.

Why this matters now

The landscape is changing. Structured innovation is becoming a serious management priority, not just a side initiative. Early benchmarks are already visible.

• Malaysia’s first benchmark is already set — MIMOS has achieved ISO 56001:2024 certification. 
• Global momentum is visible — landmark adopters have emerged in government and industry. 
• The business case is strengthening — ISO 56001 is increasingly seen as a strategic extension to existing management systems such as ISO 9001.
