Press Releases The Learning Trust Announces New IM-4 Innovation Management Methodology IRVINE, Calif. - March 7, 2002 - Today, The Learning Trust celebrated the release of IM-4TM, an information technology framework and methodology for innovation management. IM-4 enables more efficient long range project planning in addition to an creating scalable and self-organizing innovation networks anywhere across an enterprise. By deploying IM-4 organizations can fuse human intelligence with information technology, thus creating a novel planning structure that simultaneously advances and strengthens collaboration efforts across and/or within various departments, business units, enterprises, and industries. IM-4 emerged as a technology framework by adapting leading innovation management methodologies used by researchers at universities in Europe and the United States to The Learning Trust's strategic roadmapping solution, Geneva Vision StrategistTM. IM-4 stresses both internal and external innovation planning continuously throughout an organization. Strategic roadmapping and innovation management are quickly becoming important practices at organizations and can counter the rapid and unpredictable flows of change that most industries and markets experience today. According to Gartner Research, innovation management will be a required core competency at all companies by 2007. Carl Dietz, CEO of The Learning Trust, shared some of his insights regarding IM-4 and Innovation Management: "IM-4 creates an innovation management framework that provides planning visibility across an entire enterprise, including alignment of plans with market requirements and company vision. IM-4 very quickly reduces planning risk, providing near instantaneous ROI for any large organization. IM-4 enables companies to become more competitive, reduce R&D investment risk, improve planning accuracy and reduce the time required to execute the planning lifecycle". With the release of IM-4, strategic planning and innovation management can be carried out with more efficiency and goal-directed accuracy. Some beneficial traits of IM-4 include: improved opportunity and project visibility, cross-functional planning alignment, the creation of a cost-reducing planning synergy, and the identification, reduction, and management of risks.
