ABSTRACT
The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle is a keystone feature of the structure of any ISO management system standard (MSS). The most popular MSS - ISO 9001:2015 with requirements for a quality management system focuses on the PDCA cycle in its section devoted to the process approach which is also one of the seven quality management principles. In September 2024, ISO published the first edition of ISO 56001 - the standard with requirements for an innovation management system. The structure of ISO 56001 from Clause 6 to Clause 10 is aligned with the steps of the PDCA cycle at the system level. Surprisingly, Clauses 4 and 5 which contain requirements for the innovation management system and leadership are not explicitly mentioned. The purpose of this paper is to present a method for analyzing and uncovering the steps of the PDCA cycle at the clause/process level, and further on – at the activity level. The work preceding the drafting of this paper involved an in-depth analysis of the core text of ISO 56001:2024 and using previous research on ISO 56002:2019 as a guide to determine the steps of the PDCA cycle. The results will facilitate managers in enhancing their integrated management systems with elements of innovation management.
