Why InnoSkills
• Innovation processes have less to do with inspiration and more with systematic
work routines
• Need to increase the implementation and use, by SMEs, of innovative
approaches and procedures
• Levels of SMEs competitiveness increase as their employees skills increase
• Innovation must be a transversal process, involving all staff, in particular, those
operating the real change
