Introduction of Lean in Innovation Process

Magistrsko delo v teoretičnem delu predstavlja koncept in pristope vitkosti v procesu inoviranja v podjetjih. Ker je inoviranje ključni dejavnik pri zagotavljanju konkurenčne prednosti večine podjetij, kar delo na koncu tudi potrjuje, se njegovo teoretično jedro osredotoča na koncept vitkega inoviranja, ki pa se večinoma odvija v obliki projektov. Delo tako v teoretičnem delu opisuje izgube, potencial in agilnost. Poudarek pa daje menedžmentu projektov, menedžmentu portfelja in vlogam podpornih funkcij. Teoretične koncepte in pravila spremljajo še praktični primeri. V zadnjem delu analiziramo intervju, opravljen s podjetjem in ugotavljamo prednosti, ki bi jih podjetje pridobilo z implementacijo vitkosti v proces inoviranja.The master’s thesis in theoretical part represents the concept and lean approaches in the process of innovation in companies. Since innovation is a key factor in ensuring the competitive advantage of most companies, which thesis also confirms in the end, its theoretical core focuses on the concept of lean innovation, which mostly takes place in form of projects. The thesis in the theoretical part describes losses, potential and agility. But the focus is on project management, portfolio management and on the role of support functions. Theoretical concepts and rules are accompanied by practical examples. In the final part, we analyse the interview conducted with a company and presuppose the advantages the company would gain by implementing lean in innovation process
