A methodology for managing industrial innovation
Arturo Casado is a consultant specialised in innovation management for industrial companies. Through the 5-40® Methodology, he provides organisations of any size with the system, tools and support needed to turn R&D&I into tangible, sustainable results.
The 5-40® Methodology:
a structured process of 5 phases and 40 tasks
The 5-40® Methodology is a proprietary innovation management system built on decades of experience leading R&D&I projects in industrial settings. It establishes a clear, replicable, and measurable process that enables industrial organisations to manage their innovation portfolios with rigour—from identifying opportunities through to market launch.
Without a defined process, innovation in an industrial company does not deliver results
Many most industrial organisations approach innovation without a structured methodology.
The outcome is predictable: poorly organized R&D&I portfolios, resources misallocated to low-value initiatives, and consistently low project success rates. In the absence of a defined innovation process, time is wasted, investments are squandered, and competitiveness is lost.
Which companies can benefit most
from the 5-40® Methodology?
The 5-40® Methodology is designed for industrial organisations that need to structure and professionalise their innovation management. It applies equally to large corporate groups with established R&D departments, to growing industrial SMEs, and to technology start-ups seeking to scale their model sustainably.
