Training in industrial innovation management
Training in innovation management is the first step for any industrial organisation to build the ability to innovate in a structured, efficient and sustainable way. Arturo Casado's training programmes, based on the 5-40® Methodology, give innovation teams the knowledge and tools they need to manage R&D&I projects with rigour from day one.

In-company courses
A training programme designed and delivered specifically for an organisation's teams, at its own premises or at a location of its choosing. Content, examples and practical exercises can be tailored to the company's actual situation: its sector, its ongoing R&D&I projects and the profile of participants.
Online courses
Innovation management training in digital format, with the same depth of content as the in-person format and the flexibility that industrial professionals need. Enables access to the programme from any location, with no need to travel.
Keynotes and training sessions
Shorter interventions designed to introduce the principles of the 5-40® Methodology or to explore a specific aspect of industrial innovation management in depth. Suitable for corporate events, sector conferences, congresses or awareness sessions with management teams.
Training delivered by a professional with real experience in industrial innovation management
Training in innovation management only has real value when it is delivered by someone who has directed R&D&I projects in complex industrial environments, not merely studied or theorised about them. Arturo Casado brings decades of direct experience leading innovation at large international industrial groups, patents in technically demanding markets, and research activity at MIT.
His 5-40® Methodology is not a framework adapted from others — it is the result of systematising his own professional practice.

Frequently asked questions about innovation management training
What is the goal of training in industrial innovation management?
The training aims to equip executives to lead innovation portfolios in their companies, and technical teams to plan, execute and control R&D&I projects in industrial environments. Unlike generalist business-innovation training, it focuses on the specific features of the industrial sector: technological complexity, high investment, long development timelines, industrial property, and access to specific public funding.
Who is this industrial innovation management training aimed at?
It is aimed both at executives responsible for innovation strategy and portfolio management, and at R&D&I project leaders and other professionals involved in these projects, such as Marketing, Procurement or Finance. It is equally suited to professionals wishing to specialise in innovation management within their organisations.
What sets this training apart from other innovation management courses?
The key difference is that the programme is based on the 5-40® Methodology, a proprietary system developed from the real practice of directing R&D&I in large international industrial groups. Participants do not just learn concepts — they acquire a structured, replicable working method that they can apply directly to their projects from day one.
Can the training programme be adapted to my company's specific needs?
Yes. All programmes can be designed and adapted to the organisation’s actual situation: its industrial sector, the profile of participants, the company’s level of innovation maturity and its specific objectives. The in-company format also allows training content to be integrated with ongoing R&D&I projects.
How does this training relate to the 5-40® Methodology?
The training is grounded in the 5-40® Methodology, the innovation management system developed by Arturo Casado. Participants learn to apply its 5 phases and 40 tasks to their own industrial projects, making the training a natural entry point towards implementing the method within the organisation.
