Innovation project management strategy through best practices in higher education institutions

Abstract

Based on the research during the first quarter of 2022, this article is aimed to establish a progress strategy for the project management of the innovation program through good practices which allow its standardization and the accomplishment of the objectives that are set. For the realization of this program, a qualitative investigation was proposed. Moreover, a data collection instrument was developed to be handled by the population under study. The main results state that the mainstay of this innovative study program is endorsed by institutional people in management, which displays multiple possible scenarios to improve the areas proposed previously, and high perception synchrony about the incidence and relevance of the program can be confirmed. By contrast, the need for more human resources is evident due to the lack of talent management and the complexity of the topic. In addition, these inputs' necessity has been revealed based on the same methodology used for the advancement of the program, which determines the standardization need, decision-making importance, and strategy innovation.
