An original proposal for the formulation of innovation projects is presented based on a process approach. The method consists on identifying the key components from the innovative idea and the corresponding processes. On each process it is determined the inputs, the change operators or main activities and the outputs or products. The strategy of the project is formulated from the relationships existing among the strategic processes. The proposal is backed up by a set of tables that contribute to develop the main components of the project. It is shown that the proposed methodology is consistent and easy to apply.Se presenta una propuesta original para la formulación de proyectos de innovación basada en el enfoque de procesos. El método consiste en ubicar los componentes fundamentales de la idea de innovación y establecer los procesos correspondientes, explicitando para cada proceso las entradas o insumos, los operadores de cambio o actividades sustanciales del proyecto y las salidas o productos del proyecto. La estrategia del proyecto se formula a partir de las relaciones existentes entre los procesos identificados. Tal propuesta está respaldada por un conjunto de fichas que contribuyen a facilitar el desarrollo de los principales componentes del proyecto. Se demuestra que el método es consistente y de fácil implementación.An original proposal for the formulation of innovation projects is presented based on a process approach.
