Active innovation management is performed by companies to create an environment that fosters innovation. In a product line environment, platform and predefined variability restrict innovation because the development artifacts in the platform and the variation are prescribed. An analysis of innovation projects in literature shows that moderate innovations like introducing a new member of a product line yield only a small return on investment. This paper introduces a series of measures that can help to prevent a lock-in of a product line organization with respect to innovation. We take a look at various aspects of innovation – personnel, customer and market, technology and engineering, organization and process. Organizations may pick the best-suited measures for their current situation.
