Any project or business, regardless of its size, needs to innovate, and this is no longer an option,
it is a question of survival. However, innovating is not an easy task, especially for the education
sector. The education sector is lacking in innovation in Brazil, as the organizational structures of
teaching institutions are quite rigid and part of this is due to bureaucracies and barriers to the
implementation of new ideas. So, this market need is necessary, a series of solutions has emerged
to bring innovation closer together as educational organizations, although, in the great majority,
focused on the development of pedagogical methodologies and innovations in technology, with
high cost and long periods of development, leaving aside school areas such as management and
business. Given this scenario, this scientific-entrepreneurial research sought to analyze and
validate an opportunity presented to create a methodology dedicated to developing a solution for
the educational sector, to identify innovative bottlenecks and to enhance the innovation process
of these companies, to help search for new strategies and new ways to generate value to the
business quickly. Based on the Double Diamond approach, used to guide the validation and
creation process of LIA - Lean Innovation Audit, a methodology for identifying bottlenecks and
innovative gaps in educational institutions and the development of innovative potential in
schools. A case study was developed using an approach with a company in the IT area and the
results achieved with an LIA, brought improvements to the organization, a huge potential in its
application in different areas.
