Abstract
In the last few years, a group of teachers of the School of Engineering of the University of Valladolid, have been involved in an innovation and continuous improvement process in order to update our teaching activities. On the one hand, we aim to promote the learning process of the existing paradigms in the business organization field. On the other hand, our goal is also that our students can acquire and develop the specific and generic skills that they will need in their future in their professional activity. This endeavour has led us to the implementation of a portfolio of innovation projects e.g. the creation and use of different learning methodologies, the development of tools for supporting teaching activities. This paper is intended to concisely describe the key elements of this innovation effort.

Acknowledgements
We would like to begin by expressing our gratitude to all the people who have participated in the development of the different improvement projects and initiatives on which we have been working; to a greater or a lesser extent, they have all made an effort and worked with dedication, contributing not only to the initiatives which have been described in this document but also to others which are not so noticeable. On the other hand, a fact that should be highlighted is the recent recognition of our innovation effort by the Social Council of the University of Valladolid in the latest edition of its Teaching Innovation Awards. We would like to thank them for this recognition, which is has been an incentive for continuing with our teaching innovation efforts and progressing towards a kind of teaching activities which should be adapted to the present needs of society.
