This article presents a proposal and prioritization analysis of innovation public policies through the application of the Delphi method. The fundamental purpose is to bring elements to answer the following question: ¿Do good innovation policy practices exist in Colombia? To contribute to this survey, an anonymous Delphi consultation method was made to experts with 92 variables in two rounds; which was sent to representatives of universities, Government enterprises, and Colombian interface entities. This is done with the purpose of prioritizing innovation policies of Colombia for the year 2025. The document is divided in various sections. A revision is presented on the concepts of innovation policies.

Based on this revision, its problems were identified, and one of them related to the non-structure structuring of problems of human activity was analyzed. With the end of complementing the analysis, a case of the application of soft system methodology was made, conceived in the 1960's by Peter Checkland in a Doctoral dissertation related to the Delphi method and its alignment with an innovation strategy in the frame of a management innovation model; with the purpose of generating a solved problem. Amongst the main conclusions, the advantages of the use of a soft system methodology were highlighted to help the improvement of non-structured human activity with the Delphi method, and its alignment with the company's innovation strategy in the frame of innovation management models.
