Cutting-edge R&D — Efficient and Effective
-
IP Protection: Patents are expensive! Are they protecting your business and giving you the value you expect?
-
Fast and lean R&D Processes: Do you have the right operations leading to your new products?
-
Ideation: Do you have enough disruptive ideas to differentiate your company from the competition?
-
Technology scouting and mapping: Where do you acquire key technologies and make sure that you do not miss out on the next trend?
-
Disruption vs. iteration (Innovation funnel): How do you balance the new product pipeline?
-
Project selection, planning, gating: Low-hanging fruit and/or key projects? How does the time to money and ROI compare?
-
Roadmaps (Market, technology, Product): How do you tailor your product development to customer needs and your technology capabilities?
-
Resource planning and allocation: The fight for resources — Are you doing the important or just the urgent?
-
Correct and adequate documentation: You have the product. Can you manufacture it, stock it and keep innovation alive?
