R&D PROCESSES

 IP Protection | Ideation | Innovation | Roadmaps

 

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?

I have managed, grown and integrated R&D groups from the very small to large corporate entities, internationally (Asia, NA, Europe, Africa). Through these activities, I have in-depth experience in:

 
  • Harmonizing company culture with local customs

  • Gating processes, agile and lean development

  • Project management and reviews

  • Ideation and technology scouting

  • IP portfolios

  • Application engineering and R&D structures

  • Balancing disruptive and iterative development
