The classic problems in R&D
We
know from experience that companies are usually facing
similar problems:
-
Projects which drag on unfinished because "they are difficult”.
-
Results of technological research which seem impossible to put into practice.
-
Costs which are difficult to justify, and with R&D it is often not possible to guarantee return on investment.
-
Engineers who are seeking to fulfil their own goals rather than those of the company.
-
Available knowledge and skills are poorly identified and often not used.
-
Wonderful products which unfortunately do not answer to the customers expectations.
-
R&D teams proud of their knowledge and know they are always right.
