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.

The Managing Director is always wondering: Is this giving me value for money ?
