In general terms, a technology roadmap provides a framework to develop
and share a “big-picture” view of the economic impact of a technology and
to define strategic actions to optimise its exploitation.
For a company, a roadmap will help focus effort and resources on how
your key technologies and products meet market and social drivers, both
through defining the potential opportunities and also identifying the major
constraints and barriers to achieving these goals.
It identifies:
-
what will a successful future look like?
-
what are the constraints to achieving this?
-
knowledge and skills
-
science and technology
-
economic
It will also guide the allocation of resources, for example:
-
which investments and initiatives can remove the constraints & so
accelerate implementation?
-
research themes
-
knowledge transfer activities:
-
technology transfer
-
technology and partnership brokering
How can we help:a) Provide frameworks to allow fast and effective capture of the main
components of a roadmap suited to you needs
b) Be an independent party to deliver facilitated workshops and surveys of
key stakeholders to develop detailed roadmap
c) Produce consolidated, balanced reports of opportunities and barriers,
and strategies for successful exploitation
To see examples of roadmaps developed with clients please see
case studies.
