Are You Prepared to Innovate?

R&D Today

R&D Today – sharing ideas, good practice and innovation in R&D management.

R&D Today aims to share knowledge, new approaches and well proven techniques, it is the outreach site for the Research and Development Management Association (RADMA), a charitable organisation that supports research, best practice and education.

The intention is to signpost resources, papers and tools that would be of value to someone working in R&D and innovation management. All content is credited and referenced back to the source in line with the fair use doctrine.

We have found the Pentathlon provides a useful framework for discussion – click through the slides below to explore further.

If you are working in this field do get in contact.

Our Themes

There is no shortage of challenges facing R&D managers, but sources of practical help can be in short supply. To assist we have selected a number of themes that are of wide interest:

– technology strategy
– ideation and creativity
– managing the pipeline
– open innovation
– roadmapping
– managing international R&D

For each we have invited two guest editors, a practitioner and an academic, to curate a useful resource for each.

The Pentathlon Framework

Without risk you cannot have game-changing innovation

The key to successful innovation is to fail fast at the front-end, where the impact on the business can be managed.

The Pentathlon Framework can be used to describe a structured process that removes the risk of failure as ideas progress through the ‘Innovation Funnel’.
