The visual design of technology roadmaps greatly enhances their value as communication aids but this is being overlooked.
When a technology is ‘pushing’ a new invention through R&D and sales without a comprehensive consideration as to whether it satisfies a user need then integrating TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) methods have value in anticipating performance.
As the range of knowledge required for global innovation becomes wide and more varied, co-location is no longer sufficient.
Innovation is now a major driving force for business growth and success but coping with the challenges during the innovation process can be difficult for technology managers. Could the concept of Innovation Readiness Levels help?
The issue of assessing technology for business application is cited as a major concern for managers in industry. Representatives from a range of industries were interviewed to review the tools and techniques currently available and to identify gaps and limitations.
