What do you think about roadmapping?

Welcome to the R&D Today Roadmapping theme from the editors, Rob Phaal, Clare Farrukh and Sven Schimpf!

We will be providing regular updates on technology roadmapping from practice and applied research, including invited contributions from around the world.

We welcome inputs from practicing R&D managers and others interested in technology roadmapping and related techniques. Please feel free to contact the editors if you have any comments or suggestions for developing this theme for R&D Today.
