The Need
Challenges of R&D Decision Support Frameworks
Advanced R&D groups today are typically challenged by:
- Constrained engineering resources: To continually and
systematically assess threats, emerging changes and opportunities to
the global technology landscape appropriate engineering resources are
typically constrained.
- Overloaded with information from multiple disparate resources: In
most cases, business decision-makers do not want a large collection of
data. They want data to be compiled and analyzed, with different
scenarios and their corresponding advantages and challenges laid out
so the decision-makers can draw rapid conclusions and act on them. In
many conditions R&D executives are overloaded with unstructured data,
this data has a need to be further sorted, classified and analyzed.
- Ad hoc methods: The Technical Intelligence support function in
most conditions is not an established ongoing discipline and could be
strengthened within R&D. Assessment of R&D partnering opportunities
could be identified in a more timely, accurate, disciplined and
rigorous manner.
- Lack of skill sets: Due to the difficulty of blending scientific
inquiry, artificial intelligence/data mining, IP and R&D decision
support resources, the ability to deploy a meaningful TI program is
somewhat challenging.
