We all know that technology commercialization success starts with the end in mind, a product with market viability. However, it’s not always clear at the outset what the defense and the commercial market want from your product. Successful companies find a way to create a living technology development strategy that evolves as you learn more about your market and customers.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to flip the narrative on traditional technology development by creating the first draft of your living technology roadmap. The roadmap will give focus and purpose to your R&D efforts, while providing your team with clear decision pathways. The technology roadmap will become the foundation of your company’s strategic plan, guiding everything from funding strategy to staffing plans.
At this workshop, you’ll learn how to maintain the roadmap as a living document within your company. You’ll also learn how to build a team to own the roadmap and guide its execution. Finally, you’ll begin to translate your roadmap into an actionable business strategy that’s rooted in your company mission and vision.
