“…If this is not done, roadmapping will remain a stand-alone process, searching for its place after the first application and lacking opportunities to achieve continuous improvements of its results (Gerdsri et al, 2009). This paper presents a method to support the continuity of the roadmapping process in organizations, developed through action research in an innovative company.…”

Purpose Roadmapping has been used as an approach to support market, product and technology-integrated planning, resulting in a document commonly known as a roadmap. Despite the gains made in relation to the technique, recent studies indicate that most users leave or have difficulties in sustaining the process (i.e. maintaining the updated roadmaps). This paper aims to present a framework for continuous roadmap updating that incorporates principles from agile management fields. Design/methodology/approach The framework was developed through action research in a manufacturing firm in the construction industry. Findings The results demonstrate a positive impact on the degree of continuous information monitoring, roadmap credibility and use of the roadmap during innovation strategy decisions. Originality/value The key contribution of this framework is the demonstration of a new strategy for carrying out the maps in which information is internalized by the organization itself, using agile teams, without commissioned specialists and as part of the work standards.

“…A comprehensive literature review was undertaken on emerging technologies in the three sectors, which allowed secondary data to be gathered according to a systematic approach. This was accompanied by the collection of data from a series of other activities, such as attendance by the author at lectures, workshops and conferences proach can also be highly contingent on the people dimensions associated with the culture of the organisation as well as the roles and responsibilities of those involved with the process implementation (Gerdsri et al, 2009). Although the resulting roadmaps can be useful visual outputs of the roadmapping process, the real value associated with this technique is often the planning that is carried out in order to generate the roadmaps and such planning will be dependent on both the quality of the available information as well as the participation of those involved.…”

Emerging Requirements for Technology Management: A Sector-based Scenario Planning Approach

Identifying the emerging requirements for technology management will help organisations to prepare for the future and remain competitive. Indeed technology management as a discipline needs to develop and respond to societal and industrial needs as well as the corresponding technology challenges. Therefore, following a review of technology forecasting methodologies, a sector-based scenario planning approach has been used to derive the emerging requirements for technology management. This structured framework provided an analytical lens to focus on the requirements for managing technology in the healthcare, energy and higher education sectors over the next 5-10 years. These requirements include the need for new business models to support the adoption of technologies; integration of new technologies with existing delivery channels; management of technology options including R&D project management; technology standards, validation and interoperability; and decision-making tools to support technology investment. 35 stringent national and international legislation to reduce carbon emissions have the potential to result in higher liabilities for companies involved in the fossil fuels exploration and production business and consequently this can drive the need for technology solutions that reduce such emissions.In addition to contributing to new product development, technology forecasting can provide companies with the evidence to make strategic decisions in regard to the development of technical capabilities and this includes the prioritisation of internal R&D activities as well as external investments with research suppliers. Other organisations, such as governmental agencies, research foundations and charitable bodies may use technology forecasting to support research investments in areas that have societal benefits, for example, research on developing improved algorithms for cyber-security applications. Literature review on technology forecastingIn order to identify the emerging requirements for technology management that lie ahead and principally over the next 5-10 years, it is useful to first consider the approaches that are currently used to forecast technologies themselves. This is because future technology management issues are likely to be related to the corresponding technologies under development in the future. In terms of the current practice for forecasting technologies, there are a number of different processes that are in use. Requirements capture (Cooper et al., 1998) and subsequent analysis can be undertaken for any given field of interest, for example, the capture of the industrial requirements for new or improved structural aerospace materials, such as metal-matrix composites. Requirements engineering through a scenario-based software tool has been previously reported and this method is based on the initial acquisition and modelling of a use case (Sutcliffe et al., 1998). Comparison of the use case with a collection of abstract models corresponding to different application classes is carried ...

Strategic Innovation Planning and Partnerships: Aligning Market, Products/Services/Processes and Technologies

There are different tools to support the innovation planning, however, the paradigm of open innovation shows that there is a need to adopt different partners in the development of technology, product, service or process, and many of the proposals in the literature ignore this theme on the innovation process. This study proposes a generic model to strategic innovation planning, especially for technology push approach. The model was developed from an action research and literature review, which includes these elements. It contains three different stages ranging from the identification of markets and possible partners to carry out a strategic plan for innovation. The application identifies the technology core of the organization and possible technology, products, services or processes to be developed. Results on the practical application of the model over different innovation processes can be objects of future research.
