Background

Product and Technology Roadmapping is a mainstream tool that has been used by industry sectors, companies, and non-profit agencies alike for 25 years. Now, with today’s corporate focus on innovation, roadmapping has taken on new importance. Leading practitioners use roadmaps to not only articulate product evolution with emerging technology and market trends, but to guide R&D investment and partnering/open innovation decisions as well. Because the ability to develop and implement roadmaps is an increasingly critical skill, Management Roundtable is pleased to once again offer this top-rated workshop.

Specifically, this highly practical and interactive two-day session will provide multiple case examples, templates and methodologies that will enable you to:

• Determine your organization’s current roadmapping maturity level and move up the curve

• Integrate your roadmapping activities with strategy development, R&D project planning and portfolio management

• Develop roadmaps that can represent multiple viewpoints – ensure that the format of your roadmap reflects the right emphasis

• Incorporate the role of suppliers into your roadmapping activities – creating situational awareness for the extended enterprise

• Bridge the gap between today and the unknown future, including technology investments, capability building, and channel development.

• Gain organizational buy-in and improve decision-making at all levels

This workshop is designed to help you turn your roadmapping activities into a highly successful practice. Designed specifically for those with some experience in developing and implementing roadmaps, it involves hands-on problem solving, scenario development and decision-making.
