Inside the project
Focus
How can an R&D center move from a cost center to a value-creating system?
The Bıçakçılar project focused on addressing the organization’s consulting needs through R&D management.
The account of this project was structured around the organization's own definition of its needs.
The value of R&D is measured not by the number of reports it produces but by its contribution to decisions that change the business world.
Scope
We worked with the R&D teams on preparing the documentation for establishing the centre and delivered in-house R&D orientation training. We facilitated sessions on rapid problem-solving with TRIZ and creative technical thinking for human-centred new product design and modifications to existing products or services.
Implementation
HOW WAS TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT POSITIONED IN THIS PROJECT?
We treated technology management not as inventory keeping but as a decision-making system connecting technology to business value. The roadmap was built using the teams' own data.
R&D management is not about tracking projects but about building a bridge between technology and the market.
