PMI - Project Management
In our collaboration with the Akia Otomotiv R&D Team, we aim to offer an opportunity to specialize through in-depth knowledge of project leadership and management. By also answering the question "How is project management carried out from the Project Management Institute (PMI) perspective?", we believe that embedding preparation for international project management programs will strengthen our future projects.

Inside the project
Focus
How can R&D teams turn technical knowledge into value-added products?
The Akia Otomotiv project focused on addressing the organization's project / service need within an R&D management framework.
Technology investments remain on paper unless they become ways of working. This project aimed to enable that transformation.
The R&D teams had strong technical expertise. They needed a management system that connected this expertise to a technology roadmap and products.
Scope
We worked with the R&D team on project leadership and management. We explored how projects are managed using the PMI approach as part of preparation for international project management programs.
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.
A strong R&D center does not just produce technology, but connects it to the organization’s future.
The journey we designed

- 02REFRAMEThe work was co-created with the organization’s teams throughout the project. Feedback informed the design at every stage.
- 03BRING IT INTO THE ORGANIZATIONThe resulting model was connected to the organization’s operations.
Kaykayoğlu project insight
R&D is a capability, not a resource. When managed, it creates value. When unmanaged, it remains a cost.
