Product Development and the Innovation Process for Research, online sessions
Five online sessions from April 15-April 29 (5pm CST) covering best practices and effective tools to develop breakthrough and innovative products for researchers and graduate students. Led by the National Council of Entrepreneurial Tech Transfer
Course Description:
This course will expose SBIR researchers and graduate students to technology transfer and technology commercialization best practices that are utilized to develop breakthrough innovative products. The main focus is to provide technology readiness and technology transfer/commercialization tools and metrics to effectively execute the end-to-end product delivery process. A key technology commercialization tool, for achieving best-in-class quality, schedule, cost and creating customer value, is the Time to Market (TTM) process. Effective TTM metrics management, TTM execution and TTM best-in-class case studies will be presented. The course is arranged into two key technology commercialization categories: market attack planning and technology readiness/staging for transfer or commercialization. Specific TTM Topics:
- Integrated New Product Development Delivery Process – The TTM Process
- Market, product strategy, vision for commercializing disruptive technologies – Elements of the Market Attack Plan (MAP)
- Technology capability demonstration, technology maturity and technology commercialization best practices – Technology Readiness Criteria
- Technology transfer best practices for extending the R&D partnerships enterprise and IP strategies to protect the business case – Developing Partnership
- Technology transfer and technology commercialization case studies – Commercialization Examples Best Practices
