Innovation via R&D

 By fostering these principles and practices, organizations can effectively connect cross-disciplinary research and accelerate innovation, leading to advancements in various fields.

Human societies are complex with a long history; from the past to the present, quite a lot of complex problems haven’t been solved thoroughly. Thus, research on varying subject domains helps to dig deeper, investigate cause-and-effect relationships, discover hidden patterns, and explore the “art of possibility.” Connecting research and accelerating innovation involves creating an environment where new ideas are generated, tested, and implemented efficiently. Several factors contribute to this process:

Creating a Conducive Environment: Innovation thrives when top management supports it and provides leadership in the area. A diverse workforce that welcomes ideas from outside the mainstream is crucial. Individuals who push for innovation should be encouraged. Dedicate specific resources to innovation rather than expecting it to occur spontaneously. Streamline Communication; ensure organizational layers are closely connected to facilitate easy communication and implementation of innovations; experiment with different approaches, understanding that not all can succeed.

Integrating Science and Technology: Technology involves the systematic study of techniques for making and doing things, while science is the systematic attempt to understand and interpret the world. Convergence between science and technology can be achieved when scientists study the methods of practitioners and practitioners learn more science.

Managing Research and Development Projects: Most research and development projects are examples of project-based production systems where resources are brought together for a specific task and then reassigned. Project managers must balance development costs and predicted sales, ensuring that the total development effort aligns with available resources. A steady flow of new research and development proposals is required, with each studied by technical, commercial, financial, and manufacturing experts.

Digital is the age of customers, focusing on customer needs should be the right path to grow the innovation fruit. By fostering these principles and practices, organizations can effectively connect cross-disciplinary research and accelerate innovation, leading to advancements in various fields.
