Elevation Insights ™ | R&D Directions IDEA GENERATION | Global R&D Capability Internal Company Mandate Description: We need to develop a cutting-edge R&D organization that stays at the forefront of global innovation, ideas and industry trends. To achieve the above objective, we also need to build a healthy mix of internal and external capabilities, including access to global key opinion leaders. Develop a dynamic plan that adequately captures idea generation in a wide range of research topics, along with a list of global R&D leaders and institutions (academic, national labs & industry) that can be tapped at various stages of our R&D roadmap. Summarize the plan within 10-15 slides and prepare presentations that are ready for our current and on-going monthly/quarterly executive level meetings
