ROADMAPPING(Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

Roadmaps, as viewed by the MATI community, are documents that reveal the key defining elements of the markets, products, and technologies for a select part of the firm. Roadmapping is the activity of creating and then communicating those roadmaps for decision making. Roadmaps are unique documents in their emphasis on time and change, rather than treating assumptions as constants. Roadmaps take those moving targets and establish their priority, extend them using forecasts, and link them across the firm and sometimes through the customer, partner, and supply chain.

(R7) Roadmapping Process Checklist - A list of common activities necessary to complete the roadmapping process including market drivers and technology strategy (3 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/rm-ts-voc-process_checklist.doc Technology roadmaps are the documentation of a structured process to define, analyze, and plan the development of a core product/technology. Some companies use a small group of technical experts to keep the roadmaps current. The better approach is a multi-disciplined one where experts from engineering, research, marketing, planning, etc. are involved in the process. Each company will implement the process in its own way. However, there are some common concepts that all companies deal with

while implementing the roadmapping process. After the technology, product line, product, or component is identified, in general terms, as a candidate for the roadmapping process, the following activities are necessary to complete the detailed roadmapping process. The results from each activity are documented on a series of roadmapping templates for presentation, as needed.

Page 6: MATI Deliverables

The job of implementing roadmapping is really one of getting others to learn the technique, create roadmaps and then use the output in meaningful ways. A measurement scheme is needed to know how well you are implementing it. Three measures are suggested (the MATI I study using "aligned decisions"). The commonly used techniques are then discussed in terms of their effect using those measures. See “Getting Buy-In for Roadmapping”, Tom Kappel in Intra-org. Issues.

Tentative conclusions are presented on ideal conditions for roadmapping and the successful tactics for implementing or spreading it.

(R14) Training Exercise: Intra-Organizational Issues in Roadmapping, Elliott Fan, IBD (in several sections as noted) – In development.While still in development, this learning exercise has already been successfully piloted at two MATI meetings. It involves having executives from several departments (currently technology, marketing and strategy/finance but being expanded to include manufacturing) role play in a roadmapping development team. The team is required to develop strategies and roadmaps under changing conditions, for a fictitious firm. The package of materials includes initial briefing materials for each function, materials distributed to each function as an update after initial discussion and a guide for facilitating the exercise.

Using a case-based, exploratory method, Kappel addresses several practical questions, such as: What are the effects of roadmapping? How are they measured? Is roadmapping always appropriate? How would an organization know if it is roadmapping well? What are the various kinds of roadmaps and how do they relate to each other?

(R17) Next Generation Roadmapping: From R, D &E Management to Innovation Management, from Products & Technologies to Partners and Platforms, Ronald Jonash (Arthur D Little) (24 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/ADLittleJune2000.ppt This presentation argues that successful companies will be those that are able to continually and systematically innovate by thinking in terms growth platforms of core technologies or capabilities and the management of partners chosen strategically to facilitate rapid product development.

(R21) Technology Planning Survey - Strategic Technology Management: Linking Technology Resources to Company Objectives, R. Phaal and C. Farrukh, Cambridge University (32 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Cambridge_Tech_Plan_Survey.doc This survey was conducted by the MOT group at Cambridge to establish current practice in the area of ‘technology planning’, with specific reference to 'technology roadmapping' in the UK and, in the US through a ‘supplementary’ survey. The following broad conclusions are drawn:1. While technology planning is an important business activity across industry sectors and company types, there is little commonality in terms of perceptions, approaches and tools. There is a need for improved frameworks and tools, with a desire for simple, structured, robust, flexible and integrated tools and processes. These findings support the need for the development of a tool catalogue.2. The survey demonstrated that technology roadmapping can be used successfully for supporting technology strategy and planning, although its adoption represents a challenge in terms of both initiating and sustaining

the process. There is considerable interest in the development of the fast-start TRM process.

(R22) Fast-Start Technology Roadmapping, Rob Phaal, Claire Farrukh and David Probert, Cambridge University (11 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/Ucam_fast-track_TRM.docThe paper which describes the development and application of a process for supporting the rapid initiation of technology roadmapping in manufacturing firms can be of particular interest to SMEs. The 'start-up' process comprises a series of facilitated workshops that bring together various functions in the business, including technology and marketing. The process supports understanding and communication of the relationships between market and business requirements, product and service concepts, and technological solutions. The approach encourages learning and staff involvement, and identifies key knowledge gaps, enabling a company-specific roadmapping process to be initiated quickly. In addition, theoretical aspects of technology roadmapping are discussed, in the context of managing technological knowledge.

(R23) Technology Road Mapping: The Issues of Managing Technology Change, David Probert and Noordin Shehabuddeen, University of Cambridge (5 pages)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/TRMChange_paper.docTechnology roadmapping has emerged as a key management tool in formulating the link between technological resources and the exploitation of market opportunities. A powerful aid to strategy formulation and communication, the technique has the major advantage of bringing many functions within a business together around a common plan. Although there is no definitive guide to roadmapping practice, the application in many different businesses has revealed a number of generic aspects. A major common factor is that technology road maps are concerned with the introduction of technology change into an organization.

Changing Ba of Roadmapping (4 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/changing_ba_of_roadmapping.doc Applying Nonaka’s concept of Ba, a contextual framework is presented which considers how roadmapping has moved from a focus primarily on enhancing the voice of technology & R&D in strategic planning to including a range of business units and functions and, gradually, suppliers. As a response to rapidly changing and uncertain conditions extension of the roadmapping context to explicitly consider multiple scenario variations (more so than is currently done) is suggested.

(R32 – also listed as TT8) What's an Organizational Routine? ‘Unpacking Knowledge Management’, Daniel Levin, Discussion of success factors in technology roadmapping and technology transfer (53 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/road/org_routine.docBy focusing on the specific and crucial technology roadmapping (planning) and transfer processes ( defined and described in more detail below), this research grounds the theories and concepts of knowledge and learning in what actually goes on in organizations. In 14 cases at four large companies, it may not be enough for organizational learning to take place if there is only an ability to absorb new knowledge and a high degree of comfort in doing so. Rather, supporters had to have the power and influence in the organization for knowledge flow to happen and overcome inertia. The paper shows how two critical, knowledge-intensive organizational routines (technology roadmapping and the intra-company technology transfer) operate in practice in multiple companies. It is based on a cross-case comparison at multiple firms.

TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT (Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

The role of knowledge and intellectual capital as key drivers of innovation and strategic thinking and the technology management tools required for implementation, including those related to technical and contextual foresight, have become a central focus for MATI work in the strategy area. The MATI task-force’s working definition views portfolio management as involving a collection of intellectual property rights, technologies, processes, products, and/or projects, that are controllable and managed (explicitly or implicitly) by a technology-intensive firm to maximize/optimize the total value of the innovation mix over a given timeframe in order to meet its longer term strategic objectives. The task-force .is exploring "state of the art" practices, particularly in terms of dimensions used, general approach, what does and does not work and the influence of "industry clock speed" (product life cycles). Questions being asked include whether all industries should handle portfolio management in the same manner, what are best practices for portfolio valuation, cash flow, turns, option theory and strategic fit and determining the interplay between portfolio management and other practice areas.

The examples for the use of scenarios to create plausible views of the future provide a basis for development of robust strategies.

2. New Perspectives

(TS/PM5) A Discussion about Futures, Ralph Wood, United Technologies (8 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/Futures_Discussion.pptPresentation intended to stimulate discussion of MATI’s orientation and future by considering changing the current “inside-out “orientation to “outside-in” value generation targeting potential customer needs, reaching out to form communities of practice and establishing a distribution mechanism currently lacking in MATI. Included in the presentation are provocative questions of MATI’s “ideal” product and “brand”.

A war scenario provides the illustration of a MATI technique of

mapping the future back to the present, evaluating the Innovation Competency Distribution (academic, commercial and defense), and leads to the MATI I model of mining technology, exploration domains and technology assumptions. Translating to business concepts (business and technology value chains) shows how Roadmaps recognize and illustrate linkages. Using these techniques, specific technologies can be isolated to map the state-of-the-art and innovator relationships, suggesting virtual consortia and raising the question if core competency lies in creating and sustaining coalitions. The MATI I lesson of Strategic Alignment is overlaid with the concept of Scenarios to anticipate discontinuities.

(TS/PM7) Distributed Knowledge Creation and Management: Transition to the Almost Virtual Enterprise, John Peterson, Lucent (32 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/Peterson_MATI_Feb2000.pptWith "old think" dominated by financial expectations, "new think" asserts that Time/Tempo/ Innovation drives business & financial performance. Since the Business Value Chain is inefficient, a change in perspective is necessary and MATI is an emerging meta-structure for developing the business in which technology deals with innovation by redefining markets. A contextual view of strategy is presented in which creation of the "new think" growth engine is supported by roadmapping and recognizing actionable technology clusters.

(TS/PM8) Creating Technology Centered Advantage: A Strategic View from the Knowledge Battlespace. John W. Peterson (9 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/secure/articles/Tech-centered-advantage.docStrategy, a military term that has been adapted for use in the business environment, is a very powerful concept that is both directional and temporal. It exists in concept space bound by system-specific, renewable, knowledge-based resources which include a knowledge-creation infrastructure, technological capability, a dynamic network for access to capital and organizational will and intellect. Unfortunately, strategic context is also a shared virtual space. The competition lives there too. Survival for large technology intensive companies requires improved situational awareness and a carefully crafted context shaping capability. Also required is contextual strategic decision congruity and a flexible meta-structure to create, dissolve and later recreate teaming arrangements that leverage multiple firms capabilities. The author suggests a framework for defining a credible future end-point and a tool set for developing the strategies and capabilities necessary to get there, particularly during times of structural stress and technological discontinuity.

(TS/PM9) Creating Intellectual Capital Advantage: Really Leveraging Innovation, John Peterson, Lloyd Eriksen and Kevin A. Greer, Lucent (12 pages) http://mati.ncms.org/secure/articles/techstgy/iamot01-curdft.docA methodology is presented for a process to better manage intellectual capital (later defined as explicit technical knowledge). The findings concern the alignment of business strategy, organizational learning as part of the product technology roadmapping process and aggressive management of the technology attack strategies. Intellectual capital, as an integral part of the business strategy and requiring decision considerations that come from the perspectives of the creator, the owner/manager and the user(s), are central. Moreover, the transfer of intellectual capital must be recognized as not necessarily a Tofflerian second wave zero-sum-game. Intellectual capital management becomes a strategic means of generating funding for enterprise growth through market shares (accelerating product introductions and dominant designs), technology licensing and transfer fees, leveraging multi-company competencies and capabilities and supply chain barter.

(TS/PM10) Knowledge Creation and Information Management in the Technology Intensive Enterprise: Strategic Fabric Not Infrastructure, John Peterson and Michael Radnor (will be posted shortly with link via email)Although the relationships between technical expertise and management decision processes remain a strategic issue, information management has become a political solution answering, at least in part, how, functional expertise in a technology intensive organization can be integrated to create intellectual capital, product, market and business advantages. Major best-in-class technology intensive companies are beginning to recognize that success in the new millennium will depend on the ability of the enterprise to create and apply knowledge in ways that fit dynamic and ever increasingly complex global markets and changing corporate environments. They understand that global pressures will no longer allow the response time for restructuring to force the alignment of new hierarchies and under-performing organizations. This work-in-process will introduce several new concepts that begin to address the traditional boundary between technical expertise and management decision processes. The new methodologies help bridge disparate functional environments, enabling technology life cycles, and the balancing of disruptive and sustaining technologies.

(TS/PM11) Technology Tools and Processes as Potential Engines of Sustained Corporate Growth: MATI I Findings. John Peterson and Michael Radnor (will be posted shortly with link via email)The management gurus proclaim that ‘state-of-the-art’ product technology is a critical corporate asset and a formidable strategic weapon for achieving competitive advantage. Unfortunately, the ‘financial engineers’ who

16

Page 17: MATI Deliverables

dominate capital markets continue to place a premium, not on intellectual capital and innovation capabilities, but on near-term share-of-market-capitalization growth. The unintended but immediate result is executive emphasis on reduced and more focused short-term low-risk incremental investment and a longer-term reduction in the ability to generate disruptive technological innovation. This paper critically analyzes a generic model of the technology intensive firm based upon the value chains that underlie the model’s relative competitive capability. Demonstrated is the direct linkage of technology, multiple value chains to business goals and objectives. Manipulation of the value chain elements results in the quantum leaps in speed (to market), efficiency (margin and price) and quality (differentiation) that can help reestablish the strategic role of investment in technology in the mind of the financial engineers/analysts. The MATI I processes and tools provide an internal engine for generating sustained growth.

Portfolio Management(TS/PM12) Technology Management Processes, Heather Rayle, Rohm & Haas (14 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/portmgmt/PORTMGMTmatipres.pptA discussion of the key issues in project/portfolio management lays the foundation for presentation of the project and portfolio management approaches. R&D Project information provides data for the risk assessment model. The steps in assembling and presenting technology portfolios are provided, including a research focus view as well as a project "bubble chart" assessed by technical and market success prospects.

(TS/PM13) Evolving Technology Portfolios, John Peterson, Lucent (23 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techstgy/MATI-TEKPORT.pptThree critical portfolio issues are discussed: 1. how will the enterprise leverage technology to create value; 2. where will the enterprise invest to create value, and 3. how will the enterprise balance and communicate the knowledge created from technology investment? The discussion sets the scene for development of a case that includes the knowledge that creation of technology may be limited by the market/customer needs. The value of the content of the market basket of technology varies over time and that a mix of technologies to support multiple business options will drive positive financial contributions.

converted into weights using Rank Order Centroids, then re-aggregated across objectives to provide normative guidance for funding allocation. The second uses real options pricing theory to value R&D projects. Options methods treat decision flexibility and uncertainty in a manner more appropriate to R&D than NPV methods, providing a cost-effective tool for portfolio optimization.

The "operationalized solutions" learning from MATI I provided the context for the use of scenarios to anticipate discontinuities and developing roadmapping as a core process to deal with intellectual capital and technology leverage. However, creating the linkages (e.g. between Voice of the Customer and Enabling Technologies) is a political process. This political process requires addressing business strategies in the context of both technology and markets and the use of scenarios to deal with technology evolution. The resultant functional business model suggests a third wave, technology-intensive enterprise will be faced with an influx of knowledge and technology, acting as an innovation stimulus and creating a new, self-adaptive organization.

Lundquist with a discussion of Technology Transfer and the Value Chain (10 pages PDF) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/articles/techtransfer/tt_conception_to_delivery.pdfA model is proposed that integrates six phases of technology transfer into each step along the value chain form initial concept through manufacturing to products in customer hands. Management of each phase for each step leads to greater control, higher efficiency, and lower costs and frustration in the movement of technologies within product development. Indeed, the model leads to a true quality management system.

For this, a different kind of methodology is required, one that allows the researcher to look inside the "black box" of knowledge transfer and to generate theory that is grounded in what people inside organizations are thinking and doing. It looks inside the "box" of organizational learning and knowledge transfer to show contextually how an organizational routine and the process of transferring a technology from research and development (R&D) to a business unit operates in practice.

detail below, this research is able to ground the theories and concepts of knowledge and learning in what actually goes on in organizations. In 14 cases at four large companies, it may not be enough for organizational learning to take place if there is only an ability to absorb new knowledge and a high degree of comfort in doing so. Rather, supporters had to have the power and influence in the organization to make the knowledge flow happen, to overcome inertia. The paper shows how two critical, knowledge-intensive organizational routines (the technology roadmapping/planning process and the intra-company technology transfer process) operate in practice in multiple companies. It is based on a cross-case comparison at multiple firms.

To make these three concepts of ability, comfort and power more concrete, the study carries out an in-depth examination of each. It examines technology transfer as a management process (i.e., a repeated set of related activities) rather than as an event or as a strictly technical matter. However, rather than taking a reengineering approach of focusing on all of the specific tasks and various steps in the process, this study looks for central, underlying, theoretical elements of the process; i.e., what makes it "tick."

The main finding from this study is that, while the ability to absorb knowledge is important and has even received the bulk of attention in the organizational learning literature, this ability is not always enough for the process to work well. The problem occurs if project participants are too uncomfortable or if project supporters have too little power. Following an in-depth description of the three key ability, comfort and power elements of the technology transfer process, the study compares across eight MATI cases to see the effect that these had on the technology transfer outcomes.

TECHNOLOGY SOURCING, including Make vs Buy(Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

The initial focus of this interest group has been on benchmarking best practices and recognizing technology gaps. The make versus buy issue is being explored as part of a broader systems perspective with respect to technology sourcing. It is intended that technology sourcing be considered in relation to other organizational functions and processes including particularly strategic planning, portfolio management and roadmapping.

(TS1) Technology Sourcing Perspectives from Siemens-Westinghouse, Harry Morehead, Siemens-Westinghouse (11 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/Secure/source/Morehead_Siemens_Tsource_6_8_00.pdfPresents an overview of Siemens-Westinghouse (SWPC) particularly the Advanced Turbine System Technologies, details the process SWPC used to obtain and apply thermosonic imaging technology from Wayne State University, and identifies lessons learned about finding, licensing and further developing technology. Not evident in the slides but clear from discussion is the importance of personal relationships and internal championing in sourcing.

(TS2) Technology Sourcing at Kraft, Susan Gaud, Kraft (10 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/secure/source/Kraft_technology_sourcing.pptProvides an overview of technology sourcing needs and the approach in development at Kraft. Technology sourcing is growing in importance as the firm becomes more technology concerned. The presentation discusses the processes and strategies evolving in this area, in comparison with the approaches that have been used in the company, heretofore.

This paper discusses different options for technology sourcing following a strategic make-or-buy analysis. Selling, licensing-out, creating alliances, licensing-in and acquisitions are some of the possible options presented. Industrial cases are used to illustrate technology sourcing alternatives.

ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES(Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

The Intra-organizational task-force is working on such issues as: Enhancing the "voices" of customers and technology within the organization; achieving buy-in for MATI processes from upper management and key groups; forming appropriate working teams for roadmapping, scenario planning, etc.; integration with strategic, marketing and other processes; developing and achieving internal organizational standards including dealing with changes; defining the role and position of a "standards unit" and integrating standards thinking with other management processes; developing a taxonomy of variables in organization cultures and structures (culture, structure, knowledge) significantly impacting on technology management processes (product development, innovation, etc.).

(ORG1) Getting Buy-In for Roadmapping, Tom Kappel, Lucent (2 slides)http://mati.ncms.org/secure/notes/organization-notes/org_taskforce_projects.pptThere is sometimes trouble starting roadmapping in one part of the business or reviving it after it has stalled. This is discussed as a problem of at least two factors: buy-in and skills. The buy-in problem is proposed as a research topic with unique contributions to organizational behavior and practical deliverables to industry. A second proposed project involves the way corporate information is used (and ignored) by roadmap teams. Are the boxes and arrows we draw about information flow really true? See also organizational issues in Roadmapping section.

STANDARDS MANAGEMENT(Unless otherwise noted, “slides” are in Power Point, “pages” are in Word). To access documents, click on the link

Excellence in strategic global standards management, which cuts across many corporate functions and the technology and business value chain, has become a vital component of competitiveness but its tools, practices and training resources are highly under-developed. MATI, in collaboration with key industry and standards associations and players, is encouraging the development of this field and the practices and structures required to perform at the level needed.

(T&M2) Marketing with Pocket Protectors" (Technology Innovation in a Marketing-driven Firm), Dennis Braswell, Coca-Cola (16 slides), http://mati.ncms.org/secure/TechMgmt/MATI_BRASWELL_TALK.pptA marketing-driven company technology innovation can be found in the product, what the customer sees and touches and in infrastructure. At such companies, technology innovation generally comes in at the last two and so starts disadvantaged. In Coca-Cola, the main product is over 100 years old and not targeted for change. In a marketing driven company innovation implies: 1) focusing on new products (or features), selling channels, promotions, and advertisements, 2) no aroma of technology, 3) instant results - marketers then move on to the next thing (not, ostensibly, a recipe for technology), and 4) that trade puffery is OK, indeed, exalted.  Keys to technology success are credibility; understanding the business by knowing the company’s vision and how everyone contributes to it; getting out of the lab (what ís going on the street as well as in the world of technology; strong relationships and good communications; and being creative about technology sourcing.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The MATI focus in this area is on the strategic management and valuation of the intellectual property portfolio, IP roadmapping and related issues.

(IP1) Intellectual Property – Prerequisite Competence and Competitive Capabilities for the Next Millennium: A View from the Business Unit, John Peterson, Lucent (21 slides) http://mati.ncms.org/secure/TechMgmt/Peterson_IP.pptThis presentation describes in summary form the central components and functional requirements of an IP system of protection (patents, copyrights, etc.). The discussion allows discussion of the assessment, strategies and execution requirements that link IP strategy and innovation drivers and the resulting IP values, in terms of alignment, leverage and returns; the exhibits go on to show how these considerations play out in the corporate battle-space. The strategic importance of aligning strategy and the intellectual capital of the technology to be leveraged to produce corporate returns is also described. Such analysis can then be fed into the construction of IP and operational roadmaps.
