Strategic Roadmapping for Technology Innovation
The Embedded Systems Institute offers a three day workshop on Strategic Roadmapping, together with the Cambridge Centre for Technology.
Roadmapping is a leading method for the strategic planning of future market and technology needs. It enables companies to align technological capabilities with product and business plans, such that company strategy and technology needs go hand-in-hand. Benefits are diverse and impacting:
- Ensure that key technologies will be ready on time;
- The exploration of new innovation opportunities;
- A supporting process to strategy and planning initiatives;
- The identification of important gaps in and between market, product and technology;
- Incentives for further market and technology intelligence;
- Buildup and facilitation of communication between technical and commercial functions.

Each company participates with a team that consists of three or five people, preferably with different backgrounds (commercial, application, technology, organization). Each team works together in applying the theory on their own business case.
