Creating value from Transversality in Decentralized R&D Organisations

20.09.2011

11th February 2011, Villa Modigliani, Paris

Summary

Look at strategic and practical issues regarding the problem of balancing transversal synergies, assuring coherence and ensuring ownership for overarching corporate challenges. Understand how R&D is organised centrally and in relation to different business units and where it is possible to optimise the value.
These issues are very relevant to larger corporations where there is a trend to decentralize R&D into different business units.

Issues addressed

• Explore ways to get people work together transversely and how to reduce frustration in transversal projects where everyone does not share the same operating models;
• Identify transversal needs and how to share a common goal with different objectives for each stakeholder;
• Compare the models to organise for such transversal synergies while maintaining the advantage of a decentralised business-oriented R&D;
• Look at ways to maximise the value of potential synergies and how to share competences.
• Discuss the impact of company’s historical evolution (e.g. M&A) and organisational culture in facilitating transversality.
