Structuring the Organisation to Deliver Results

"Back to the Future": Structuring the Organisation to Deliver Results, such is the challenge R&D Managers are facing.

The 2012 Representatives’ Round Table will discuss how R&D organisations deliver value across established and emerging business areas, and how they manage the complexity of innovation on an industrial scale.

PDF Programme and Registration

Summary

Creating an agile R&D organisation that can balance internal and external resources is a challenge that all organisations are facing today.

What key competences are needed now? Which will be needed in the future? Which can be bought as needed? Companies must be able to anticipate and respond to a constantly changing business environment.

The speakers will share their experiences of different models applied to diverse industries for structuring organisations, highlighting key successes and learnings where things did not go as planned.

Issues addressed

  • Innovative and profitable businesses and business models
  • Right innovation in a complex business environment
  • De-centralised versus centralised approaches
  • Organisational relationship between R&D and Innovation
  • Go beyond silos; choosing between internal SMEs or SBUs
  • Creating and sustaining competences to improve innovation capabilities
  • Improving working environment for R&D people
  • European approach to creativity reflected in R&D organisations

Target Audience

Senior R&D, Innovation, Technology Directors and Managers, but this Representatives’ Round Table is also an opportunity for senior R&D managers to bring “first line” managers.

Chairman

Dr. Léopold Demiddeleer, EIRMA President Senior Executive Vice President and General Manager Future Businesses, Solvay
