How do we manage our Research & Development to achieve our goals?

Research and Development is sometimes seen as an art and its practitioners are often unaware of how to manage the process effectively. Effective management of R&D projects, keeping to budgets, timeframes and outcomes, is a skill that can be built up with experience. If multiple projects are involved, the portfolio must be managed as a separate entity.

We can help you with:

• Developing R&D investment proposals
• Preparing project plans
• Leading or managing R&D projects – multidisciplinary teams are our forte
• Training staff in R&D project planning and management
• Contributing technical resources to a project
• Outsourcing part or all of a project
• Intellectual property strategies
• R&D portfolio planning and management

Mark Loeffen & Associates staff have more than 20 years’ experience in the management of R&D projects and portfolios, and have directly or indirectly managed over 100 man years of R&D. Projects have spanned most of the science and engineering disciplines across a range of industries with extensive experience in the biological industries. You can access all that experience and make it work for you, allowing your company to do what it does best to achieve a successful outcome.
