How Researchers Can Better Influence Corporate Results

About the Course:

Understanding how to reap maximum performance from researchers is critical to achieving corporate success. There is tremendous leverage in researchers’ efforts: Approximately 10% of a company’s revenue is directed to Research and Development. According to Booz Allen Hamilton, only 15% of R&D expenses are directed to research. Thus, investments representing less than 2% of a company’s revenue–to a large extent–determine a company’s future performance.

Companies must understand how to task, motivate, and incentivize their researchers. The most successful organizations must create cultures of innovation and engender behavioral shifts that will usher in a sustainable stream of innovation.
