Assessment of proposed and ongoing Research and Development

Today's Research and Development
Futurmatix provides research and development programme evaluation and review services for commercial organisations, and for national and international research funding bodies. It is crucial that when an organisation recieves proposals for research work either externally or internally, such proposals are effectively and impartially evaluated for the level of innovation proposed, the technical feasibility, the appropriate balance of research vs development and integration, the soundness of the project team or consortium, the proposed management of the research, and the nature of the dissemination and exploitation of the research results.
In addition, cross-project data analysis can provide very useful information for an organisation's policymakers, allowing them to take decisions on behalf of the stakeholders in the business (other corporate divisions, shareholders or he public), and to provide input to strategy formulation and future decision making.
In addition to this, independent review of ongoing research is also very important, in providing a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the potential 'value' of the research with respect to original project goals, and the current market conditions. Such a technical and business review helps to steer ongoing projects by recommending corrective courses of actions, and can also help to identify projects that are not going to achieve the original stated goals, offering a mechanism for scaling back, redirecting or indeed cancelling a given project or project work item.
