Management and strategy for technology and innovation

An introduction to the essential tools needed to manage the R&D process successfully, drawing on time-tested, evidence-based approaches from Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) experts.

In today’s competitive environment, companies need to ensure that R&D activities turn into successful products, processes and services which deliver significant value. The IfM’s established technology and innovation management approaches can help you to see this through to success.

The unique aspect of this course is the interaction between the module leaders from the IfM with the delegates who attend from different disciplines, opening up cross-industry perspectives on shared management challenges. You will network and learn directly from leading IfM researchers, as well as with your fellow learners from different industries and backgrounds.

Each module is led by an IfM expert who brings with them both academic and applied experience from their respective discipline. The module topics are brought to life through a mix of lectures, discussions, cases and practical group activities.

This course is suitable for:

  • Technology and innovation professionals moving (or aspiring to move) into managerial roles
  • Managers at all stages of product realisation, from R&D to customer support
  • Technologists, strategic planners and consultants
