Streamline Your R&D ideation process and prioritize roadmaps with ProgramPulse

Revolutionizing R&D management and innovation

As Europe’s biggest independent consulting firm, it is at the core of our business to deliver big and complex projects with diverse teams for the world's most successful companies. Including those for which the Research and Development department is at the heart and essential for the organizations' success. From those clients we learned everything about the processes and the challenges which come along with them. Our key to those clients’ success? A specific customization of our ProgramPulse tool. 

Program Pulse for R&D becomes the central tool for R&D management and their stakeholders. The place to document, monitor, control, analyze, adjust, and report on all levels and areas of innovation. Built as a Microsoft Power App, we don’t add another software to the tech stack, we actually reduce it, by replacing commonly used applications such as Excel, PowerPoint and so on. Natively integrating with your existing Microsoft 365 environment, your R&D team and decision makers can collaborate on R&D projects using the power of Microsoft Apps like Team and SharePoint, with ProgramPulse connecting the dots and improving your key performance indicators. 

Being a Low-Code tool, Program Pulse is easily setup according to your department’s requirements and R&D Managers and other project team members can use it without any help from IT.

After implementing the proposed measures, several common results can be expected:

Increase innovation:

Firstly, there will be an increase in innovation as the organization empowers its R&D teams to unleash their full potential. This approach will cultivate a culture of innovation, encouraging team members to generate ideas and explore new possibilities.

Optimize resource allocation:

Another significant outcome is the optimization of resource allocation. By prioritizing projects based on their strategic value, the organization can efficiently allocate its resources. This approach minimizes waste and maximizes return on investment (ROI), ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Enhance collaboration:

Furthermore, the implementation will enhance collaboration within the organization. It will facilitate the sharing of knowledge and ideas among team members, fostering cross-functional cooperation. This collaborative environment will ultimately enhance overall productivity, as individuals work together towards common goals.

Improve decision-making:

Additionally, the organization can expect improved decision-making processes. By adopting a data-driven approach, uncertainty is reduced, and the success rate of R&D initiatives is improved. Leveraging data and insights allows for more informed decision-making, enabling the organization to make strategic choices with confidence.

In summary, the implementation of these measures will lead to increased innovation, optimized resource allocation, enhanced collaboration, and improved decision-making. These outcomes will contribute to the overall growth and success of the organization.
