From Signals to Strategy: Strengthening Research & Development (R&D) Portfolio Decisions

The pressure to commit to transformative investments in AI-enabled discovery, advanced materials, electrification, automation, and next-generation platforms continues to intensify across Research & Development (R&D) functions.

Join us for an insightful webinar, led by Everest Group’s Vinay Venkatesan, Research Director, and Jillian Walker, Vice President, as they outline structured approaches for developing a coherent view of the future, and how to use that perspective to guide strategic, defensible R&D portfolio commitments.

Whether your focus is life sciences, advanced manufacturing, aerospace and defense, energy, digital platforms or others, multiple factors – evolving regulations, tighter capital scrutiny, and more – are increasing the burden for R&D leaders to translate emerging signals and data into confident strategy and action.

The questions we will answer

• How can R&D leaders move from fragmented signals to a coherent view of the future shaping their organization?
• Why do R&D functions hesitate to commit under uncertainty, and how can that hesitation be addressed?
• How can R&D and innovation leaders strengthen the basis for long-term strategic decisions in an evolving environment?
