IfM Engage’s approach to roadmapping is unique in two significant areas. Firstly, we blend consultancy, training and mentoring depending on project requirements to build our client’s capability and expertise. Secondly, our approach is built on a foundation of University of Cambridge research, so as new findings emerge, we integrate them into our toolkit to ensure our approach remains world-leading.

ROADMAPPING CONSULTANCY BENEFITS

There are several benefits to roadmapping consultancy, workshops and training programmes:

Bring stakeholders together to develop a shared vision.

Create a strategic plan based on input from all the relevant stakeholders.

Ensure investment in R&D and all technology and innovation planning is aligned with strategic goals.

Improve communication by providing clear, straightforward outputs.

HOW WE INTRODUCE ROADMAPPING IN YOUR ORGANISATION

One of our experienced industrial associates will work with you to design the roadmapping architecture and customise the process so it meets your organisation’s particular needs. While strategic technology planning is often the main objective, IfM’s robust methodology means that the focus can be easily shifted to, say, resource or capability planning. The industrial associate will then facilitate the workshop(s) and deliver the roadmap findings.

The process is extremely flexible. It works with both small and large groups and can deal with a very broad range of issues over long time frames, while also being able to focus on critical details which result in decisions and actions. It can also be adapted to meet the particular needs of each organisation, so the focus could be on resource or capability planning.

Our fast-start roadmapping tools can develop an initial roadmap in a one-day workshop, with results delivered within a few weeks. More wide-ranging roadmaps, such as those for industry sectors, usually take a number of workshops run over several months.

SCALABLE TOOLKIT PLATFORM

Roadmapping is often used in conjunction with one or more of the IfM’s other tools such as portfolio management, technology assessment, scenario planning and make-or-buy, helping to bring new insights and perspectives.
