Staging, managing and steering mechanisms for Research & Innovation Projects

• A Stage Gate process and evaluation criteria for Research & Innovation projects were the basis for IT-tool implementation
• Definition of portfolio dashboards for a transparent Research & Innovation portfolio to generate insights and allow portfolio steering
• Pilots in different units showed opportunities and strengths of the new mechanisms
• Management communication and change management material enabled full support throughout the organization
• Actual implementation of the new framework led to a significant step up in efficiency of Research related management processes

„The Unity team has done an excellent job in building up our portfolio management and supporting us throughout the implementation journey.”
