Workshop: Advanced R&D Purchasing
2015年9月24日
How to establish a successful R&D collaboration?
Today, companies increasingly develop advanced R&D collaborations with supply chain partners. At very early stages, innovative ideas, new technologies are investigated and tested through collaborative efforts.
The first survey of the EIPM Value Creation Observatory has highlighted that best performing companies involve their purchasing function in scouting for opportunities and establishing early stage collaborations with suppliers.
The purpose of the workshop is to investigate how this can be effectively performed.
We will investigate how purchasing teams:
- Identify unmet needs and promising ideas at early stages
- Scout the business environment for new opportunities and partners
- Establish and deliver advanced R&D collaboration with suppliers
- Share risks and benefits amongst players
- Run effective workshops with internal and external partners
- Engage with start-ups
- Address Intellectual Property issues
The agenda will include a combination of best practice presentations and interactive sessions to explore what is done across different industries.
As part of the interactive sessions, participants will be expected to share learnings from their own experience.
Speakers
Dr Hervé Legenvre – Research & MBA Programme Director at EIPM
Laurent Savelli – R&D and Innovation Procurement Director at STMicroelectronics
Loic Perret – Global Commodity Director at Schneider Electric
