Kalypso

Many leading innovative companies use roadmaps to visualize innovation efforts across the enterprise, allowing them to improve their planning processes and make informed decisions about the future. Through the process of strategic roadmapping, organizations can exchange up-to-date strategic planning information about new technologies, customer needs, market demands, supplier capabilities, and competitive information.

By adopting strategic roadmapping practices, companies can gain visibility into strategic planning efforts across multiple business units and obtain a collective truth about R&D capabilities, projects and resources across the organization.

The process of roadmapping can also help companies to discipline ad-hoc planning processes, improve communication across distributed teams, and help align cross-functional participants who need access to planning information as it dynamically changes. Many companies have achieved significant benefits through well-defined roadmapping processes, gaining the ability to:

• Achieve better insight into customer needs, market trends, and product requirements
• Improve cross-functional collaboration across multiple business units and departments
• Visualize the totality of innovation programs and initiatives across the enterprise
• Align R&D efforts to ensure new product plans reflect corporate strategy
• Achieve a single point of truth about company capabilities, projects, technologies, and resources
