What do Hardware and Software Roadmaps have in common?

Season 1 - Episode 35 is our latest instalment, in this one I interview Rob Phaal.

Dr Robert Phaal is a Director of Research in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, where he conducts research in strategic technology and innovation management. Interests focus on industrial emergence and the development of practical management tools and visual methods for supporting technology intensive innovation.

A particular focus over the past 20 years has been the roadmapping approach, exploring the generalisation and efficient application of this and related techniques in many sectors and contexts. Rob has a mechanical engineering background, with a PhD in computational mechanics, and industrial experience in technical consulting, contract research and software development.

Some of the best roadmaps are on the wall all the time where people naturally gravitate when they have a strategic discussion
