The Project Value Tracking Process

So far, many innovation organizations steer their activities on a cost base in lieu of quantitative measures for the business effect of the technology transfer. T Labs has found a method to quantify the economic effect of its research and innovation results. A parallel process focused on the measurement of the value contributions of innovation projects accompanies projects during their execution and transfer phase. The value tracking process allows getting an accurate picture not only about the economic value of the successfully transferred results but also about the take-up of every single result of the R&D project portfolio in the operational unit. Value tracking has shaped Deutsche Telekom Laboratories even more towards a result oriented and resource efficient research and innovation unit.
