Innovation review with input from Legal, Marketing, and Research (R&D) functions is one of the strongest value drivers in the IP world. The combination of perspectives gives a 3D picture that helps decision-makers see the underlying value and often focuses attention on potential issues sooner, while there’s still time to adjust plans. Equally importantly, team-members benefit from observing how other functions view the same situation. For example, R&D and Legal may be excited about a technical solution that Marketers just don’t see as a viable offering for customers. With enough interaction, team-members will begin to anticipate other functions’ concerns, leading to stronger presentations and ultimately faster consensus on next steps. In my experience, closer communication with Marketing in addition to R&D was a game-changer for delivering meaningful results.
