Delivering value from R&D

PA Consulting Group is highly experienced in helping clients develop and deploy the technology that helps their business succeed. That includes helping companies both to build and manage their existing technology portfolios, and to help them develop new products and services.

For example, we helped GN ReSound halve the time to market for its innovative hearing instruments.

Technology and research and development (R&D) are vital to the economy and receive significant investment from both private companies and governments. Yet realising the value from that investment can be difficult.

Our expertise supports clients in four main areas:

Technology strategy: businesses need to understand which technologies will affect their current and future competitiveness. We use our extensive knowledge of the technology sector to identify future market directions. We can then help clients capitalise on new opportunities or offset the threats of significant change.
R&D performance transformation: PA has the expertise to support organisations in making major improvements in the performance of their R&D or new product development. Our rigorous approach leads to reduced time to market and enhanced product quality.
Sourced, shared and managed R&D Services: R&D organisations are facing pressures to develop ever more radical, value-based commercial propositions. These range from outsourced management of non-core R&D services to transforming an R&D function to a shared service. We use our extensive knowledge of the sourcing sector to help clients secure the best value from these approaches.
R&D portfolio and programme management: our technology, product development and market experience means we ensure clients manage their R&D portfolios in way that maximises value. Equally, our programme management expertise helps guide the investment and resourcing decisions to support effective programme delivery.
