Course Description:
This course will expose SBIR researchers and graduate students to technology commercialization best practices that are utilized to develop breakthrough innovative products. The main focus is to provide technology readiness and technology commercialization tools and metrics to effectively execute the end-to-end product delivery process. A key technology commercialization tool, for achieving best in class quality, schedule, cost and creating customer value, is the Time to Market (TTM) process. Effective TTM metrics management, TTM execution and TTM best-in-class-case studies will be presented. The course is arranged into two key technology commercialization categories: market attack planning and technology readiness/staging for commercialization.


Specific TTM Topics:
  • Integrated New Product Development Process – The TTM Process,
  • Market, product strategy, vision for commercializing disruptive technologies – Elements of the Market Attack Plan (MAP)
  • Technology maturity and technology commercialization best practices
  • Technology transfer best practices for extending the R&D enterprise
  • Protecting the business case - overview of strategies to build a patent portfolio
  • Technology transfer and technology commercialization case studies
