SBIâs Training Approach
ï” To create and foster innovative R&BD culture and open innovation,
SBI has developed proven, practical framework and methodologies,
and standardized the processes and I/O formats, and transfer those
processes to its clients through training workshops.
ï” SBI hosts a customized training course (typically one day to two
weeks) at its world headquarters in Menlo Park, California, or a
clientâs site for approximately 15 - 40 executives and managers at a
time. The curriculum, based on SBIâs proven approaches, includes
the key elements of SBIâs R&BD Framework.
ï” SBI course facilitators, experienced in technology management and
commercialization, use a combination of lectures, case studies, and
breakout groups during the course.
ï” To address a clientâs specific needs, SBI develops and conducts
customized executive training courses based on its R&BD
framework. Trainees will learn through participating hands-on real
case exercises.

Case: Technology Roadmapping Process for
Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology
Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) developed more
than 40 technology roadmaps a year. Each of those roadmaps was
developed by key R&D staff of each of its R&D programs using
different processes and formats. Although they had communication
with their R&D sponsors, Samsungâs business units, there were
little collaboration and coordination among its R&D staff in different
R&D programs at SAIT.
SAITâs CTO office wanted to standardize its technology planning
and roadmapping process and format. SAIT also wanted to train its
CTO staff to become masters of new SAITâs technology
roadmapping process, so they could assist its R&D staff to develop
their technology roadmaps. Ultimate goal of SAIT was to establish
its own technology roadmap program in SAIT like the 6-Sigma
Program.

Case: Opportunity Discovery Process for LG
Chem
LG Chem wanted to identify new research topics for its display R&D
program in display material areas, especially advanced materials
for LCD and PDP applications. LG Chem was not sure what would
be the next-generation flat panel displays. In LG Group, LG Display
involves in LCD panel and CRT businesses, and LG Electronics
involves PDP panel business as well as consumer electronic
devices such as TV, PC, Notebook PC, and cellular phones.
LG Chem wanted new research topics of advanced display
materials that should be aligned to both LG Display and LGE flat
panel display R&D strategies. To do this, LG Chem R&D decided to
work together with both LG Displayâs R&D and LGEâs R&D teams.
They needed a common language and process to identify research
topics and to share and communicate those ideas each other.

Case: Technology Commercialization
Management and Processes for ETRI and ITRI
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) of Korea
wanted to establish a mechanism to commercialize its technologies:
ï” Assess the current status of ETRIâs technology commercialization management
ï” Develop a technology commercialization process
ï” Design an organization for technology commercialization
ï” Develop a business model including fund raising and profit sharing
ï” Train key staff a new technology commercialization management process.
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan asked to improve its
infrastructure and processes for technology commercialization management:
ï” Review ITRIâs existing system for IP business, including IP management,
licensing, spin-offs, and JVs, and benchmark with other institutes internationally
ï” Conduct a commercialization management diagnostic, identify key issues to
improve, and to conduct a benchmark study
ï” Develop an improved IP business system, including changes to ITRIâs
organization, processes, performance metrics, and incentive programs.

SBIâs Typical Process of Technology
Management System Implementation
Stepâ1: Understand a clientâs needs, objectives, resources, and issues
Step-2: Conduct a technology management diagnostic to assess the
current status and capabilities, to identify key issues, and to make
recommendations to resolve the identified key issues
Step-3: Conduct a benchmark study to identify the gaps of the key issues
to technology leaders and to develop a plan to resolve the
identified key issues
Step-4: Customize a technology management process/system and develop
a draft manual based on the clientâs goals and resources, the
technology management diagnostic, and the benchmark study
Step-5: Conduct a pilot project as the first step of implementation of the
new process/system
Step-6: Revise the manual as needed based on the pilot project results
Step-7: Train the clientâs key staff using the manual and the pilot project
example
