Framework for Evaluating Productivity of Innovation for R&D

In recent years, the value to customers has changed faster than ever due to the evolution of AI, such as LLM, and the proliferation of smartphones, and companies need to respond quickly to this change. Corporate R&D is no exception, and appropriate innovation management is essential. To instigate innovation, we extend the evaluation perspective of traditional software development projects, such as quality, cost and delivery to customer value and propose one example of indicators and frameworks for evaluating innovation activities. The performance of R&D organizations was evaluated based on actual data of FY2016. The results confirm the validity of the proposed methodology.
