<p>R&amp;D work is often carried out in entrepreneurial companies with the aim of developing solutions to scientific or technological problems for a wide range of customers. Projects can include longer term 'frontiers of science' research, medium term product development/manufacturing or more immediate troubleshooting or contract research assignments.</p><p>In all these contexts, the ability to create innovative solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner is the essence of successful R&amp;D. Whilst R&amp;D groups typically excel in technical expertise, those involved often recognise that there is scope for improving the way that projects are managed. The aim of this training programme is to address this need whilst ensuring that the creative, entrepreneurial spirit that is fundamental to good R&amp;D continues to flourish.</p><section>
