- 13. Innovation Organisation R&D policy is coordinated by the CTO office, is implemented through: - The Divisons: business focus and in charge of the short and medium term developments required for their equipment and systems product lines - KTD governance with the goal the provide the global R&T coherence, and transfer research results to programs - The TRT network: They anticipate future breakthroughs, establish connections to academic innovation eco-systems, and should maintain high level of expertise in key technologies Thales R&D is largely decentralized Corporate R&T Laboratory is highly focused on external coolaborations 13
- 14. Cooperation Strategy Cooperation actions: Long term scientific agreements most famous research laboratories Cooperation with other industrial labs Cooperation with technological SMEs Demonstration platforms build with partners and clients Cooperation framework: Common laboratories, Common programs and projects Research contracts Joint-ventures More than 400 people are currently working for Thales in these cooperative framework programs 14
- 15. Innovation Strategy R&D corporate mission: Competitiveness: Give a proper access to key critical technologies, Control of the supply chain Adapt development process for the complexity we have to deal with Attractiveness: Innovate Look for disruptive technologies Look for disruptive ways to design, develop, integrate solutions 15
- 16. Innovation Strategy Four R&D Strategic Directions: Open Innovation Acceleration of the Insertion of New Technologies Anticipation of Ruptures – not only technical ones Efficiency Optimization 16
- 17. Thales Group: InnovationStrategy Open Innovation - A number of innovations will be discovered in other places - Fosters collaborations with universities, research institutes, SMEs and suppliers - Participation on competitiveness cluster and European collaborative projects - High visibility in scientific community - Attract young and brilliant engineers The concept of “innovation” ecosystem, local and global, is hence central to Thales R&D strategy 17
- 18. Innovation Strategy Acceleration of the Insertion of New Technologies - Key Technical Domains (KTD) is a commonly shared governance of technical activities performed in Divisions and in the central teams - Ensure global coherence of advanced R&T studies: optimize, rationalize resources, share results, set common strategic directions - Accelerate de-risk transfer of R&D results towards programs . Hardware Security Processing, Control Networks &Secure and Cognition Communications Software & Critical Information Systems 18
- 19. Innovation Strategy Anticipation of Ruptures – not only technical ones - Technical Strategy Plan (TSP) provides the technical visions and road-maps for the next 10 years - The vision can’t be only internal: capture the customer’s needs - Concept Development and Experimentation Approach (CD&E): Battlespace Transformation Center, it is in way a co-innovation process with the customer - Study on general trends for the evolution of our technical skills: business model evolution, technology evolution, supply chain, development tools, partnerships, etc - Training programs, mobility actions and targeted recruitments 19
- 20. Innovation Strategy Efficiency Optimization R&D engineering efficiency optimization through three levers: - Strengthening a coherent and efficient “design authority” organization through out the Group - Facilitate peer engineering, reviews in order to get a strong early warning approach on bids and programs - Improve competitiveness and risk management of our development through a common tooled process approached, called Orchestra 20
