23. Discussion Points
SIMRAC Committee should identify opportunities  From Determination and during Delivery
Innovation should be problem-driven. Not idea-driven. An idea without a problem is only an idea, and not an opportunity…
If research projects are expected to include market/feasibility/commercialisation studies, this needs to be defined in the Project TORs (as well as the associated skills required). Typically, technical researchers are not skilled at these types of studies – specify additional experts required.
In technology development/R&D, failure is a measure of success. Fail fast, early and cheaply.
