Curious about the fine line in R&D? Share your strategies for balancing innovation with feasibility.
People who work in R&D do so, out of passion - At least from what I have seen. And it’s easy to lose track of that practicality along the way, which is fine because R&D truly means “Research AND Development”. There are ways to solve this - Navigating the balance between creativity and practicality in diverse R&D projects requires a structured yet flexible approach. Start by setting clear project goals that address both innovative breakthroughs and realistic constraints, such as budget, timeline, and resources. Encourage creative brainstorming sessions where unconventional ideas can flourish, then apply critical analysis to assess their feasibility. Use a phased approach, where initial stages focus on exploring creative solutions :)
