The B. Braun Innovations R&D Department is responsible for Idea harvesting, evaluation, concept development and risk reduction.I contribute to the department by performing Idea Reviews, Feasibility Reviews, Proof of Principle events and Technical Assignments.Idea Reviews require communication with contributors from all possible areas of the business. Once the Idea is understood, the alignment to company goals and our strategic vision is evaluated. If the threshold for acceptability is met, the Idea is passed on for a Feasibility Review.Feasibility Review requires a significantly deeper understanding of the potential benefits of implementing the new Idea. More detailed predictions are gathered from Marketing as well as input from representatives from Manufacturing, Financial, Quality and Regulatory Affairs. A report is generated then reviewed by a peer within the department.Proof of Principle events are intensive cross functional events that result in well vetted concepts ready for implementation.Technical Assignments are required when a project is in its implementation phase and requires a solution where my expertise and expereince can be applied.'Innovations' provides opportunities for me to communicate cross-functionally, lead teams, evaluate opportunities, requirements, and risks, utilize my creative problem solving talents and utilize concepts design systems such as SolidWorks, modeling clay, etc.
