This was a true passion in my early career for those years. Working within global R&D was a perfect education and foundation for the later positions. Main learnings in big picture:- Real customer need and market opportunity are the key business drivers and reason to get fast results (PM's must have skill is to be able to translate business language to R&D jargon and vice versa)- Traditional R&D transformation from waterfall to mixed agile and waterfall- R&D process development- Leading and building diverse project teams in various R&D locations all over the world- Managing project portfolios and manage budgets- People leadership - How to utilise soft skills to create best possible working environment for everyone in the teamHighlights:- Living in the Netherlands; leading R&D unit in NL and implementing global R&D processes- Many products were launched, some of them are still in market and can be spotted next to / inside elevators globallyKnowledge gained within R&D years:- I've been privileged to learn how the big machine works behind the scenes of large corporation. - Being involved in all phases on the way to get products and services launched, has taught me the wide scope of how any business works. This knowledge can be applied to any company, from large to small business. - Product development phases consisted of product design, procurement, piloting, marketing, sales, ordering, manufacturing, quality, documentation, delivery, maintenance, environmental impact/recycling, pricing, material structure, product retirement, etc. Show less
