Innovation capacity and R&D strategies constitute a critical issue for business growth and value creation, especially for large companies dealing with their project portfolios and their ability to execute these.

Thus, the road to an efficient innovation model implies a number of challenges: the innovation portfolio, launch trajectories, product life cycle management, agile processes with ‘try and learn’ pilots or open innovation mechanisms.
