  2. How will success or failure be measured?

  3. How do your measurements capture actionable Materials Science information for use in exceeding your customers expectations and securing your customers engagement?

  4. What is the estimated value of the project?

  5. What are the personnel training and qualifications required?

  6. What is the big Materials Science idea?

  7. How can you best use all of your knowledge repositories to enhance learning and sharing?

  8. Who, on the executive team or the board, has spoken to a customer recently?

  9. In the past few months, what is the smallest change you have made that has had the biggest positive result? What was it about that small change that produced the large return?

  10. How do you set Materials Science stretch targets and how do you get people to not only participate in setting these stretch targets but also that they strive to achieve these?

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose Materials Science projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
  • Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals
  • Integrate recent advances in Materials Science and put Process Design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Materials Science investments work better.

This Materials Science All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
