R&D Leaders: Promote and Secure the Right Investments for Growth

Growth is the top priority for CEOs in 2025, yet many R&D leaders struggle to clearly articulate how their vision, investments, and activities will drive this outcome. To succeed in their role, it is crucial for R&D leaders to create and adapt their value stories to the CEO with purpose and clarity. Without this, misunderstandings about the role of R&D can occur, potentially leading to a reduction in investment. With 70% of R&D leaders reporting their portfolios as out of balance in terms of risk, value, and time horizon today, avoiding portfolio and investment decisions that jeopardize growth goals requires immediate attention.
