Testimonials
CIBA Specialty Chemicals
"It was very interesting to compare Ciba Specialty Chemicals’ advanced R&D program with other quality programs. Input from participants on their own R&D effectiveness, use of performance metrics, approach to managing and promoting technology platforms and managing R&D processes were all quite helpful. There were a number of valuable take away ideas from the assembled group of R&D professionals. We know the role R&D plays in providing differentiating opportunities. It was heartening to participate in a workshop where today’s hot R&D topics were so capably focused."
