Research Projects Interests

Peter is engaged in research directed at: 
  • Optimizing the Front End of Innovation and determining the most effective practices in the Front End. The New Concept Development model, developed with 13 other companies, is being adopted by industry as a theoretical construct for understanding the front end. Peter is also actively working with Cabot, Dow Corning, Ethicon, ExxonMobil, International Flavors and Fragrances, Rohm and Haas, Valvoline and WelchAllyn under a project funded through the National Science Foundation under the auspices of the Industrial Research Institute to determine the most effective practices in the front end utilized by “Best in Class” companies. 
  • Determining approaches and organizational structures (i.e. processes, people, strategies, sponsorship, knowledge management, etc.) on how companies manage breakthrough opportunities. Co-directing an Industrial Research Institute Research on Research project focused on understanding and finding solutions to Breakthrough Innovation Dilemma’s that large companies encounter.
