TechNZ manages the business investments of The Foundation for Research, Science and Technology. They recently ran a series of workshops around New Zealand called Survive and Thrive Through Innovation. For the workshop they created a very handy booklet which helps companies to prioritise R&D projects. The "Survive and Thrive Through Innovation" workbook explains a six step process to research and development that will help you clarify ideas, establish which are viable and show you what is needed to become more innovative.
