Appreciating NASA's roadmap visualizations: A source of inspiration for strategic technology and innovation management professionals
Dr. Clive Kerr
Centre for Technology Management, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Abstract
Technology roadmapping is a widespread practice across many industries. The main appeal of the approach is the visual nature of the roadmaps, which are created for the purposes of presentation and onward communication. However, it is often not so easy to develop an engaging and insightful visualization. When the question of what might good look like arises in discussions, examples produced by NASA are a primary source of inspiration. Over the decades, NASA has designed notable visual depictions and underlying representations. This talk will showcase the rich history of roadmap visualizations created by NASA and highlight unique formats, several of which are considered to be first-of-their-kind visualizations. Such examples readily offer themselves as convenient and useful templates for other organizations to adopt/adapt when developing their own roadmaps.
