Cisco Technology Radar to accelerate innovation
Cisco’s Technology Radar streamlines technology management, helping Cisco stay ahead in a dynamic global market through structured innovation foresight.
Use caseTechnology management
Fund technologies that mature in time
A new technology takes ten years from lab to product. Overfund ones that stall, and every system waiting for it slips too. Track each technology from weak signal to production, assess TRL and fit, and shift budget while a correction is still affordable.
See the competing technology before it outpaces
The technology that threatens yours is at TRL 3 in a lab today. Prism scans publications, patents, and startup activity in your fields. You see it while your own program can still respond, not when it reaches a competitor's system.

Decide develop, buy, or partner on evidence
Internal programs compete with supplier tech, research spin-offs, and startups for the same budget. Score every option on TRL, strategic fit, and integration effort. The develop-or-buy call holds up in the portfolio review.

Time the handover from lab to system
Every technology on your roadmap has a qualification date a system depends on. Map each one from research to system integration with owners and dependencies. When a technology delays, you see which systems delay with it.

Show leadership the tech portfolio in real-time
TRL statements age between gate reviews. Give leadership a live view of maturity, spend, and risk per technology field. When the board asks which technology projects are on track, the answer is current.
Communicate your technology strategy openly
A technology strategy in a PDF gets read once. An interactive radar is used daily. Engineers check it before starting parallel work. Leadership uses it in reviews. Partners see where you are heading. Elia Group runs theirs in the open.
