Leadership-focused coaching: An uplifting approach for supporting aspiring leaders
No full textEducational leadership professors prepare aspiring leaders by providing uplifting opportunities to connect theory and practice. This paper proposes a research-based model called leadership-focused coaching, an approach to support graduate students in developing and honing instructional leadership skills and responsibilities (Gray, 2016). This paper addresses the shift in principal preparation programs from theory-to-practice to a knowledge-to-practice approach over the last 20 years (Browne-Ferrigno, 2007; Browne-Ferrigno & Muth, 2004; Cunningham, 2007; Cunningham & Sherman, 2008; Daresh, 2004). While there are numerous models for coaching teachers, we offer this model for aspiring and new instructional leaders of schools.

Optimized complex signals for Eddy Current Testing
No full textThe choice of optimized excitation devices and strategies is now interesting recent studies about Non Destructive Eddy Current Testing (ND-ECT). Recently, the attention has been paid to the use of complex excitation signals, meant as signals different from the sinusoidal ones and with wide frequency content. In particular, some studies have highlighted their suitability, respect to the sinusoidal one, in supporting the measurement, detection and quantification stages when 'difficult cases' are explored (i.e. very short or annealed cracks). Generally, two class of signal have been proposed in literature. They concern with signals that have to be analysed in the time domain and signals analysed in transformed domains. The former class is represented by signal as the pulsed or pseudo-noise, while the latter contains signal as the chirp or multi-frequency as the best candidate. The author have placed their attention to this second class of signal and in this paper they propose an experimental comparison among different realization of these excitation signals suitably designed to improve the quality of experimental data when difficult cases are experienced
50+ years of R&D Management: a retrospective synthesis and new research trajectories
No full textIn 2020, R&D Management celebrated 50 years of publication. The present study honors that milestone by conducting a retrospective examination of the research conducted in the journal over time and reflects on its rich history to look forward in the R&D management field. Using bibliometric techniques, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the journal’s most prominent topics and themes, as well as its most prolific authors, institutions, and countries.
The findings indicate that R&D Management has increased its productivity and reputation as measured by the number of published articles and citations per year and expanded its
international reach from the initial European-dominated
author base. We complement this analysis by performing an in-depth systematic literature review of the most frequently cited
papers –annually and of all time –to disentangle the themes and concepts that prominently shaped the progress of the discipline itself. The results suggest that R&D Management has
progressively widened its field of investigation from an intra-organizational perspective (1970–1992) to an inter-organizational
view (1992–2006) and then to an extra-organizational outlook (2006–2018).
Finally, based on this history and viewing the contributions from 2019 onwards, we identify an emerging set of research trajectories that we expect will pave the way for the future impact of R&D Management and the field at large

Envisioning the future client-consultant relationship
No full textThe consulting industry is at the forefront of disruption (Parakala, 2015). Agile, more digital-driven competitors enter the consulting market (Nissen, 2017a, p. 33). Furthermore, clients are becoming more digital and seek more digital and agile consulting services. The company of this project, a professional service network, is part of this changing market. To answer to the changing client needs and to stay competitive, they need to rethink their way of their ‘traditional personnel-intensive ‘face-to-face’ delivery model of consulting’ (Bieler, 2017). And thus, they need to re-design their client relationship that serves the changing demands of their clients. An in-house product of this professional service network focuses on bringing their client relationship into the digital age. This project aims to deliver a product positioning and strategy for this in-house product to support the future client relationship. The project approach is both systemic (Jones, 2020) and iterative. This means the author has a system view on the future client relationship integrating multiple factors that are influencing this system. Furthermore, the author has committed to an iterative design approach involving company stakeholders throughout the research and design phases with the use of co-reflection (Yukawa, 2006). Thorough research on the future of consulting, in addition to internal interviews and three different co-reflection sessions with multiple stakeholders have lead to a design for a future client relationship: The future client relationship will be humanly digital. A relationship that is characterized by co-created touch-points and a digital infrastructure that facilitates the people of the firm to use their knowledge and experience to offer clients personalized services. Three different digital experiences are driving this humanly digital relationship: pro-active selling solutions, interactive project experiences and digital business solutions. Design reflection sessions with internal stakeholders suggest: the product should facilitate these three digital experiences and should be positioned as a client-experience expert. This project gives a view on a potential future for the digital client relationship. Moreover, it provides the client of this project with a strategy and future vision on how to position their in-house product in the future.Strategic Product Desig
Unlocking lean innovation at large: Analyzing the success factors of internal lean ventures within large enterprises
No full textToday’s market environment is characterized by increasing competition. This competition forces incumbents to innovate if they want to sustain their competitive advantage. Large enterprises start to adopt methodologies pioneered within the startup world, like the lean startup methodology, the innovate. The adoption of this methodology has proven to be difficult, and incumbents face a lack of control with regards to these ventures. The practical objective of this thesis is to enable large enterprises to control and steer internal lean ventures (ventures following the lean startup methodology) effectively. The theoretical objective is to bridge the knowledge gap concerning the understanding of internal venturing and the application of the lean startup methodology in large enterprises. To reach the objective, a case study within a large enterprise was conducted to answer the research question and reach the research objective. 16 in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders were conducted to collect data. Finally, the results were validated through relevant literature and by comparison to the results of six additional interviews, conducted with two other large enterprises. The study found that two elements influence the success of the venturing process: First, the implementation of the venturing process itself (Section 5.1). Especially the alignment and coordination of different stakeholders as well as the quality of the employed metrics. Secondly, a set of additional factors arising from the context in which the process is embedded (Section 5.2). This context is made up of the mindset and culture of the company, the organizational environment as well as the quality of its adoption of the lean startup methodology. The analysis of resulted in the identification of the five recommendations to improve internal lean venturing within large enterprises. Details can be found in Section 5.4. In conclusion, implementing the lean startup methodology can help navigate this uncertainty surrounding innovation. This implementation requires reliable metrics, company-wide alignment, and the commitment to the methodology. Additional to the implementation, company and industry specific factors mediate the success of a venturing initiative. Large enterprises are advised to take an honest self-assessment and follow a searching and learning approach to iteratively and successfully optimize their process for maximal venturing success.Management of Technology (MoT
StimTrack: An open-source software for manual transcranial magnetic stimulation coil positioning
No full textBackground: During Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) experiments researchers often use a neuronavigation system to precisely and accurately maintain coil position and orientation. New method: This study aimed to develop and validate an open-source software for TMS coil navigation. StimTrack uses an optical tracker and an intuitive user interface to facilitate the maintenance of position and orientation of any type of coil within and between sessions. Additionally, online access to navigation data is provided, hereby adding e.g. the ability to start or stop the magnetic stimulator depending on the distance to target or the variation of the orientation angles. Results: StimTrack allows repeatable repositioning of the coil within 0.7 mm for translation and 0.9) was obtained on all parameters computed on SR curves acquired using StimTrack. Comparison with existing method: StimTrack showed a target accuracy similar to that of a commercial neuronavigation system (BrainSight, Rogue Research Inc.). Indeed, small differences both in position (∼0.2 mm) and orientation (<1°) were found between the systems. These differences are negligible given the human error involved in landmarks registration. Conclusions: StimTrack, available as supplementary material, is found to be a good alternative for commercial neuronavigation systems facilitating assessment changes in corticospinal excitability using TMS. StimTrack allows researchers to tailor its functionality to their specific needs, providing added value that benefits experimental procedures and improves data quality
