Learn your most important value to your company so you can use it to your (and your company's!) advantage.
Which of these values you provide is the most important to your company?
- High intelligence
- Years of experience
- A good attitude
- Being an expert in your field
- Being productive
If you answered 5, Being productive, pat yourself on the back.
While all of these values are important to your company, the most important is that you be productive. Albert Einstein wouldn't be valuable to a company if he couldn't help to create revenue. His most brilliant work would not be valuable to any company unless it could be used to make or save money.
To be productive in R&D, you need to
- Answer the right questions -- questions that have business value. This is known as "being effective."
- Work efficiently. Wasted time and effort are costly.
- Communicate clearly in terms that everyone (not just your fellow engineers and scientists) can understand.
The ObDOE 7 Step Process for Experimentation addresses all of these. Following the process will make you more valuable to your company.
If you are intelligent, have years of experience, a good attitude, and are an expert in your field, being productive will make you the most valuable member of your R&D staff.
If you are missing any of the other values (or all of them!), being productive is still the most important value, giving you a crtical edge to avoid layoffs and receive promotions and raises.
