Abstract: The main goal of this article is to present the strategic approach taken by INO, a private non-profit R&D center, to address its challenges like funding sustainability, alignment to industry needs, rapidity of development and ability to innovate. The implementation of a matrix structure including a classical project management approach is described in details. Issues and strategies deployed during the change period will be discussed. Finally, results achieved after a 2-year period have proven that INO is now better aligned to face some aspects of today’s R&D reality.
