How do the approaches differ for securing and preserving IP between Research, Development, Design and Production in an organisation?
I am not referring to IP security in the sense of protecting it from external threats, but rather internal threats such as the phenomenon of islands/silos of knowledge and the challenge of retaining the knowledge generated when the scientists and engineers move on.
I understand that for design phase to production information is generally more formalised and that Configuration Management can be applied in these phases. I do suspect, though, that working with scientists requires a different approach.
Any insights to share?
