About the Katibeh
The Katibeh is the master document to regulate most of the proceeding internal and external processes at the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre. The intention is to create a single source of reference for decision-making concerning the management of the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre. The document will be revised and completed constantly over time with feedback received from the implementation of planned policies.

Methodology
To write the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre R&D strategy plan, we follow a three-stage process comprising Conceptual, Strategic, and Operational tiers. This process is illustrated in Figure 1. In the figure, the lines represent the flow of information across the stages and action sets. Dashed lines represent conceptual, and solid lines represent functional causalities.
In the Conceptual layer, the chief objective is to determine the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre Vision Statement and any supplementary principles we wish to amend to the company's core values. Since the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre is a subsidiary of Hezardastan holding, the Vision Statement, and Phanous Research and Innovation Centre Values should be inspired from and consistent with the holding core values.
In the Strategic layer,we consider the mission through which we can realize our longer-term vision and then break this down into a set of objectives, when delivered in culmination, lead to the fulfillment of our mission in the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre. We will also ask ourselves what we consider to be the primary purposes of this R&D strategy plan in the short-term and longer-term future of the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre.
In the Operational layer, we shall identify the major risks associated with the operations of the Phanous Research and Innovation Centre. Then, by considering the outcomes of the strategic layer, we propose a set of specific action strategies which we believe will deliver our objectives, mitigate the risks, and fulfill our primary purposes for this plan.
Scope
The scope of this R&D strategy plan is divided into four strategic fields: architecture, processes, people, and portfolio. Together, decisions made in each of these categories constitute the R&D strategy.
Architecture refers to decisions around how R&D is structured both organizationally and geographically. This category includes decisions such as: centralization vs. decentralization of R&D, the size, location, and focus of R&D units, whether R&D units report to business units or are autonomous, if research is separated from development organizationally, and the degree to which R&D utilizes external resources and partnerships.
Processes are the formal and informal ways that R&D is carried out. This category includes choices about project management systems, the governance of projects (including the nature of senior management reviews), the sequence and flow of critical project tasks, the timing of reviews, and the metrics and indicators used to track projects.
People are enormously significant aspects of an R&D system. Despite the growing use of sophisticated instrumentation, computer simulation, and laboratory automation, R&D is still a labor-intensive process. Choices about human resources such as the mix of generalists vs. specialists, technical backgrounds and training, work styles, career paths, layoff policies, etc. are significantly important.
Portfolio refers to the desired resource allocation across different types of R&D projects and the criteria used to sort, prioritize, and select projects. The R&D portfolio reflects the priorities of the R&D strategy.
