- Innovation development driven by PTT’s strategic objectives (Top-down approach) is managed under the oversight of the PTT Management Committee (PTTMC) and the Corporate Plan and Risk Management Committee (CPRC). These innovations are directly aligned with PTT's strategic goals, which are derived from the organization's Top Executive Thinking Session (TTS) and Strategic Thinking Session (STS). These sessions provide a framework and direction for creating business plans across various departments focused on developing innovations and technologies. The emphasis is on improving production processes, creating new products and services, and fostering innovation initiatives within the PTT Group. Additionally, new initiatives are carried out in line with the organization’s overall direction.
- Innovation development through the collection of creative ideas, both from within and outside the organization (Bottom-up approach), is integrated and managed holistically by the Enterprise Risk Management Committee (ERMC) and the PTT Innovation Management Committee (PTT IMC), under the management of PTT Group Portfolio Management. This innovation process involves gathering ideas from employees through various channels, such as Productivity Improvement Projects, knowledge-sharing activities, and employee participation in contests like Innovation Boost Camp. The collected ideas are reviewed and presented at PTT IMC meetings or senior executive meetings, where feedback, guidance, or directives are provided to scale these innovations to other areas for organizational-wide development.
The PTT innovation management process comprises four key steps, spanning from the initiation to the final outcome, as outlined below:
- Input: The process begins by incorporating both internal and external changing factors, alongside feedback, suggestions, and creative ideas from stakeholders within and outside the organization. These inputs serve as the foundation for developing the PTT Innovation Master Plan.
- Development: This phase involves formulating strategic plans and setting the direction for innovation at PTT, including creating an innovation master plan, a clear roadmap, and the categorization of innovations. These frameworks will serve as a foundation for the execution of innovation projects moving forward.
- Execution: In this phase, strategies and plans are put into action, with a strong emphasis on swift implementation. During execution, pilot tests are conducted, and feedback data is continuously incorporated to refine and enhance the process. Additionally, when a unique and commercially viable innovation or invention is developed, intellectual property management processes such as patent and petty patent registrations are implemented to appropriately protect the intellectual property in accordance with the innovation's nature.
- Result: Upon completing the processes outlined in steps 1-3, the result is various forms of innovation, such as new products or services, novel business models, and/or revamped workflows. These innovations are then evaluated to determine if they should be scaled into full-fledged businesses, launched as commercial products or services, or remain under the responsibility of the PTT Group companies. The outcomes will be used as input data to inform strategy development and business planning at both the group and company levels within PTT.
