Federal Technology Transfer Office: Measuring Efficiencies and Effectiveness - Beyond Traditional Metrics

The effectiveness and efficiency of a TTO often cannot be measured merely – or solely– by counting agreements, licenses, or even monies returned on invention investment. How can TTOs gauge internal efficiency and effectiveness in light of pioneering or visionary agency missions? Are there outputs that can and should be described quantitatively or qualitatively that speak to groundbreaking impacts that flow from TTO activities? This Panel will highlight perspectives related to metrics of Technology and Alliance management that trace the ripple effects created within the work scope of TTOs.
