Abstract

The Stage-Gate is a market-oriented model that aims to launch new products on the market. Therefore, it can be appropriately introduced and applied to the operation and management of NSSCP, which is undergoing demonstration projects for Daegu and Siheung. In addition, smart cities have the characteristics of convergence and complex among various innovative technologies. When the Stage-Gate is introduced, the performance can be managed centering on the outcomes for each research institution. Therefore, the NSSCP is applying the Stage-Gate for the first time among national R&D projects to improve the quality of the research results and to demonstrate and commercialize them successfully. This paper reviews the operation results of the 1st and 2nd years when the State-Gate was introduced and analyzes the opinions of an R&D management agency, research institutes, and gate reviewers to present the supplementary and improvements for applying to the evaluation process for the next year. When operating the Stage-Gate by optimizing the situation for each project and being wary of inefficiencies caused by the rigid operation, it is expected that flexible evaluation for each outcome will be possible according to the convergence characteristics of smart cities.

Stage-Gate 프로세스는 신제품을 아이디어에서 출시로 옮기기 위한 개념 및 운영 모델로, 다양한 신제품 개발 및 연구개발사업에 적용되고 있다. Stage-Gate는 신제품을 시장에 출시하는 것을 목표로 하는 시장 지향적 모델이므로, 대구광역시와 시흥시를 대상으로 실증사업을 진행 중인 스마트시티 혁신성장동력 프로젝트의 운영·관리에 적절히 도입 및 응용 가능하다. 또한 스마트시티는 다양한 혁신 기술 간 융·복합적 특성을 갖는데, Stage-Gate 도입 시, 이를 세분화하여 연구 기관별 성과물 중심의 성과 관리가 가능해진다. 따라서 스마트시티 혁신성장동력 프로젝트(NSSCP: National Strategic Smart City Program)는 국가연구개발사업 최초로 투자 효율성 제고와 연구 성과의 품질 향상, 성공적인 실증 및 사업화를 위하여 Stage-Gate를 적용하였다. 본 논문은 State-Gate 도입 1~2차년도 운영 결과를 검토하고 전문 기관, 연구 기관, 관문심사위원의 의견을 분석하여 향후 차년도 평가체계 운영과 타 연구과제에 적용을 위한 보완 및 개선사항을 제시하였다. Stage-Gate 방법론에 과도하게 몰입되어 경직된 운영에 따른 비효율을 경계하고 해당 사업의 실정에 최적화하여 운영한다면, 스마트시티의 융복합·다학제적 특성에 맞게 성과물 유형에 따른 유연한 평가가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
