My name is Kwanshik and I incredibly love to play with someone and something "Creative and Differentiating".

Yes. I have worked in the industry sector almost all of the years since I started my professional career around 38 years ago. I have spent long years of R&D work which was always aiming for the product roll-out for the market, not for the academic papers. I had also run the new-to-organization business under my own control, which was about $200 M of the first year revenue through similar amount of initial investment. I experienced research engineer, head of domestic laboratory, head of laboratory abroad, CTO of global manufacturing company and leader of new business. In the public sector I had the position of a representative of R&D cooperation center for Korean government, and in the educational sector, I was the invited professor for the special course of business-technology management school at a Korea' high-ranked university. I hold a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering specifically for thermodynamics, heat transfer, and energy systems. I like travelling and photographing. (The photos in this website are all taken by myself.)

My decision to make this website comes from the pure motivation to open my knowledge, information, insight and experience which might be helpful to someone who are challenged by the issues of technology strategy, professionals management, R&D planning, product planning and new business or product roll-out, which might lead to a journey filled with many twists and turns.

Of course, I worry there will be some distracting garbage on the flip side, contrary to my pure intention, but, since not so few years I have experienced in the practical field, still it could be learning, I hope. So, if you have some questions in mind, then let me know. Maybe I could give you comments at least beating around near bush instead of an exact answer. Good luck to your travel from R&D to Roll-out!
