Terry Oliver was Chief Technology Innovation Officer at the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), USA. Beginning in 2005, Terry led the management of BPA's US18 million annual direct investment in research, development, and demonstration, which represents approximately US60 million annually in leveraged R&D investments, and an investment nearly 5 times the average US utility. Under his leadership, BPA's Technology Innovation program has enabled breakthroughs and operational improvements in nearly every area of the agency's core businesses — marketing wholesale hydropower, operating more than 15,000 circuit miles of high-voltage transmission lines, advancing energy efficiency and integrating renewable resources. Recent successes include the use of synchrophasors for wide-area control, helical connector shunt innovation and the exploration of end-use-to-generation smart grid integration.

He serves as a member the board of directors of the GridWise Alliance, and is also a member of the International Advisory Board for the International Journal of Innovation and Technology. Terry is also part of the Management and the Advisory Council of the Engineering and Technology Management Department in the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University, USA. In addition, he is a member of Southern California Edison's technical advisory board, Carnegie Mellon University's Electricity Industry Center advisory board, Oregon Institute of Technology's Renewable Energy Engineering Program industry advisory committee, and the technical review panel for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory Wind Program. He is a past member of the Electric Power Research Institute board.

Notably, he's championed a disciplined research management approach, including benchmarking, technology roadmapping, and effective portfolio management, which has led to an unprecedented level of success for BPA's R&D program. Terry is a Fellow with the Portland International Center for the Management of Engineering and Technology. Terry has also been the recipient of BPA's Administrator's Meritorious Service Award, the agency's highest award.

Robert Phaal joined the University of Cambridge Centre for Technology Management in 1997, where he conducts applied research in the area of strategic technology management. This work has focused on supporting companies to customize and initiate roadmapping processes. He has a mechanical engineering background, and post-graduate qualifications in applied and computational mechanics, with industrial experience in technical research, consulting and software development.
