What we do

We are a boutique Life Sciences management and organizational consultancy specializing in strategic planning and roadmap development, industry benchmarking, world class regulatory information management, organizational transition management, and working with leadership and project teams to accelerate change and value realization.

We regularly work with large and mid-tier global bio-pharmaceuticals, small growing biotech, medical device, consumer product, agricultural, regulatory software and service providers, and the investment community.

Our Benchmark Platform – Sharing for Impact We conducted our first study of technology innovations and ICH standard adoption in 2007 and 35 studies later, we are in the middle of the regulatory eco-system and relied upon for strategic trends and operational best practices by all parties. We committed to industry and the providers that serve them to conduct regular, mutually beneficial studies with a simple goal; “Everybody Gets Better.”

Our globally recognized benchmarks provide valuable information to inform strategy and key decisions such as:

• How do we evolve our systems, processes and organization with our growing work in emerging and secondary markets to streamline how work is conducted globally?
• What are the latest technology trends and which ones are worth investing in?
• How can regulatory service and software providers better align their products and services to support industry where they will be in 2 – 4 years?
• What are the most effective ways to modernize our regulatory capability
  and program; what makes business and compliance sense?
• How do we increase collaboration and information exchange with our 100 + local offices around the globe and key strategic 3rd party partners?
• What are the key non-technology practices to improve our operating performance?

For 2020, we have an outstanding Core Research Team comprised of global experts
in regulatory, industry standard bodies, technology application, and business process / organizational excellence.

We are extending our regulatory benchmark effort to include a deeper analysis of the vital connections with clinical, safety/PV, label management, R&D portfolio planning, and the supply release process.

The Value of a Membership

Starting in 2019, we introduced our Premier Benchmark Membership to select industry and provider clients. This program combines our advisory services and benchmarking capability to work with each individual organization, however the program is framed around “community learning.” With an “executive lounge” containing our private research and market reports, it’s a collaboration platform consisting of private learning webinars, global survey design events to collaborate and improve the data we collect, and private community debriefs on the latest research and thought leadership. We find that the collective will always learn and innovate quicker; this is why we strongly believe that innovation is a “team sport”!
