The life sciences marketplace is now characterized by fragmented, outsourced, partnered functions. Lower profit margins are exposing long-term deficiencies in processes. The FDA and other regulators have strengthened their oversight and are cautious to approve new products. To survive and grow, you must focus on all functions, from R&D to manufacturing to commercialization.

• Key areas for improved processes and quality controls
• How to structure workflow to delegate work efficiently, reduce non-value added tasks and create meaningful metrics
