Abstract:

The Keys to Clinical Operations Success: Optimizing the Process by Focusing on The People First
 
Moderator:
Tim Dietlin, Vice President, Clinical Development Practice, Campbell Alliance
 
Panelists:
Amirtha Naadimuthu, Vice President and Head of US Clinical Research, Sanofi-Aventis
 
Craig Landau, Vice President, Chief Medical Officer, Head of Clinical Research, Purdue Pharma
 
James Kirwin, Associate Vice President, Global Clinical Operations, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals
 
Mark Bach, Vice President, Clinical Research Operations Worldwide, Merck & Co.
 
The hot topics in clinical operations always come back to two factors: efficiency and productivity. While much focus has been given to ‘changing the R&D paradigm’ to achieve optimization, the topic of handling the ‘people side’ of operational success is one that is rarely addressed. The qualities to steer a pharmaceutical company to success now go beyond just industry knowledge. Success requires adept change management and leadership skills; because without employee buy-in and dedication to a company’s often changing vision, no new process can ever be successfully implemented. Be a part of this dynamic dialogue, as senior Clinical Operations executives discuss new models for process optimization, attracting and retaining clinical talent, and maintaining a stable, dedicated, and consistent clinical team in an environment that breeds change.
