Keywords: project management, risk management, PMP, CAPM, biotechnology, medical device, life science, pharmaceuticals
Intended For: project managers, project team members
Organization:

How should life science companies define program and project success? How can project managers and teams take targeted action to make their project succeed – on every level? How do we change behaviors to ensure sustainability for the longer term, including the metrics that drive critical decisions affecting the pipeline of projects?

We all know what it means to have a project fail in the traditional sense. But what about the project that has been completed, appears to do well on the surface, but has given no real value to the business? Is it still “successful”?

This webinar will introduce a foundation for redefining project success criteria for pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech companies that balances short- and longer term business needs, and allows project teams to set their project on the path to success from the start. Participants will not only learn how to build their project for the right outcomes, but also what the most important factors are that help us know, along the way, whether those outcomes are still the right ones and still achievable. We’ll explore the role of the team in making success happen, and how to get every team member focused on the right results rather than just completing a set of activities.

Give Back to Your Industry

Recently, I received a letter from the Head of the Department of Applied Biology and Biomedical Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology stating…

“As Head of the department, it is my great pleasure to invite you to serve on this department advisory board. You have been chosen because your experience gives you special insight that will serve our department well and will give us important views from outside of our campus…”

So you may be asking: Why did I want to do this?

I believe it’s critical for a graduating engineer to be ready to contribute almost immediately to his / her industry. And I encourage you to become an active part of your industry.

December 4, 2009 – Neuroscience Summit hosted by IHIF

On December 4, 2009, the Indiana Health Industry Forum (IHIF) will host a Neuroscience Summit, fourth in a series of conferences examining sectors of critical importance to Indiana’s health and life science industries.

This year’s summit offers the opportunity to participate in a Poster Display in conjunction with the event. The Poster Display is open to companies, programs, initiatives, and products highlighting neurologic research, treatment, diagnostics, imaging, care delivery, and awareness programs.
