STRATEGIC RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: Although investment in pharma R&D continues to increase, approval of new drugs remains relatively low. This productivity crisis presents new challenges to biopharma R&D in terms of resource management, forecasting, and capacity planning. To counteract the decline in new therapeutics and high risk of product failure, biopharma must adapt with improved performance planning, intelligent outsourcing, and new big data analytics aimed at developing strategic and flexible resource management systems. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s and the BioPharma Strategy Series’ 15th Annual “Strategic Resource Management: Enhanced R&D Productivity, Forecasting and Planning” attracts over 100 senior R&D executives sharing best practices and new ideas on how to enhance R&D productivity, forecasting and planning with important discussions on optimizing resource management, outsourcing, innovation, R&D, clinical capacity planning, forecasting and business intelligence strategies. ---------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: In an environment of declining revenues and uncertain commercial success, biopharma, device and R&D companies need to continuously evaluate their portfolios. Manufacturers must make tough decisions about which products and projects to pursue to optimize long-term revenue and reduce overall risk. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s and the BioPharma Strategy Series’ 12th Annual Portfolio Management: Aligning Portfolio and Productivity with Corporate Strategy to Drive Innovation attracts over 100 senior R&D executives from the pharma, biotech, device, IT, public and governmental communities who share best practices in project and portfolio management, R&D innovation, decision analysis, forecasting and the improvement of operational models.
