| The external healthcare
world has changed enormously in recent years. We
are having to work much harder to make our products acceptable
to markets and our internal processes need to work at ever-greater
efficiency so that we can remain profitable.
Most pharmaceutical companies accept that it's esssential
to work in a programme and project-oriented way, grouping
the scientific, commercial, technical and operational experts
into the bodies that can really deliver value - cross-functional
development projects.
Unfortunately, the culture of Pharma organisations is
not developing with sufficient speed. Many clearly still
operate as discipline-oriented hierarchies, or are so large
that decision-making and communication are sporadic.
The project manager has the unenviable task of leading in
this complex world! To make it worse, project management is
frequently given little serious attention in the organisation.
The PIPMG are on your side! We are committed to providing
support, guidance and industry advocacy.
There's more in this site about the special
nature of project management in Pharmaceuticals, and why
the cultural
problems in organisations need to be acknowledged.
