Project Management in the life science sector
It is often said that project management works differently in BioPharma than in other sectors of industry. This course gives an introduction to the scope of projects, the maturity of practice, the typical project culture and the common challenges that occur with planning, risk management and so on.​
​
Who is this course for?
Experienced project managers seeking to move to the BioPharma sector; Investors; Consulting and Service companies that seek to supply the sector.
Introduction to Project Management
In smaller organisations, projects frequently have to be managed without any central support and guidance. There's no internal training for those asked to take on a project, little or no standardised systems or templates!
​
Who is this course for?
​Scientists / Technical people in BioPharma or smaller service companies, experienced in specialist work but asked to 'take on' a project for the first time. Also, people who will be asked to work in cross-function project teams where the company has very little mature practice and will be exposed to project disciplines for the first time.
Leading in tough times
Our sector has seen many challenges recently - layoffs, pulled funding. Causing disruption and demotivation. Hopefully, support will have been given to those who are losing their jobs. But work must continue.
Who is this course for?
Project managers or leaders of other initiatives. Many will have been used to working in a growing company, with enthusiastic team members. This new situation may present more difficulties and this program gives valuable advice, tips, and opportunities to think through the role.
