FEATURED EDITORIAL

Escape The Biotech's Valley Of Death

The biopharmaceutical's “Valley of Death” is entered through a desert of dwindling funding. Chief Editor Louis Garguilo talks with two consultants on avoiding financial failure when outsourcing development and manufacturing. The many contributing factors for failure may have a common denominator: Project Management is an overlooked financial savior.

Globalization vs. Localization: Where To Outsource In A Changing World

Geographical strategy for outsourcing is a pressing issue: balancing historical global supply chains with current pressures to reshore/nearshore parts of operations. In this fireside chat, editorial board members Lynn Cinelli, and Kent Pryor help us navigate the geographical pressures of modern outsourcing, the root causes of global supply chain breakdowns, the hardest assets to move across regions, and whether time-sensitive sponsors should simplify their chain or hunt for best-in-class partners globally.
