Many organizations look to drive alliance management capability through the development and implementation of an Alliance Management Community of Practice. Unfortunately, most of those efforts fail to create the desired value.

1:30-4:30 SHORT COURSE 2
Jonathan Hughes, Partner, Vantage Partners
Alliances and strategic partnerships (between large pharma companies, small bio-techs, and academic institutions) are increasingly pervasive. But what about alliances between bio-pharma companies and CROs? Are true partnerships with CROs (and other suppliers) really possible? What are the risks and benefits of moving beyond a traditional customer-vendor paradigm? In this interactive workshop, we will explore these and other issues using a number of case studies, and will also discuss how to adapt best practices for strategic outsourcing from other industries to the clinical development context.
Questions to be addressed:
• What are the pros and cons of different models for strategic outsourcing of clinical development?
• Are partnerships between Sponsors and CROs really possible?
• What are the key similarities and differences between strategic relationships between Sponsors and CROs, versus R&D alliances?
• What are leading practices for successful Sponsor-CRO collaboration?
