Tuesday Dinner Short Course* 

Optimizing Trial Resourcing through Operational Benchmarking & Ensuring Alignment between Study Goals and Activities - Detailed Agenda 

Jeffrey Handen, Ph.D., Vice President, Clinical Solutions, Medidata Solutions

Sponsor companies are increasingly struggling with having to balance more choices and activities against even less resources than before, as R&D budgets as a whole have started to decrease across the industry. More often than not portfolio decisions are made on the basis of scientific and commercial impact with little to no consideration of resourcing and operational. The audience will gain an understanding and insights into best practices from case studies and benchmark data on how sponsors are using better resource estimating of complete trial activities to manage budget, headcount, and outsourcing considerations, and to identify and minimize non value-added work, in order to free up resources for further value-added work in support of scientific and commercial goals.

*Separate registration is required.
