5th Annual Pharma Resource Planning & Portfolio Management Conference

Philadelphia, PA

http://www.marcusevansch.com/cw_prp

Now, in its 5th year the Pharma Resource Planning and Portfolio Management event will build upon our previous years by continuing the focus on overarching portfolio management instead of individual project management, but will look more in-depth at resource building to keep operations in-house, strategies for a more productive portfolio review process and more consideration of the market conditions looking ahead using forecasting techniques. Delegates will also hear from a wide variety of relevant perspectives beyond branded pharma including med device, biotech, generics and consumer healthcare experts.

Delegates will leave the conference with strategies to improve their resource allocation programs and in turn better manage their portfolios. Take-home lessons include ways to prioritize your current projects and new R&D projects to increase the possibility of a high return on your investments, which is especially critical in an unstable economy and an environment where pipelines are drying up and the cost to research and develop new products is rising.
