“Processes put in place by PA laid the groundwork for global electronic submissions and collaboration of all R&D functions, resulting in timely and efficient global regulatory approvals” HEAD OF GLOBAL REGULATORy OPERATIONS, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY

Improving R&D effectiveness for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology  companies

The cost of research and development is increasing for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies while blockbuster drugs are coming off patent without pipelines to replenish the lost revenue.

PA Consulting Group works with R&D organisations to meet this challenge in a number of ways including: improving the management of science; planning and delivering development effectively through complex project management; establishment of good governance to facilitate local productivity within global rules; and effective management of clinical resources and other traditional bottlenecks.

We also work with our Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology clients to help create dynamic and high performance organisations where cultural sensitivity, reward and recognition, and virtual collaborations are all employed to create sustained business transformation. PA provides a range of R&D services from strategy consulting through to product and process development

Strategy, management and organisation

PA helps Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies to establish the strategic direction of their technology platforms and market entry strategies. This help includes implementing new business models, developing governance structures and defining new and standardised R&D pathways.

Discovery

PA is uniquely placed to help research groups review and improve their work because our teams are typically staffed with ex-industry experts who combine their scientific experience  with management, consulting and other specialised skills such as decision science, IT architecture and change management.
Formulation, product and process development.

PA's product and process engineering specialists are supported by the physical and human resources required to take life sciences projects beyond the early stages of development all the way through to production

Clinical development

PA helps pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients to create value through highly effective collaborative clinical development.

Regulatory information management

PA has a proven approach to managing regulatory information that ensures pragmatic analysis of key requirements (such as business process, functional, technical, training, QA, security and audit requirements) which leads to an outcome that is more likely to be right first time

R&D performance improvement

All pharmaceutical executives are concerned to maximise the value that R&D can add and most companies are undertaking R&D performance improvement initiatives.

However success in these initiatives faces these challenges such as the long timescales of R&D and subjective criteria for agreement on performance in a creative, high-risk environment.  PA's expertise in change management and quantitative performance modelling offers key services in support of R&D performance improvement.
