The only interactive deep dive workshop series helping HR leaders navigate the mission-critical journey from clinical to commercial
Emerging biopharma HR leaders face a unique set of challenges when approaching the launch of a new product, not least because they’re expected to build an internal organization and capabilities while also navigating an ever-evolving operating landscape. With such high stakes, how effectively you navigate the journey from clinical to commercial will determine the extent to which your company can realize the full potential of its medicines. Failure is not an option.
In the 1.0 version of this initiative, we explored how people leaders in emerging biopharma organizations can boost launch success by learning from past experiences. In this 2.0 series, we’re building on those insights - offering fresh perspectives and practical lessons to help people leaders navigate the path to launch with greater confidence and clarity.
“Growth is tough. But with the right preparation, resources, and guidance, it can be successfully achieved. I’m looking forward to helping the next generation of emerging biopharma people leaders avoid common mistakes and set them up for sustainable success.” - Ross Grossman, former CHRO, Regeneron
