Time and temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products are increasingly shipped to the far reaches of the globe in support of research, clinical trials, and for commercialization. This presentation will contemplate how the various constraints of Project Management (time, scope, budget, quality, risk, etc.) affect the pharmaceutical supply chain and how BioConvergence is helping companies evaluate and mitigate their product’s risk in the ever complex pharmaceutical supply chain.

Over the past ten years there have been some significant contributions to the discipline of project management from some very unexpected sources. Some of these contributions aren’t labeled as “project management”, and may even have gone unnoticed by the larger PM community.
In this talk Carl will review some of these contributions, consider their implications and have the group engage interactively in application of these tools. Results will be shared with all participants.

10 Steps to Metrics that Matter

Reuben Vandeventer, Project Management Office,
Baxter Biopharmaceutical Solutions

An interactive presentation and discussion on the common pitfalls of project, process and organizational metrics, and the steps that you can take to improve your metrics.

Success is something that we all strive for and we use many tools to achieve success, but none more over utilized than metrics - it's all about metrics. So the question must be posed: What are metrics? Why do we want to know and see numbers, totals of numbers, averages of numbers and so on. In this session, you will move through the progression of how to analyze your current state metrics, how to find weaknesses or flaws in those metrics and most importantly how to convert your metrics from lackluster to truly powerful. Design metrics that penetrate to the processes that matter by breaking down the 10 Steps to Metrics that Matter.
