About Life Science Network
The next decade will bring challenging times for companies in the life science industry. To name a few challenges: regulators and insurers are seeking to reduce health care costs by stimulating least cost alternatives and requiring clear health economic benefits of treatment, leading to direct margin pressure. Purchasing activities are being consolidated by health care providers, putting pressure on sales prices of devices and supplies. For many pharmaceutical companies, blockbusters will lose their patent and R&D pipelines have become ever more uncertain. Better planning & control of operations and development will be an increasingly important focus point to address these trends.
The life science planning & control network is a network for senior managers, concerned with planning & control and value chain management in the life science industry. Members of the network take advantage by sharing best-practices and discussing industry trends. The network gives you the possibility to share experiences and expertise with peers in your industry to deal with these challenges.
Through semi-annual Round Table sessions at Croy Castle, members are provided with the opportunity to share learning and best practices regarding forecasting and planning processes, organizational set-up and systems.
