Pre conference workshop: Increasing pharma-CRO partnership success using balanced scorecard metrics

Tuesday 21 October 2008, Courtyard Philadelphia Downtown, United States

  • How well are your outsourced trials working?
  • How effective are your partnerships?
  • Are you getting the best value? 
  • Where can you improve the overall value and efficiency of the trial?

Metrics are critical to answering these questions and assessing the status of outsourcing partnerships. In this full-day, hands-on workshop, we’ll show you how to build a Balanced Scorecard metrics system that gives you the information you need to create and maintain successfully outsourced clinical trials. We’ll look at metrics from a variety of angles and help you build your scorecard. We’ll cover the following topics:

  • How do metrics translate into increased R&D productivity?
  • What metrics should you gather to get accurate information?
  • What metrics are most appropriate for different types of outsourcing situations?
  • What internal metrics should you maintain?
  • How can you use metrics to manage and reduce risk?
  • What are the ideal metrics to include?
  • How do you build your scorecard to make it effective and successful?
