What is the importance of project manager in pharmaceutical industry?

Drug development is unpredictable The course of drug development is unpredictable and therefore it is critical to have realistic expectations for any given project. There are inherent difficulties in running a drug development successfully and the larger the project the more numerous potential problems can be. Accounting for the factors that can stand in the way of a project’s success and being able to take an objective view of the strategies required is a demanding, but necessary task.

Regardless of the amount that a pharmaceutical company decides to invest in its new drug pipeline, there is no chance of success unless a project is effectively managed. At present the pharmaceutical industry is under pressure to improve its productivity, as the number of new products reaching the market has been on the decline for a number of years. The productivity decline has led to many observers believing that the industry requires a new approach to the way in which it runs its projects.

It is these circumstances that have led to the rise of project managers in the pharmaceutical industry. Project managers are able to apply past experience to ongoing projects in order to solve problems in a practical manner whilst also being able to develop new approaches to resolve project-specific issues. Although it is impossible to predict every factor that will affect a project, by being proactive the major issues can be identified. Furthermore, any preconceptions can be challenged and alternative scenarios can be devised.

Focus on Pharmaceutical licensing

Alliances and collaborations are playing a greater role in drug development. Companies are finding that by licensing in compounds they are able to supplement their pipelines. Over a quarter of the sales of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies were derived from in-licensed drugs and also huge royalities companies received from outlicense molecules. This approach allows the parties to benefit from the commercial and technical strengths of the other organization and the sharing of risk. Yet once again, careful management of a project is required if it is to have any chance of success. Poor project management could negate all the advantages that have been gained through potential collaboration.
