Challenge
A mid-sized pharma company sought to accelerate its development programs in a high-quality and efficient manner. The client aimed to optimize the entire clinical ecosystem—including company practices, CROs, vendors, sites, and patients. A comprehensive transformation was needed to achieve radical efficiency across all clinical trial stakeholders.
Approach
We established a transformation program with seven distinct tracks focused on achieving the goals. These tracks included introducing new technologies, standardizing templates, mapping end-to-end processes, and ensuring quality throughout the study. We followed detailed implementation plans to address the entire clinical ecosystem.
Impact
The project accomplished all identified goals reducing trial cycle times by >6 months and increasing resource utilization by >33%. We delivered >50 separate solutions, including a new data warehouse and risk-based quality management. Sustainment plans were established to embed the transformation permanently.
