Enhanced performance and sharper enterprise execution.

Procurement, finance, corporate development, portfolio, PMO, and people teams determine how capital is deployed, partners perform, resources move, integrations stabilize, and new ways of work become the norm.

G&A leaders turn those decisions with us into capabilities their teams implement, adopt, and sustain.

Every enterprise decision shapes how effectively the organization can execute and ultimately reach patients.

Acquisition decisions, supplier strategy, resource allocation, cost structure, and workforce adoption all affect how capital, capacity, and priorities move through the enterprise.

When data is fragmented, supplier governance is weak, resources are difficult to forecast, or ownership is unclear, the organization loses time, capacity, and capital it cannot easily recover.

Scimitar connects those decisions to the operating capabilities behind them, integrating process, technology, governance, and human capital through implementation, adoption, and ownership transfer.

Corporate Development, Strategy & Finance Leaders

Make acquisition value executable.

You are moving from target identification and market assessment through diligence, integration readiness, and post-close execution.

The challenge is connecting strategy, risk, operating-model design, 100-day planning, and value-capture governance so the combined enterprise can maintain continuity and execute with clear accountability.

Procurement & Functional Leaders

Optimize the value, cost, and quality of external partnerships.

You are assessing CROs, CDMOs, and other strategic partners while balancing pricing, capacity, quality, delivery, and governance.

The challenge is putting the right sourcing strategies, commercial structures, scorecards, KPIs, escalation paths, and alliance routines in place so external relationships perform as part of the broader operating model.

Portfolio, PPM & Resource Leaders

Put capital and capacity behind the right priorities.

You are trying to create a common view of demand, capacity, timelines, risks, and strategic trade-offs across the portfolio.

The challenge is connecting data standards, resource algorithms, dashboards, scenario planning, tools, governance, and internal resource owners into a planning capability the organization can sustain.

HR, Talent & Change Leaders

Build the operating foundation for an advancing pipeline

You are connecting organization design, workforce planning, roles, decision rights, learning, and reinforcement to the operating model being implemented.

The challenge is helping people understand what is changing, what they own, and how to apply the new approach in the flow of work so adoption becomes sustained capability.

FAQs for G&A Leaders

Where can Scimitar support an M&A program?

From strategy and target identification through post-close integration. We can support market and target screening, diligence, synergy and risk assessment, integration readiness, 100-day planning, operating-model design, communications, and value-capture governance.

We begin with the capabilities already in place and focus our support where additional structure or execution capacity is needed most.

Can you improve an existing CRO or CDMO network without replacing every partner?

Yes. A complete sourcing event is not always the right move.

We can assess the current network, clarify partner roles and allocation rules, improve pricing and contract structures, establish scorecards and forecast sharing, redesign governance, and reset working relationships. When broader change is warranted, we can also support market assessment, RFI and RFP execution, partner selection, negotiation, transition, and implementation.

Do you recommend PPM and resource-planning software, or do you implement it too?

We support the full path from business need to implementation and sustained use.

The work begins with the decisions, workflows, data, reporting, governance, controls, and user needs the capability must support. From there, Scimitar can lead requirements development, vendor assessment, selection, configuration, integration planning, dashboards, testing, rollout, training, adoption, and transition to internal ownership.

Success is not a software launch. It is a reliable, broadly adopted planning and decision-making capability that your teams can operate independently.

How do you reduce COGS or external spend without creating new operational risk?

We connect savings targets to the underlying work: demand, capacity, supplier performance, contract structure, process design, organizational layers, decision rights, quality requirements, and controls.

That allows leaders to distinguish sustainable productivity improvements from cuts that simply transfer cost, delay, or risk elsewhere. We then install the governance, ownership, and performance measures needed to protect delivery as the new model takes hold.

What does HR and people support include in a Scimitar engagement?

Our supported scope includes organization and workforce design, resource planning, role and decision-right clarification, stakeholder and change-impact assessment, leadership and SME engagement, role-based learning, coaching and mentoring, communications, job aids, and sustainment planning.

These services are tied to a specific operating-model, technology, integration, or enterprise change. They are designed to help people understand, adopt, and independently sustain the capability being built.
