    CMO Contracting, Oversight and Value Optimisation

    10 – 12 March 2025, live online training

    Summary

    Outsourcing clinical and commercial activity is a key strategic decision for an organisation. For the outsourcing to be successful, there needs to be a long-term strategy, which is underpinned by a contract which covers activities from on boarding to exit, minimising risk for the parties. Implementation of the strategy requires an oversight model that is fit for purpose, with appropriate KPIs and an agreed mechanism to optimise value in the partnership.
