16:30 Interactive breakout session: Working Collaboratively with outsourcing partners to maximise capabilities and returns
Harald Augustin, Head of Steinbeis-Transfer Centre, ESB Business School
Outsourcing has traditionally been seen as driver towards lowering bottom-line costs, with any business improvements coming in as a distant afterthought. However more and more BioPharma and Generics firms now realise that effective collaboration is where the battle for excellence is won or lost, and that by working collaboratively with outsourcing partners, rather than just driving for cost reduction, they’re able to liberate real improvements.

Working collaboratively doesn’t just mean signing a contract and meeting after two years to see it potentially hasn’t worked. Partners must work hard to forge these effectively relationships– this takes time, effort and proactive management.

This interactive workshop addresses the new paradigm of outsourcing relationships and delivers a comprehensive tool-box enabling you to make immediate improvements to your strategy and execution of value-generating partnerships.
  • Educating the value chain to ensure responsibility and ownership at each step
  • Synchronising the actions of all the players in the supply chain to achieve objectives
    • Collaborative planning
    • Technology enabling better visibility and relationship management
  • How best to utilise service level agreements to benefit both parties and define the relationship from all points of view
    • Agreeing and defining responsibilities, KPI’s and service levels
    • Strategic considerations
    • Emplacing and empowering the right people to ensure best relationship management
  • Optimising IT components and links between organisations
    • The tools available to facilitate open and optimised communication
    • Aligning benefits for both parties
  • The devil in the details – accessing the right data at the right time
  • Case study examples: Spotting and addressing specific red flags

17:10 Interactive breakout session: Getting the best out of innovative network systems by optimal talent management and development
Developing a talent pipeline to meet the pharma’s current and future needs is one of the most pressing challenges facing SC management. Nowhere is this challenge more visible than in the emerging markets, where most business are trying to upscale their organisation and are struggling to attract and retain people capability.

This workshop addresses several high level perspectives on how SC leaders are pushing human capital efforts internally within the SC, rather than leaving this key function to the traditional HR route.
  • Crucial requirements to develop human capital
  • Building flexibility and redundancy into organisational structure by training people to be multi-skilled
    • Practical skills and SC expertise
    • Special SC needs
    • Cultural and language needs
  • SC management leader development – key capabilities
    • Global perspective of regional and corporate culture
    • Technical capabilities
    • Cross-functional, relational leadership and communication
  • Developing the right solution for talent-resilient supply chain organisation
    • Combating the high competition for talented professionals in these regions
    • Overcoming the profession’s low profile
    • Professional accreditation
    • Exploiting web-based training
    • On-going education, retention strategies and incentives
