Delivering projects in a challenging and uncertain environment Wednesday 3 June 2015, GSK, Brentford, UK www.pipmg.org [email protected] Kindly hosted by: 980 Great West Road, Brentford Middlesex TW8 9GS Dinner details Introduction and Overview Background The pharmaceutical development pathway is rarely smooth and critics are sometimes quick to lay blame at the feet of the project manager. More objective observers, however, are well aware of the many hazards lying in wait. This workshop will look at some of these hazards and suggest ways to identify and avoid them. They include failure to identify the customers’ real requirements as opposed to their stated requirements and the distractions encountered by sponsors and stakeholders. Also to be considered are the strains put upon a functional expert asked – or told – to assume the role of project manager, what happens when risk is not managed in real time and what happens when we forget the infernal triangle of time, cost and quality in our drive for performance standards whilst keeping within project scope.
