Overview
In the 1990s, diversified product portfolios across medical devices, small molecules, generics, biologics, and branded drugs illustrated value. However, in recent years companies have realized the potential of having a concise product portfolio and implementing strategies with simplicity at its core. This shift in the trend was witnessed in the consolidation of 60 major life sciences companies into, 10.
Pharmaceutical organizations must conduct major modifications right from the Regulatory to the end-product packaging and labeling domain for the product(s) they support. Multinational Pharmaceutical firms face much more complex scenarios, as they perform multiple product transfers. To drive these modification initiatives towards a successful execution, the organization should ensure a constant evaluation of their activities and processes and ensure they are in alignment with their company’s end goals.
As most organizations fail during the initial phase of such product transition deals/decisions due to incorrect approaches, and/or unforeseen circumstances, establishing a governance plan at the get-go is crucial. To avoid errors from the beginning and at any given time of the process, organizations must ensure that they implement management plans at initial governance stage to manage the transition procedures.
Establishing a Transition Management Office (TMO) will help organizations track their progress during the transition phase through a single point of contact. A TMO framework must ensure that:
- Transition road maps are designed from a Regulatory standpoint
- Strategize every phase and step involved in the transition
- Deals made during the process are impartial towards any merging or divesting entity
- Develop a resilient framework of operation for participating entities
- Visibility on progress is available for all stakeholders during the transition period
- Necessary documentation tasks are to be kept up to date
