Managing Project Management and Project Portfolio Management

How Project Managers and Portfolio Managers thrive in these Critical Areas of Biopharmaceutical Discovery and Development

6-7 Feb 2018
NBC TOWER | Chicago, IL, United States of America


Why You Should Attend

Managing Project Management and Project Portfolio Management

Project Managers need to deliver the goods – their projects are the future products of their Biopharmaceutical company. Portfolio Managers also need to deliver the goods – their portfolios shape future markets for their Biopharmaceutical company. Discovery projects and portfolios shape the future of Development. Development projects and portfolios shape the future profitability of the Company. By bringing project and portfolio managers together you learn from each other - the issues in the micro and the challenges of the macro and how they influence each other. Discovery managers learn how their decisions influence how the project goes forward into Development. Conversely, Development managers learn how decisions in Discovery shape their projects as they go into Development.
