You Can't Create More Energy — So Stop Trying Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted. We wrote about entropy some time back — how chaos increases and organizations need to reset. This time, we're tackling another law of physics. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Only converted into [...]

  Get the Most Out of What You Have Optimizing effect when opportunities exceed capacity. If you work with process, standards, and technology, the opportunities today are almost endless. Improve how we work. Streamline. Standardize. CDISC. ICH M11 protocols. Use R and pharmaverse. AI. Automation. And don’t forget — you [...]

Chaos is increasing. In your organization too. It's the law of physics: Entropy (chaos) grows over time. Sometimes you need a reset and take the hit, or actually - make the investment - to reset.  Why Your Organization (and you?) Needs a Reset (Before Entropy Wins) There's a concept in physics called entropy. [...]

Most of us think conversation is about taking turns. You speak, I speak. Like a relay race, where the baton is “having your say.” But real conversation isn’t about that.  - It’s about change.  - It’s about walking away wiser than when you came in.  - It’s truly hearing others. [...]

Pharmaceutical  development is a complex business. It’s a specialist driven business with a range of different experts in different fields working on cross functional development projects. Typically, we organize ourselves in matrix organizations with functional teams in the vertical and the development projects in the horizontal. When growing, we break down [...]

For decades we have approached learning in the same way; a 2-day bulk course, a conference, classroom training, and - first and foremost - learning by “doing” or “asking a colleague”. All too often, we get a 2-day course on a new system 6 months before we actually start using [...]
