Panel: Sponsor-CRO-Site Collaboration and Communication

Tue, Oct 7 | 11:15 AM - 12:00 PM

Session details:

Optimizing the partnership between sponsors and CROs is essential to realize the maximum value from the relationship. These practices are the first step in the journey to move from a tactical client/vendor relationship to a more strategic operating model, where teams operate on a united front with shared goals and aligned structures and processes. This translates to increased resource productivity, cost savings, and ultimately, more successful studies. In this session we will look at ways this can be done such as: 

  • Creating a practical communication plan with escalation procedures on both sides
  • Developing and maintaining study/site risk assessment plans  
  • Ensuring agreed risk mitigation actions in advance where possible
  • Monitoring quality and performance as you go by using KPIs
  • Establishing common team goals to be aligned with partner business goals where possible
  • Creating an atmosphere of positive collaboration is important for the sanity of the team, and ultimately, the success of the study
