Gate Process Implementation

Breaking a product development effort into manageable parts helps manage risk, enable appropriate resourcing, and show visible progress. Many healthcare companies engaged in product development still do not have a formalized and consistent stage gate* process to compliment their technical development procedures. Stage (or phase) gates are instrumental and necessary to effectively bridge execution and strategy for pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies.

AfR can help:

• Set up a consistent stage gate process and a governance model that bridges projects with strategy, and ensures timely and relevant business decisions.
• Assess your existing processes and governance structure, and develop an improvement plan with you.
• Build in the flexibility needed for your processes to accommodate the different types of projects found within your organization.
