Dallas, TX -- (SBWire) -- 06/14/2011 --Strategic Management of Resources and Portfolios By ReportsnReports
As a company develops its business, resources will always be limited and risk will always be involved. This is especially true for companies operating in the high-risk life science industry. To stay on top of the changing pharmaceutical R&D environment, certain measures must be implemented. This report analyzes:

Types of risk that must be faced;
Ways that various risks can be assessed and managed;
How corporate resources can be allocated to meet the goals and create maximum value according to the corporate strategy.

Management of risks, resources, and portfolios are key challenges for any life science company that seeks to survive the difficult times through which the industry is now passing.

There is ample evidence that the entire sector is in the process of restructuring, initially taking a defensive stance to defend earning streams but actually building momentum toward renewed initiatives on a broad front. The restructured industry that will come roaring back within the next few years will consist of leaner and more effective companies. Certainly, all of these survivors will have learned how to manage their risks and resources strategically.

For a life science company, risk comes in many forms, with compound attrition being the most obvious. Strategic Management of Resources and Portfolios: Structuring Risk to Maximize Opportunity in Pharmaceutical R&D examines the types of risks that must be faced (e.g., candidate failure, regulatory risk, legal risk, risk management for launched drugs, commercial and competitor risk, intellectual property risk, operational risk) and shows that these risks can be mitigated and managed if addressed proactively.

Intimately associated with the risk issue is the valuation of projects and portfolios. We outline the major approaches by which objective and quantitative valuation of drug development can be attempted.

Many resource-intense corporate operations show extensive potential for streamlining. We present process optimization and quality control approaches that can result in remarkable savings. These include the “Lean” and “Six Sigma” concept, and the proactive management of laboratory equipment (including service contracts) and inventories.

On a strategic level, resource allocation management can largely be equaled with portfolio management. We evaluate models and approaches for optimal portfolio planning and management, demonstrating that implementation of sound, data-driven, transparent decision processes is paramount. Also described are advanced software suites that are available to help manage the huge corporate data streams on the operational plane (i.e., enterprise resource management) and on the level of business intelligence, where internal data warehouses are analyzed to provide key figures and profiles that aid in decision-making.

Case studies illustrate how companies of various sizes and types (including Pfizer, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Bayer Schering Pharma, and Genzyme) have addressed their portfolio management issues. Strategic Management of Resources and Portfolios: Structuring Risk to Maximize Opportunity in Pharmaceutical R&D concludes by distilling our evaluation of this mission-critical function into actionable recommendations for sound project evaluation and portfolio management.
