3:30 PM-5:00 PM LEVEL: •<br />

Room 147B<br />

Resource Management in a Virtual Model: Effective and<br />

Efficient Spending<br />

SESSION CHAIRPERSON(S)<br />

Gregory E. Dombal<br />

Managing Partner, Halloran Consulting Group Inc.<br />

Virtual development models offer the promise of bringing the right<br />

expertise to bear on a project at the right time with minimal company<br />

infrastructure. When effective, this model can offer an extremely costeffective<br />

approach to ensure efficient progress through the development<br />

cycle. However, if poorly executed, virtual development can be derailed by<br />

exorbitant outsource and consultant costs. A thorough and detailed understanding<br />

of how to plan for and integrate the use of a variety of external<br />

sources is essential for the program leader in a virtual development setting.<br />

This session will explore methods that have been successfully employed to<br />

ensure effective and efficient spending in virtual models.<br />

Six Sigma in <strong>Drug</strong> Development: The Good, the Bad, and<br />

the Ugly Experiences in Deployment<br />

SESSION CHAIRPERSON(S)<br />

Michael A. Walega, MSc<br />

Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Covance<br />

While the drug development industry is clearly not yet saturated in Six<br />

Sigma, the language and strategic importance of process excellence<br />

continue to grow and are already fairly common across a broad variety of<br />

organizations globally. Join us as we take a critical look at the accumulating<br />

reality and the lessons learned leveraging Six Sigma to optimize the<br />

complex process that is clinical trial conduct. The session addresses the<br />

experiences with Six Sigma deployment from complementary strategic<br />

and real-life practical perspectives. We will explore and expose lessons<br />

learned from various deployment models, share specific project case<br />

studies, and discuss the applicability of the methodology itself to our<br />

highly variable and complex industry.<br />
