A team of experienced consultants from PA Consulting Group worked with a core team of GN ReSound managers and other staff http://www.paconsulting.com/our-experience/gn-resound-transforming-innovative-product-development-performance/ 834 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:17:57 GMT 20120319111757 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:22:08 GMT 20090601162208 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:17:57 GMT 2012031911111757 PA helped Novo Nordisk, one of the world's largest insulin manufacturers, to embark on an ambitious business strategy of becoming more than a developer of insulin and insulin delivery devices; to become a company that patients would turn to manage their diabetes - a preferred diabetes company'. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-experience/novo-nordisk-establishing-a-strategic-innovation-unit/ 1060 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:19:18 GMT 20120319111918 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 10:50:54 GMT 20090609105054 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:19:18 GMT 2012031911111918 Changing markets, increased supplier sophistication and ever-present competitive pressures mean that innovation has become key to delivering sustained profitable growth. Most companies recognise this, but the success rate of innovation programmes remains questionable. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/futureworlds-using-uncertainty-to-drive-innovation/ 1105 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:44:33 GMT 20120319114433 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:19:18 GMT 20090609151918 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:44:33 GMT 2012031911114433 The current economic climate makes strategic leadership difficult because it is hard to tell what the future holds. Will the organisation be healthy? Will it be half or twice the size? Times like these test leaders. There is an inevitability that the rules will change rapidly, and that key stakeholders and agendas will shift with them. Different economic scenarios that organisations face can impact the role that leaders need to take. http://www.paconsulting.com/introducing-pas-media-site/highlighting-pas-expertise-in-the-media/opinion-pieces-by-pas-experts/evaluation-centre-the-credible-leader-1-march-2009/ 1242 Sun, 01 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT 20090301000000 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:42:44 GMT 20090610184244 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 16:13:04 GMT 201101171641304 PA, working with Elopak and its closure supplier, designed and developed a new type of sealer, the Pure-Cap U. The sophisticated Pure-Cap U has met all of Elopaks requirements by providing a hygienic, single-action, resealable opening device on aseptic cartons. Since its launch it has outperformed its nearest competitors and has been nominated for several awards. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-experience/elopak-setting-new-industry-standards-for-aseptic-cartons/ 1735 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:06:54 GMT 20120320120654 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:11:04 GMT 20090619161104 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:06:54 GMT 2012032012120654 PA Consulting Group's technology centre provides a full range of services to support Cleantech companies and investors throughout the technology development cycle. Cleantech embraces a diverse range of products, services, processes and technologies across all industry verticals. Cleantech has been a major recipient of technology investment in recent years.

It differentiates a business from competitors and has the potential to generate substantial changes to shareholder value. Successfully delivering these new offerings, however, requires development projects spanning organisational functions that are often challenging for large and small organisations alike. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/delivering-multi-disciplinary-technology-projects-successfully/ 4826 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:29:09 GMT 20120319112909 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:09:21 GMT 20091001150921 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:29:09 GMT 2012031911112909 SmartJect autoinjector, developed by PA Consulting Group (PA) for Janssen Research and Development LLC (formerly Centocor R&D) is the worlds first pre-filled, single use, disposable auto-injector which fully automates the injection cycle. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-experience/smartject-autoinjector-developed-by-pa-for-janssen-research-and-development-llc-formerly-centocor-rd/ 4926 Wed, 23 May 2012 23:38:33 GMT 20120523233833 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:27:26 GMT 20091006142726 Wed, 23 May 2012 23:38:33 GMT 2012052323113833 Pharmaceutical R&D is under pressure to counter rising operational costs, depleted pipelines and impending patent expiries. For many, this can only be achieved in the long term by increasing R&D productivity. Advances have been made through Computer Aided Drug Design, high-throughput techniques, and the Omics revolution. But, what is the next step? We believe that radical new ways of working and a culture of external collaboration is a key element in turning around pharmaceutical R&D productivity an http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/what-does-open-innovation-mean-to-pharmaceutical-research-and-development-and-how-can-it-be-realised/ 5189 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:49:36 GMT 20120215154936 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:45:35 GMT 20091016164535 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:49:36 GMT 201202151534936 Transformation to an Open Innovation culture is a challenge for any company. Open Innovation encourages sharing and exploration of opportunities with external partners. This means that our scientists and engineers, now need to adopt a broader set of skills. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/open-innovation-in-science-and-technology-do-you-have-the-right-people-for-the-job/ 6407 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 10:43:49 GMT 20120319104349 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:52:32 GMT 20091202145232 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 10:43:49 GMT 2012031910104349 Being constructive with disruptive technologies - In PAs experience, even where organisations have a reasonable grasp of the nature of potentially disruptive technologies, they can struggle to link the impact to their future business. Sometimes, the inability to model potential impact is caused by a lack of a clear, strategic view of how industry drivers will shape market needs. Sometimes its caused by a difficulty in projecting how technologies will combine to meet targets for products and ser http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/being-constructive-with-disruptive-technologies/ 6428 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:25:30 GMT 20120319112530 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:37:47 GMT 20091202173747 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 11:25:30 GMT 2012031911112530 PA helped the Burgopak team define the complete manufacturing process route. We also helped Burgopak protect their innovation with both direct intellectual property (IP) and ring fencing IP to protect the manufacturing process.
