All Delivering value from R&D articles http://www.paconsulting.com/rss/technology-and-innovation/delivering-value-from-rd.rss 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 Plc and PA Consulting Group collaboration.

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 Should you be developing a Platform Drug Delivery Device?

The convergence of drugs and medical devices is well established, yet the disconnect between the pharmaceutical and medical device industries is evident. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/pharmaceutical-companies-must-realise-the-advantages-of-drug-delivery-device-innovation/ 5898 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:37:36 GMT 20120319123736 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:48:26 GMT 20091116124826 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:37:36 GMT 2012031912123736 Major pharmaceutical companies have launched a handful of drugs with nano-characteristics in recent years, but revenue has been slow to materialise. However, truly nanoenabled drugs designed from first principles and structurally engineered to deliver particular drugs to targeted sites promise revolutionary treatments and impressive profits. http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/once-bitten-twice-shy-major-pharmaceutical-companies-are-ignoring-truly-nanoenabled-drugs-at-their-peril/ 6002 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:55:08 GMT 20120319135508 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:09:40 GMT 20091118150940 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:55:08 GMT 201203191315508 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 Successful PA Consulting and ERBI Cambridge seminar for emerging companies points the way to economic recovery http://www.paconsulting.com/our-thinking/successful-pa-consulting-and-erbi-cambridge-seminar-for-emerging-companies-points-the-way-to-economic-recovery/ 7938 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:50:37 GMT 20111128135037 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:25:21 GMT 20100216202521 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:50:37 GMT 201111281315037 Meridica was established in May 2001 as part of PAs venture programme.
