    Selected pharmaceutical experience

    BiggsB has delivered global project management engagements for Roche, Pfizer and GSK.

    Client situation

    A regulated initiative spans functions, sites or countries, and no single structure owns the plan, the decisions and the reporting. Leadership needs one accountable program that shows what is happening, what is at risk and who decides.

    Fit criteria: who it is for

    • Pharmaceutical and biotech companies running global or cross-functional initiatives
    • Regulatory, quality and operations leaders responsible for a complex regulated program
    • Organizations establishing a PMO or strengthening an existing one
    • Leadership teams that need consistent reporting across several programs

    When clients call us

    • A regulated initiative involves several functions, sites or countries
    • Several programs compete for the same people and budget
    • A PMO needs to be established, or its governance is not working
    • Leadership does not have a reliable view of progress and risk

    Scope

    • Strategic program oversight for complex regulated initiatives
    • Global project management across functions, sites and countries
    • Portfolio optimization: prioritizing programs against capacity and objectives
    • PMO establishment and governance
    • Performance management: measures and reporting for leadership

    Typical deliverables

    • Program structure with roles and decision rights
    • Integrated program plan with milestones and owners
    • PMO operating model and governance cadence
    • Portfolio view with agreed priorities
    • Performance measures and leadership reporting

    Approach

    1. 01Understand. Confirm the objectives, stakeholders, constraints and current state of the program or portfolio.
    2. 02Structure. Set up the program structure, governance and decision rights, or strengthen the PMO already in place.
    3. 03Run. Manage the plan with your teams, track performance and bring issues to the right decision makers.
    4. 04Hand over. Leave governance, plans and reporting your organization can run without us.
