Medical Researchers
The Rhythm of Business Approach
Our services for academic and early-stage research alliances address the need to build core collaboration skills among people who are focused on their science. This includes experiential training, as well as working with scientists and project managers who may be accountable for delivering on the goals of the industry-academia collaboration. We build operating frameworks and governance processes that are fit-for-purpose as the science evolves from discovery to preclinical and first-in-human.

Can Academic Science and Corporate Discipline Collaborate?
Specialized commercialization service partners take a company’s products to market, often conducting localized clinical trials, gaining marketing authority from local regulators and pricing from payers.
This type of partnering is not easy, as the basic relationships are often contractually transactional, seeing the only exchange of value as money for service.
The Rhythm of Business Approach
The key to turning a transactional relationship to a collaborative one is to help your partner help you to help them. Our training and executive coaching services help create this virtuous circle of reciprocity, building skill and changing perspectives.
You need an alliance management playbook that is fit for purpose and helps add a strategic, forward-looking dimension to the relationship that allows the parties to plan and collaborate more freely. Over time, trust builds and more value creating collaboration can occur.
