In this podcast episode on the topic of change and delivery at pace, Andy Murray interviews project delivery experts from the pharmaceutical industry: Denise Moody of the Pharmaceutical Industry Project Management Group, Fraser MacFarlane from GSK, and Danie Du Plessis of Kyowa Kirin International.
During their conversation, we learn:
the imperative and the challenge of focus and prioritization
how a highly innovative industry uses a mix of waterfall and agile against the backdrop of a strict regime of regulation
why organisations die of indigestion rather than starvation
how to manage projects in an industry where multiple projects will die, very few projects will get to success and where spending on projects is in the billions
the challenge of bringing new critical projects into the portfolio and the need to terminate other projects to provide the requisite space and resources
the opportunity to things faster by doing them concurrently, rather than sequentially
the five Cs of successful change
