DIA 2015 51st Annual Meeting: Develop. Innovate. Advance.

Since 1950, the number of FDA drugs approved has halved every nine years based on inflation-adjusted dollars spent, drastically affecting pharmaceutical companies’ ability to reinvest into new technologies. Application of project management techniques for pharmaceutical R&D activities is becoming more widely held as a best practice in organizations, improving results. There are many different ways to apply project management tools and techniques; learning from one another’s successes and failures offers the chance for pharmaceutical project managers to gain understanding without living through each aspect in real project time which is often over ten years from project start. How are other pharmaceutical project managers leveraging project management tools and techniques? What value are they obtaining from their PMP certifications? This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn from your colleagues through results of a pre-meeting survey. An additional survey will also be conducted within the workshop.

**Due to workshop format, seating will be limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis.

The Walter E. Washington Convention Center has stringent regulations on maximum room capacities, and they are strictly enforced. Once all seats are occupied, DIA will be required to close the workshop, and no more participants will be admitted. Interested attendees are encouraged to arrive at workshops early in order to ensure seating. Please note, as a workshop with interactivity, this offering will not be recorded.
