A few years ago, I was given a daunting task: “Take all the resources you need, but deliver results within a tight deadline.” I felt uneasy. In the regulatory world, we’re used to relying on the pace of regulatory agencies to justify our timelines. But that excuse doesn’t fly when you’re expected to deliver faster results.
Today, the challenge is even greater. Regulatory agencies are dealing with backlogs, and getting timely responses can be tough. But here’s the good news: with the right relationships and experience, like the ones we’ve cultivated, you can navigate these hurdles more swiftly.
Let’s talk about why regulatory speed is crucial. It’s easy to find a regulatory team that can secure approvals, but it’s rare to find one that can do it fast. Think about it—have you ever noticed a competitor launching their product ahead of you? Their brand differentiation is sharper, their market entry quicker, and they’re thriving while you’re caught in a supply chain disruption—often due to regulatory delays. Meanwhile, they’ve already stocked the shelves and taken over your market share.
This isn’t just about business; it’s about your career too. If you’re perceived as a bottleneck rather than a strategic partner, you’ve got a regulatory speed problem. No pharma executive team wants a regulatory leader who drags their feet. They want someone who resolves issues swiftly and efficiently, positioning the company for success.
So, how do you stack up in terms of Regulatory Speed? It’s one of the five key categories we evaluate. And here’s the exciting part: in just five minutes, you can discover whether you’re at the top of your game or if there’s room for improvement.
