It happens to all of us, especially in the world of regulatory affairs, where other stakeholders and external factors can feel overwhelming.

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.

I might be ruffling some feathers among my regulatory colleagues with this email, but I believe it’s worth it to share something powerful with Regulatory Affairs Stakeholders and Executive Teams. You now have the opportunity to assess how your regulatory colleagues are performing. I encourage you to use the insights from this tool to offer

I wanted to bring your attention to a crucial aspect of your business that holds the potential to expedite your market entry and drive faster results—regulatory affairs. In the world of business, speed is often a determining factor for success. Companies strive to bring their products to market swiftly, while maintaining the highest standards of
